Heavy fighting continues around Kupyansk in the Kharkov region, according to military sources. Russian units are increasing pressure along the line, while Ukrainian forces are offering stiff resistance. The situation across several sectors of the front remains unstable and can shift rapidly.

Reports indicate that Russian troops have achieved limited tactical gains on the northern flank. Assault units of the Russian Armed Forces have moved into the eastern part of the village of Tishchenkovka and managed to entrench themselves there, expanding the area under their control by more than one kilometer.

Sources say intense combat is ongoing on both the western and eastern banks of the Oskol River in the Kupyansk sector. North of the city, footage has emerged showing Russian positions on the eastern outskirts of Tishchenkovka, while Ukrainian forces have been recorded operating in the area of Kondrashovka.

Russian forces are also conducting active assault operations on the eastern bank of the Oskol, near Kurilovka. Newly released video materials point to the presence of Russian units in the northern part of the settlement. At the same time, attempts continue to seize the major railway hub of Kupyansk-Uzlovoy, a key logistical node supporting Ukrainian forces in the area.

Kupyansk remains one of the most critical directions for both sides. The line of contact here is highly blurred, with Russian and Ukrainian units sometimes operating within the same settlements at the same time.

Military observers note that the Kupyansk sector is increasingly saturated with conflicting reports, largely because both sides maintain a presence in overlapping areas. On the eastern bank of the Oskol, Russian troops are reported to be pressing assaults around Kurilovka.

It is also noted that Russian infantry often operates in small groups, using fog to advance covertly. Unmanned aerial vehicles are being actively employed by both sides, playing a significant role in the ongoing battles.
