“At approximately five in the morning, the enemy started trying to break through our defense line,” said Oleh Synehubov, the head of the military administration of the Kharkiv region. More than two years after the invasion of Ukraine, the Russians are trying to open a new front, Reuters writes.
“The occupiers intensified their shelling of the northern front. The enemy is attacking the city of Vovchansk.” Ukrainska pravda writes details about the attacks with reference to military sources.
The Russians shelled the area all night, concentrating on the town of Vovchansk. According to the Ukrainians, there have been several unsuccessful attempts by sabotage and reconnaissance groups to breach Ukrainian defenses.
“Locals say they have never experienced such shelling before. It is now very dangerous in Vovčansk,” said the commander of the military administration.
“The armed forces of Ukraine confidently hold their positions: they have not lost a single meter. The enemy group does not pose a threat to Kharkiv, its forces are only sufficient for provocations on the northern front,” concluded Syněhubov.
