In the Kurakhiv direction, the situation is aggravated, in particular through the blasting of the Ternov Dam, which caused large -scale flooding of settlements nearby. The Kurakhovo military administration confirmed that the water has already filled the villages in the area, and the scale of damage is currently unknown due to intense shelling.
Significant flooding is recorded in the settlements of the Velikovosilkiv community, which creates a danger to the local population. Due to the powerful flow of water, reminiscent of open gateways, it is already a matter of damage to the dam, but it is impossible to provide an accurate assessment of losses.
Among the Ukrainian military, there is an opinion that the blasting of dams organized Russian troops in order to interfere with the Ukrainian army in logistics in Kurakhiv. At the same time, Russian sources accuse Ukrainians, arguing that the blast was carried out to slow down the offensive of Russian troops.
Deep state analysts note that Russian troops continue to actively storm Ukrainian positions in three directions - north, south and east. The enemy tries to cut access to important logistics paths, including H15 highways, which connects Zaporozhye with Donetsk. Fierce battles occur on the outskirts of the city, and Russian units are trying to fix themselves and gradually surround the curakhov.
On the eastern and northern flanks, the enemy exerts constant pressure on Ukrainian positions near the villages of Sunska, Antonivka and Katerynivka. If Russian troops enter the H15 route, it will significantly complicate the defense of the Kurakhov. In case of loss of control of this route, the area around the Kurakhov can become even more dangerous for both the military and civilians.
According to the General Staff, the last day of the Defense of Ukraine reflected 48 attacks on positions near Kurakhov and adjacent settlements. At about 8:00, the enemy activity was reported in the areas of Illinka, the Vozdvizhenka, the Suns and Antonivka. The Donetsk Regional Military Administration was later confirmed that the Ternov dam was damaged by Russian troops, which caused a catastrophic deterioration of the situation in the Kurakhiv direction.
