The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) destroyed two bridges in the Belgorod region, located near the villages of Grafovka and Nadezhevka. According to preliminary data, American HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems were used for the attack, which is confirmed by sources close to the Russian military. These strikes were part of the enemy's strategy aimed at disrupting the logistics of Russian troops in the border zone, where the tense situation has been ongoing for a week. The main focus of hostilities is concentrated around the village of Demidovka, although, as the military reports, Russian forces have not yet allowed the presence of Ukrainian units directly in the settlement itself. Such data are cited by MASH.

According to operational reports, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are attempting to isolate the combat zone by destroying key infrastructure facilities. The destruction of bridges in Grafovka and Nadezhevka significantly complicates the transfer of reinforcements and supplies for Russian troops, but border units continue to hold their positions. In the Demidovka area, the enemy has intensified offensive actions, accumulating reserves and trying to break through the defense. Nevertheless, Russian border guards and military formations are successfully repelling attacks, preventing the Ukrainian Armed Forces from gaining a foothold in the border settlements.

According to military analysts, the Ukrainian side's losses in the Demidovka area in recent days have amounted to between 300 and 500 people. These figures indicate a high intensity of fighting. Russian troops are actively using artillery and aviation to suppress the enemy's offensive actions, which allows them to maintain control over the situation. Despite the accumulation of reserves by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, their attempts to capture at least one settlement in the Belgorod Region have not yet been successful.
