Russian assault groups attacked the positions of the Defense Forces in Vovchansk - in the Kharkiv direction, as well as in the areas of Zahryzovyi, Zelenyi Hai, and Dvurična - in the Kupiansk direction. The attacks were repelled, the enemy suffered losses, and retreated.

In the Siversky direction, enemy assault groups unsuccessfully attempted to attack the positions of the Defense Forces in Bilohorivka. To move personnel for offensive actions, Russian troops used motorcycles. The Russians were eliminated while approaching the deployment line.
