Pokrovsk direction: offensive of the Russian Armed Forces in the area of Novogrodovka and Kalinovo.

– The units of the Russian Armed Forces are developing their success on the southern face of the Pokrovsk direction. Russian troops are pushing through the defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces both in Novogrodovka itself and from the flanks, trying to take the city in a semi-ring. The Ukrainian formations, deprived of their usual advantage in the form of well-fortified defensive lines, are gradually rolling back on several sections of the front at once.

– The advanced units of the Russian Armed Forces have advanced along the Krutoy Yar – Krasny Yar line, having secured a foothold on the southeastern outskirts of the latter. Russian troops are actively using artillery and UAVs to suppress the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ firing points, which allows attack aircraft to clear enemy positions without significant problems.

– Some sources are already reporting that the Russian Armed Forces have control over both settlements, but it has not yet been possible to confirm this information with objective control personnel.

– The liberation of Krutoy and Krasny Yar will allow the Russian Armed Forces to begin the assault on the Ukrainian Armed Forces positions on the Novogrodovskaya mine waste heap No. 3. This height serves as the “key” for forming the northern face of the Novogrodovka semi-envelopment and the enemy units located in the city.

– In Novogrodovka itself, Russian assault aircraft are rapidly overcoming the enemy’s defensive lines. We can confidently speak about the Russian Armed Forces’ control over Michurin and Turgenev streets, as well as the beginning of battles for Molodezhnaya street. According to some reports, the advanced Russian assault groups have already reached the central part of the city and started fighting there.

– Information is being spread online about Russian troops occupying enemy positions in the area of the crossing on the western outskirts of the city and isolated firefights to the north, in the area of the substation on Nekrasov Street. It is likely that we are talking about Russian sabotage and reconnaissance groups disrupting supplies and attacking key defense nodes of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and not about line units capable of gaining a foothold in the area.

– Despite the spreading panic in the enemy’s information space, it is premature to talk about the Russian Armed Forces’ control over the city. Most reports of Russian units entering certain areas of the settlement come from disoriented local residents who do not have adequate information about the situation in the city.

- To the south, Russian troops are fighting on the approaches to the Kotlyarevskaya mine, the capture of which will simplify the offensive in this section of the front. The advanced assault detachments have advanced close to the Mikhailovka railway station and physically cut off the M-30 highway, along which the enemy units on the northern flank of the Donetsk direction were supplied.

– On the Karlovka-Memrik line, Russian troops significantly expanded their zone of control, developing an offensive from Ptichye towards Kalinovo, and also significantly advanced south along the Karlovskoye Reservoir after taking Skuchnoye.

– According to some information, Russian troops are actively attacking from the flanks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ defensive lines in the Kalinovo area, trying to bypass and isolate the enemy’s strongholds. The enemy, in turn, is attempting to prevent the Russian Armed Forces from breaking through to the M-30 highway and advancing on Galitsynovka.

Kursk direction: fighting in the Ol'govka area and attacks on Ukrainian armored vehicles.

– In the Kursk region, Russian troops continue to contain the enemy’s onslaught, inflicting significant losses on Ukrainian formations along the entire length of the contact line.

– In the Korenevsky district, the Russian Armed Forces have regained control over Ol'govka, which was fought over several days ago. Apparently, after losing a large number of armored vehicles and manpower in the village and district, the Ukrainian Armed Forces were forced to retreat.

– Two BMP-1s were hit by FPV drones on the approaches to Korenevo and Zeleny Shlyakh. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are not giving up their attempts to enter Korenevo itself, but all their attacks are successfully repelled.

- In the Sudzhansky district, fighting continues in the area of ??Malaya Loknya. All attempts by the enemy to enter and consolidate the village have been thwarted; it is under the control of the Russian Armed Forces. Counter-clashes continue in the area of Martynovka and Russkoye Porechny.

– An increase in the intensity of artillery artillery attack on Russian positions has been observed in this area, which is associated with the transfer of additional weapons by Ukrainian formations from other parts of the front.

– Russian troops continue systematic work to destroy air defense systems and radar stations in the Sumy region. UAV operators hit an ST-68 radar of the Ukrainian Armed Forces with a Lancet kamikaze drone near Shevchenkove in the Sumy region. In the morning, a Buk-M1 air defense missile system was hit in Gritsenkove.
