Two clashes took place in that area yesterday. Two more clashes are also ongoing today.

What is known about other successes of the Ukrainian military in the Kharkiv region
According to the officer of the intelligence department of the "Rubizh" brigade of NSU, Vitaliy Lytvyn, on the air of the telethon, the fighters of the 3rd Ukrainian Armed Forces carried out a planned offensive in the Kharkiv region.
They took over company and platoon strongholds, as we can see in the video. In that direction, the enemy is also carrying out assault operations, but at this stage it is not successful, because it can attract reserves from these directions - they are the closest to Kurshchyna. They will conduct assault, defensive, etc. operations there, Lytvyn stressed.
The military noted that the Russian occupiers are continuing their attacks in the Lyptsi district of Kharkiv Oblast.
The enemy this week carried out assaults on our units, but this was in the nature of holding back our reserves, so that we would not throw them into areas of more active fighting. The use of operational-tactical aviation has significantly decreased in the direction of Lyptsi. A month ago, the enemy dropped 20 anti-tank missiles on Liptsi alone, now it's several anti-aircraft guns per day, Lytvyn stressed.
Instead, the occupiers are more actively storming the positions of the Defense Forces in the Vovchansk region. According to Lytvyn, the situation there, although more complicated, is controlled.
We understand that the enemy can attract operational-tactical aviation and reserves from the territory of the Russian Federation precisely in Kurshchyna, - adds the military man.
