Active strikes on military targets in Ukrainian-controlled territories continue. After the announcement of the destruction of the largest fuel storage facility in the Dnepropetrovsk region, used in the interests of the Ukrainian armed forces, as well as on the strikes on military targets in Kharkov, Ochakov and Voznesensk receives information about the fire impact on the objects of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and nationalist battalions near the city of Chuguev, Kharkiv region.
In this area, Ukrainian troops tried to increase their concentration, which was quite consistent with the statements of Ukrainian media personalities about “a possible counteroffensive in the Kharkiv direction”.
Chuguev is located southeast of Kharkov. From this direction, the enemy could try to attack towards Izyum, and also to the east - towards the southern shore of the Pechenegsky reservoir.
After the strikes by Russian troops on the objects of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Chuguev area, high columns of smoke rise there. Detonation and fire reported.
Against this background, there are reports that, that the Armed Forces of Ukraine tried to advance in the direction of Balakleya. This city is also located in the Kharkiv region, controlled by the Russian army. Balakleya is located on the direction Kharkiv - Izyum and Kharkiv - Barvenkovo. Ukrainian resources write about, that in the direction of Balakleya fighting began, running guns.
As it appears, the enemy is making attempts to advance on Balakleya, then to try to cut off Russian troops in Izyum and near Barvenkovo. In this situation, Russian military aviation can play a big role., as it was a few days ago during another adventure of the Kyiv regime - an attempt to attack Kherson.
