Russian troops were trying to gain a foothold on the right bank of the Oskil River near Novomlynsk, Kupyansk district.
According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the enemy had a superiority in forces and even managed to cross the water barrier.
However, Ukrainian defenders, with the support of artillery and UAV units, knocked out the enemy, eliminating the occupiers’ bridgehead. Today, the right bank of the Oskol is under full control of the Defense Forces, and the Ukrainian flag is flying over Novomlynsk.
Soldiers of the 8th separate assault battalion of the 10th separate mountain assault brigade “Edelweiss” were engaged in the clearing of Novomlynsk.
