Frontline report

Russian forces conduct intense and costly assaults on Vodyane, underscoring their continued reliance on high-risk strategies in achieving strategic objectives.

Ukrainian forces are encircling Russian troops in two strategic locations in the Kursk Oblast, creating so-called "cauldrons" in Malaya Loknya and Martynovka. These encirclements have isolated substantial Russian formations, cutting off their supply lines and setting the stage for intense clashes.

Russian Armed Forces have set themselves the objective of capturing the Ukrainian town of Borova and reach the Oskil River in the east of Ukraine. However, the Ukrainian Third Assault Brigade conducted a preventive strike on the Russian forces.

After failing to take Ukrainian forces into a pocket, Russian forces resorted to bombing their way through the settlement.

After conducting mechanized assaults, Russians occupied part of a small forest in front of this town in Donetsk Oblast.
