The operational situation on the Kharkiv front remains challenging without significant changes. The Russian army conducted measures to restore the combat readiness of the Shtorm detachment's assault groups.

As reported by Ukrinform, the press service of the Kharkiv Operational and Tactical Group stated this on Telegram.

“In Vovchansk, the enemy undertook activities to restore the combat readiness of the Shtorm assault groups. To compensate for recent losses, there were isolated movements of personnel, along with deliveries of medical supplies and provisions.”

Additionally, near Hlyboke, in anticipation of assault operations by the Ukrainian Defense Forces, the enemy prepared fire and anti-tank systems to full combat readiness. In the area around Murom, the Russian forces attempted reconnaissance to find more advantageous positions for their units.

During the past day, five combat clashes occurred in the areas of Starytsia and Vovchansk. The Russian forces launched five airstrikes, employing ten guided bombs, and carried out 55 kamikaze drone attacks. They also conducted 401 artillery attacks on the Ukrainian defenders’ positions.
