The Ukrainian Defense Forces have achieved another victory, liberating the village of Novomlynsk in the Kupyanskyi district of Kharkiv region. This was an important step in stabilizing the right bank of the Oskil River, where the Russian occupiers were trying to gain a foothold.
According to the General Staff and the DeepState , the enemy attempted to seize a bridgehead on the right bank of the Oskol River by transferring troops across the river from the village of Dvorichne. Under the cover of artillery, the invaders took up positions, but the Armed Forces of Ukraine successfully counterattacked.
According to the command of the Khortytsia Military District, the operation involved the interaction of infantry, artillery, and drone units. The 8th Separate Assault Battalion of the 10th Mountain Assault Brigade “Edelweiss” played a key role in clearing the area, destroying the remnants of enemy forces.
“The right bank of the Oskol is under the control of the Defense Forces. Ukrainian flags are flying over Novomlynsk,” the report says.
Analysts say the Russian operation was intended to create a bridgehead for a further offensive. However, thanks to the coordinated actions of the Ukrainian military, this plan failed.
Earlier, on November 25, the occupiers unexpectedly crossed the Oskil River by boat. DeepState experts assessed this operation as a tactical risk that initially allowed the enemy to take up positions. However, within a few days, the Ukrainian Armed Forces regained control of the territory.
