Russian infantry units have entered Vovchansk in Kharkiv Oblast, attempting to establish a foothold in the northern part of the town, as confirmed by Defense Ministry spokesperson Dmytro Lazutkin.
With a new offensive launched on May 10 towards the north of Kharkiv Oblast, Russian forces are targeting areas like Lyptsi and Vovchansk, intensifying the conflict in the region.
Despite Ukrainian forces actively fighting off Russian troops using drones and artillery, there have been reports of Russian infantry groups entering Vovchansk, escalating the situation.
Efforts to prevent further advancement by the Russian forces are ongoing, with additional reinforcements being sent to Kharkiv Oblast in response to the heightened hostilities.
The situation in the region has somewhat stabilized, with Ukrainian forces successfully repelling multiple attacks, but the fighting continues in various sectors.
