Ukrainian forces in the Kupiansk sector of Kharkiv region destroyed or damaged 600 russian underground shelters, nine ammunition depots, and eight makeshift river crossings. These precision strikes were part of a broader strategy to prevent the enemy from establishing a presence on the right bank of the Oskil River. The operation, carried out by air assault troops and specialized units, aimed to disrupt Russia's attempts to expand its foothold across the Oskil River. Ukrainian forces eliminated 49 howitzers and cannons, 17 vehicles and motorcycles, three boats, two artillery systems, and two tanks. 439 invaders were killed or wounded during the operation, while six were captured
