Russian forces launched a new offensive in northeastern Ukraine, targeting the city of Kharkiv and advancing towards Vovchansk. The attacks have led to rapid gains, with Russian troops capturing several settlements and pushing into Ukrainian territory. The goal appears to be diverting Ukrainian forces from the Donbas region and breaking through their defenses. Meanwhile, Russian forces have also made marginal gains in southeastern Ukraine and accused Ukrainian shelling of killing civilians in the Belgorod region of Russia. The situation remains tense, with the potential for increased fighting as Russian forces approach more populated areas. Evacuations and military reinforcements are underway as Ukrainian forces seek to defend against the advancing Russian troops.
