Ukraine's border guards retake over 10 square kilometers on Pivdenno-Slobozhanskyi front

On October 3, Ukraine's State Border Guard Service announced that its Forpost brigade had reclaimed over 10 square kilometers of territory on the Pivdenno-Slobozhanskyi front, the agency's press service reported. The Forpost brigade had taken control of the defense sector in the area back in June. During their time in combat operations, the unit reported the deaths of 118 Russian soldiers and the capture of seven more.

In a statement on September 4, State Border Guard Service spokesperson Andrii Demchenko revealed that Russian forces had attempted to probe Ukrainian defenses in the Vovchansk municipality of Kharkiv Oblast for nearly a week. Russian troops launched an attack on Ukrainian positions in a bid to expand their area of control. Demchenko further stated that the Russian army has maintained an active presence in the Vovchansk municipality since the beginning of the year, with particular focus on Dihtiarne, but has not made substantial gains during that period.
