20:29 This morning Russian intelligence officers discovered another division of the S-300PS of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, this time in the area of the village of Koptev (not far from the city of Mirgorod).

The Ukrainian air defense units are unable to protect the airfield, because they cannot even protect themselves. As is tradition, the partially camouflaged base was attacked by an Iskander OTRK, which had the most serious consequences for the Ukrainian air defense system.

19:03 Khar'kov direction. Positional combat actions in Vovchansk –map.

South Donetsk direction: battles near Konstantinovka and advance near Ikryanaya gully.

In addition to the successes near Avdeevka and Gorlovka, Russian troops also managed to advance in several areas of the South Donetsk direction.

To the west of Georgievka, fighting continues on the eastern outskirts of Maksimilyanovka and in the forest belts to the south in the vicinity of the N-15 highway. Further south, in the Pobeda area, units of the Russian Armed Forces carried out several local attacks, occupying forest belts adjacent to the village.

In Praskovyevka and to the north near the Svinyachya gully, no changes in control zones have been observed on either side. Fighting is also underway on the southeastern outskirts of Konstantinovka: assault groups of the Russian Armed Forces have already entered the territory of the settlement, but it is difficult to confirm their consolidation there due to the lack of objective control personnel.

The situation in the area of the Ikryanaya and Shirokaya gullies, as well as the railway, has become clearer: in a few weeks, Russian troops have been able to advance significantly, occupying several large strongholds of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. At the same time, attacks continue, and by now the advance towards the T-05-24 highway may be even greater.

The enemy in this area is not sitting idle and regularly launches counterattacks, including with the use of armored vehicles. At the same time, the area here is very remote from large populated areas, which affects the logistics of both the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the Russian Armed Forces, especially in conditions of high intensity of UAV use.

There are no large-scale actions recorded in the Ugledar area, but footage of airstrikes on high-rises in the enemy-occupied city has begun to appear online again. However, this hardly means preparations for a new assault, since strikes along the entire front line occur daily.

Avdeevka direction: heavy fighting and advance of the Russian Armed Forces in several areas.

In the Avdeevka direction, as a result of several successful attacks, Russian troops have significantly expanded their zone of control in almost all areas of the direction.

In the Novoaleksandrovka area, units of the Russian Armed Forces are breaking through enemy defenses in the direction of Vozdvizhenka along the C050906 highway and Lozovatskoye through fields and forest belts. Although it is too early to talk about storming populated areas, certain successes have already been achieved on the approaches to them.

Between Novoaleksandrovka and Sokol, Russian troops are advancing along the railway, occupying landings to the north and south. The status of stopping point #8 is still unclear: according to some sources, the Russian Armed Forces have already advanced further west to Progress, while according to others, fighting is currently underway for it.

North of Sokol, Russian troops had previously captured a large stronghold and continued moving north, driving the enemy out of the western part of the Samoylovka gully. According to some information, the forest belt to the west is also already under the control of the Russian Armed Forces, but this information has not yet been confirmed.

Sokol itself is under the stable control of the Russian Armed Forces, and clashes are taking place in the eastern part of Yevgenovka. According to some reports, fighting has also broken out on the eastern outskirts of Voskhod. In this area, the enemy is very active and often counterattacks, actively using UAVs.

In the fields between Sokol and Novopokrovskoe, the Russian Armed Forces have also been recorded advancing westward toward the road between Novoselovka Pervaya and Sokol. The advance assault groups have already reached the forest plantations near the highway, but it is not yet clear whether they have managed to gain a foothold there.

South of Novopokrovskoe, Russian troops are fighting their way to the eastern outskirts of Novoselovka Pervaya, both along the O0542 highway and through the fields to the C0518107 highway. North of Umanskoe, the Russian Armed Forces have also managed to advance slightly as a result of a successful attack.

12:55 Around 10.50 Moscow time stopped an attempt by the Kyiv regime to carry out a terrorist attack using an aircraft-type UAV against targets on the territory of the Russian Federation.

A Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicle was destroyed by air defense systems on duty over the territory of the Belgorod region.

12:21 Cartographic results June 2024 in the SVO zone.

Aleksandro-Kalinovskoe direction: advance of the Russian Armed Forces in Novgorodskoye, battles in Druzhba and at the junction of Kirovo-Artemovo.

Russian troops continue to consistently and with heavy fighting break through the defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Dzerzhinsky agglomeration.

In the Druzhba area, after initial successes, they did not go deeper into the urban development and moved north from Magdalinovka station along Sadovaya Street: judging by the footage from the enemy side, the Russian Armed Forces occupied part of the buildings on the street.

To the east, between the outskirts of Druzhba and the pumping station, there is a small ravine, most of which has also been occupied by Russian troops. The positions on the western bank of the Seversky Donets-Donbass Canal are still under the control of Ukrainian formations, but given the tactical situation, they are already in a semi-encirclement.

There have been no assaults by the Russian Armed Forces on the eastern outskirts of Kirovo (Pivnichnoye). This part of the village is a low-rise private sector, which is currently being actively attacked by artillery and aviation. To the east there are fairly large minefields, which are difficult to move through.

Fighting is underway south of Artemovo (Zaliznoye) and Kirovo. Earlier, Russian troops occupied summer houses and a block to the east of Zheleznodorozhnaya Street and Kharkovskaya Street in Artemovo, but new footage confirms the start of fighting in the high-rise buildings on Yuzhnaya and Novaya Streets in Kirovo. The block has already been repeatedly hit, but is still defensible.

The Novgorodskoye area is currently recording the largest advance of the Russian Armed Forces, the result of a week of active assault operations. Russian assault groups have occupied the territory of the Zheleznaya station and also moved along the street of the same name to the east to the cemetery. Neighboring school No. 18 remains under enemy control for now.

To the west of the Krivoy Torets River, the tactically important height 182, as well as the village of Yuryevka, came under the control of Russian troops, which in the long term could significantly worsen the situation of Ukrainian formations in this area.

At the same time, the situation in this area remains difficult: the advance zone is located in a lowland relative to the fields on both sides, and this area itself has been heavily mined since 2014-2015. However, the latter also complicates a counterflank attack from the enemy itself, although its possibility cannot be completely discounted.

11:22 Statement by the head of the press center of the Center group –video.

The Center group of forces continues to carry out combat missions in the area of the special military operation.

With the support of aviation and artillery, the motorized rifle units of the group improved their tactical position and defeated the formations of the 24th, 41st Mechanized brigades, 109th, 129th Territorial Defense brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and two brigades of the National Guard of Ukraine in the areas of Mykhailivka, Novgorodskoye and Toretsk. They repelled six counterattacks of assault groups of the 31st, 47th Mechanized, 95th Airborne Assault brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the assault brigade "Lyut" of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine.

The enemy lost up to 490 servicemen, three tanks and two vehicles. During the counterbattery battle, three 122mm D-30 howitzers and a 100mm MT-12 Rapira anti-tank gun were destroyed by artillery fire.

10:42 Around 9:00 Moscow time stopped an attempt by the Kyiv regime to carry out a terrorist attack using an aircraft-type UAV against targets on the territory of the Russian Federation.
