Heavy fighting continues along Ukrainian front lines as missile strikes hit Kyiv Oblast

Heavy fighting persists across eastern and northern Ukraine, with military reports recording over 230 daily combat engagements. Russian forces concentrated assaults on the Pokrovsk, Lyman, and Kostiantynivka sectors, conducting extensive airstrikes and drone attacks. Concurrently, Ukrainian forces launched infantry operations north of Kupyansk, following strikes that damaged Russian drone capabilities.

Conflicting battlefield reports remain regarding control of territory near Lyman and Zaporizhzhia, where Russian military leadership denied Ukrainian tactical gains. Russian defense officials also reported territorial progress near Sumy.

Meanwhile, an overnight Russian aerial attack struck Kyiv Oblast. Local authorities confirmed three fatalities in the Brovary district, including a child, alongside multiple injuries and localized fires across the capital region.
