Azov Sea: 4ships, including 0 cruise missile carriers; the total salvo is 0 cruise missiles.
Mediterranean Sea: 2 ships, including 2 cruise missile carriers; the total salvo is 24 cruise missiles.
Changes in the enemy disposition:
The command of the enemy's "Sever (North)" Operational Grouping is trying to regroup towards Lyptsi and within Vovchansk, preparing the 153rd Motorized Rifle Regiment of the 47th Tank Division of the 1st Tank Army and the 138th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade of the 6th Combined Arms Army for attacks in the Vovchansk area.
Units of the 1486th Motorized Regiment of Mobilization Reserve operate near Lyman Pershyi.
A detachment of the 208th “Akhmat” Special Police Regiment operates near Ozaryanivka. Units of the 1442nd Motorized Rifle Regiment of the 6th Motorized Rifle Division of the 3rd Army Corps and the "Espanola" Volunteer Brigade are active on the Chasiv Yar direction.
In the area of Urozhaine, combat operations continue with the 37th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade, the 5th Separate Tank Brigade, the 30th Artillery Brigade of the 36th Combined Arms Army, and the 40th Separate Marines Brigade of the Pacific Fleet.
Possible operation situation developments:
On the Kupyansk direction, in the operational zone of the 1st Tank Army, command of the enemy's "Zapad (West)" Operational Grouping will attempt to reach the Oskil River in the Hlushkivka – Zahryzove sector, the Petropavlivka – Kurylivka line, and storm Kupiansk-Vuzlovyi railway junction. This assumption is supported he enemy's increased activity specifically on the flanks (Synkivka – Petropavlivka and Pishchane – Kolisnykivka directions). To bind the “Khortytsia" OSG forces, the enemy will exert frontal pressure on their positions in the Stepova Novoselivka area.
The enemy has completed the formation of a tactical group consisting of the 252nd Motorized Rifle Regiment, 237th Tank Regiment of the 3rd Motorized Rifle Division, 283rd Motorized Rifle Regiment, and 59th Tank Regiment of the 144th Motorized Rifle Division. This group will soon attempt to seize the crossing over the Chornyi Zherebets River in Makiivka and attack the positions of the Ukrainian Defense Forces units in Nevske from the areas of Makiivka and Chervonopopivka.
The following units will attack through the wooded area of Chasiv Yar with assault groups: the 200th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade of the 14th Army Corps will advance from the Kalynivka area, while the 98th Airborne Division will move between the T0504 Kostyantynivka–Bakhmut highway and the "Novyi" neighborhood, with part of its forces in the "Zhovtnevyi" neighborhood. Their actions will begin with the capture of Kalynivka and securing control over the intersection of the Siversky Donets–Donbas canal and the T0504 highway.
