“The situation in the Kupiansk direction remains tense. The city is a strategic target for the enemy. The occupiers had been amassing forces near Radkivka and Holubivka; the gas pipeline is damaged and flooded. Most attempts to cross the Oskil River by boat were destroyed by artillery, mortars, and FPV drones. Small infantry groups are operating, often in civilian clothing. It is yet another war crime of the russian federation”, - reported Operational Command “North”.
It is reported that units of the OC “North” forces, fighting as part of the “North” troop grouping, are conducting counter-sabotage operations, blocking and eliminating the enemy in forests, dacha areas, and on the outskirts of the city. Prisoners testify to the lack of clear combat order among the rashists.
“Combat actions are dynamic — spreading claims of their ‘full control’ is premature”, - the military noted.
