??Operational information of the past 24h as of September 13, 2024 regarding the Russian invasion.

In the past 24 hours, Ukraine's defenders have once again demonstrated resilience and strength, pushing back Russian forces across multiple fronts. The war continues to demand intense focus and determination from Ukraine's military, as Russian aggression remains relentless, but Ukrainian forces have held firm, repelling the enemy's advances.

During this period, 105 combat engagements were recorded, highlighting the persistent nature of the Russian assault. In response, Ukraine’s aviation, missile forces, and artillery executed 32 strikes on Russian positions, dealing significant blows to the enemy's capabilities. Among the destroyed assets were six air defense systems, three artillery guns on active firing positions, a radio-electronic warfare station, two remote mining systems, and two other key military installations. These precision strikes not only cripple the enemy’s ability to sustain their offensive operations but also signal Ukraine’s continued ability to target critical military infrastructure, even under heavy pressure.

The Kharkiv Front

In the Kharkiv sector, Russian forces attempted three assaults near Hatyshche, Lypsti, and Tykhyi. These actions were repelled with precision by Ukrainian forces, who successfully held their defensive lines. Despite the enemy’s continued efforts to break through, Ukrainian troops remain steadfast, ensuring that Kharkiv holds strong against the Russian push.

Kupiansk Sector

On the Kupiansk front, the situation remains tense, with Russian forces mounting 16 attacks. Ukrainian defenders stood firm, thwarting enemy advances near Lozova, Synkivka, Glushkivka, Stelmakhivka, and Andriivka. These areas remain critical to both sides, as control of Kupiansk would allow further advances, but Ukraine’s forces have shown no signs of yielding despite repeated waves of Russian aggression.
