Russia has launched a new series of attacks across the international border with Sumy Oblast, aimed at reaching the village of Myropillya.

Chechen "Akhmat" special forces, along with a motorised rifle battalion of the 15th Tank Division are taking part in assault operations from the village of Kucherov to the large forest just across the border. So far, no advances have been confirmed. Ukrainian drones are very active in this area.

This evening, 4 Russian Kinzhal hypersonic aeroballistic missiles launched from 4 MiG-31Ks impacted Starokostyantyniv Airbase, Khmelnytskyi Oblast.

Russian forces have achieved a localized breakthrough in Novopavlivka, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, and have quickly captured most/all of this town.

A relatively strong Ukrainian defensive line has now been completely compromised.

In the Richky direction, over the past few days Russian forces have resumed attempts at regaining full control over the Glushkovsky District of Kursk Oblast.

Russian forces began a series of attacks towards the heavily entrenched Ukrainian positions in and around the Novyi Put Tract. They attacked south down two parallel treelines, entering the tract from the northwest. Other forces improved their positions along the railway line and consolidated in the rest of a perpendicular treeline. Heavy fighting is ongoing, with Ukrainian forces using a significant number of drones to repel the attacks.

+ ~0.19 km² in favour of Russia.

In the Khotin and Yunakivka directions, Russian forces intensified their assault operations aimed at recapturing previously lost positions in Sumy Oblast.

In the west, Ukrainian forces once again attempted to infiltrate the western part of Oleksiivka via the agricultural buildings. Russian forces then launched a series of counterattacks and cleared these buildings, before beginning a push down the road to Andriivka. At the same time, Ukrainian forces continued attempts at entering and entrenching in the eastern part of Oleksiivka.

To the east, multiple Russian assault groups used an underground pipeline to attack Ukrainian positions to the rear of Varachyne. Ukrainian formations stationed in the area were aware of this pipe and immediately fired on Russian soldiers emerging from it. Nevertheless, the numbers of Russian soldiers who emerged were too high for the Ukrainians to contain, forcing them to withdraw from the area. The surviving Russian soldiers established control over some treeline positions, and Ukrainian drones are trying to pick them off. Two attempts at reconnecting with other forces to the northwest failed with casualties.

Meanwhile, due to the complicated situation for Ukraine and the disruption of their supply routes, Russia was able to enter the northern part of Varachyne relatively unopposed and consolidate in the houses there. Attempts are now underway to establish control over the rest of the village. Other forces advanced west of Varachyne, capturing new treeline positions on the tactical heights.

In the east, following earlier unsucessful attacks and consolidation attempts, Russian forces resumed assault operations in the village of Yunakivka and recaptured positions in the southern part of the village. They are now consolidating and attempting to accumulate additional infantry in order to establish control over the last parts of the village.

+ ~3.97 km² in favour of Russia.

In the Velykyi Burluk direction, Russian forces continued to advance towards the Verkhnya Dvurichkova River, capturing additional positions on the tactical heights.

In the southeast, after entering the large forest southeast of Dvorichanske, Russian forces were able to advance further north and establish full control over it, entrenching on the edge of the tactical heights. They then went on to capture further positions in the forested areas to the north, while other forces established control over the forests and treelines on the tactical heights to the east and northeast. Additionally, the Russians captured a small forest northeast of Dvorichanske, further approaching the village from this direction.

To the northwest, following earlier advances on the flanks, Russian forces improved their positions along a treeline west of Odradne, before securing the northern end of the adjacent gulley, largely levelling the frontline in this sector.

+ ~12.39 km² in favour of Russia.

In the Kupyansk direction, Russian forces continued to advance in Kupyansk, while Ukrainian forces are attempting to counterattack at several different points.

In the northeastern part of Kupyansk, after establishing a foothold in the first blocks of the city and accumulating additional infantry, Russian forces advanced further south towards the highway. They captured the rest of the high-rise buildings and a significant portion of the low-rise residential areas. They also entered the eastern industrial zone and captured the Kupyansk Railway Station.

In the southern part of Kupyansk, Russian forces continued widening their spearhead to Sadove. They pushed southwest from the Yuvileynyi high-rise micro-district and captured new parts of the southern low-rise residential area.

Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces began attempts at counterattacking in the eastern residential area and industrial zone, slowing the Russian advance towards the southeastern neighbourhoods. They are also attacking through the grey-zone towards the market and city centre. On the western side of the city, the Ukrainians are attempting to infiltrate the residential areas in the grey zone where Russia hasn't consolidated in yet, while other forces continued their attacks from Moskovka and the forests southwest of Radkivka. No Ukrainian advances have been confirmed yet.

+ ~5.04 km² in favour of Russia.

In the Borova direction, Russian forces continued to advance towards the village of Novoplatonivka, and have captured new positions on the tactical heights.

After capturing the treelines and forest plantations northwest of Borivska Andriivka, Russian forces advanced further down the tactical heights, capturing positions in two treelines to the west. Other forces advanced west down a third treeline, reaching a gulley.

+ ~1.82 km² in favour of Russia.
