Heavy fighting has been reported in Kupyansk as Russian forces push into the city. The frontline in the Kupyansk sector remains difficult to ascertain, with Russian reconnaissance and sabotage groups (DRGs) advancing deeper into Kupyansk and its eastern outskirts. However, little consolidation of territory has occurred, as Ukrainian defenders frequently revert any gains made by Russian forces.
Russian troops have established a presence in the northernmost houses and apartment blocks of Kupyansk, leading to intense combat within the city itself. The situation continues to evolve as both sides engage in ongoing clashes.
