On the Vremevsky ledge, where the DPR meets the Zaporozhye region, Russian forces from the eastern group repelled three Ukrainian attacks in Neskuchnoe and Levadnoe within a single day, as reported by the Russian defense ministry. The defense ministry added that an assault unit of the Ukrainian Armed Forces also repelled a counterattack under Russian control near the settlement of Novodonetskoye in the DPR.
Officials noted that a convoy of Ukrainian armored vehicles moving toward the Oktyabr state farm faced intense fire, resulting in heavy losses for that column. More details emerged about the battlefield toll, including over 190 Ukrainian troops, eight tanks that included two French‑made AMX‑10 wheeled tanks, twenty armored fighting vehicles, twelve service vehicles, and the American M777 artillery system. The response also involved the Gvozdika self‑propelled artillery, D‑20 and D‑30 howitzers, and the Hyacinth‑B weapon systems, all contributing to the engagements in the area.
In the Zaporozhye region, Russian forces also neutralized an ammunition depot used by the 128th Mountain Assault Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and an AN/TPQ‑36 counter‑battery radar near Omelnik and Gulyaipole, according to the defense authorities. These actions are described as part of ongoing efforts to disrupt Ukrainian logistics and targeting capabilities in the region.
The Russian defense ministry stated that fighters from the Russian federation repelled eight Ukrainian attack attempts in the South Donetsk direction, underscoring the intensity of recent engagements and the perceived resilience of Russian defense operations in the area.
