According to the General Staff of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, the enemy did not take active action in the Volyn and Polissya directions.
There is a threat that the enemy will launch missile strikes on military and civilian infrastructure located in Ukraine from the territory of the Republic of Belarus, as well as provocations in areas near the state border of Ukraine, accusing our defense units.
In the Siversk direction, the enemy fired on Ukrainian positions near the village of Senkivka. To identify the positions of our troops in the Sumy direction, the enemy conducted air reconnaissance using UAVs.
In the future, demonstration actions along the state border of Ukraine, as well as the resumption of fire damage to our units and infrastructure in the border areas in this direction are not excluded.

The russian occupiers unsuccessfully stormed the settlements of Ozerne and Marinka. The enemy also suffered losses in the area of the settlements of Vremivka and Zelene Pole.
In the South Buh direction, the enemy is fighting with the forces of certain units in order to reach the administrative borders of the Kherson region and create favorable conditions for the attack on Mykolayiv and Kryvyi Rih.
The occupiers focused their main efforts on the Kryvyi Rih direction. They fired artillery at the positions of our units in the Tavriysky, Osokorivka, Trudolyubivka and Knyazivka districts.
In the Mykolayiv direction the enemy carries out regrouping of divisions. In order to clarify the situation and identify the positions of our units, the enemy conducted air reconnaissance with the involvement of UAVs in the eastern part of Mykolayiv and the north-western part of Kherson regions.
"Russian occupiers continue illegal actions against Ukrainian citizens in the temporarily occupied territories. They hinder the free movement of our citizens to the russian-occupied territory of Ukraine. The invaders also continue to try to form a system of so-called power in the temporarily occupied territories. We call on the citizens to continue their total resistance to the occupiers," the statement said.
