Ukraine Repels 176 Russian Attacks as Drone Strikes Pause for First Time Since December

Ukrainian forces continue to hold back Russian offensives across multiple sectors, with heavy fighting in Pokrovsk, while missile strikes and guided bombs persist.

Ukrainian forces thwarted 176 Russian attacks in the past 24 hours, including 64 in the Pokrovsk sector, where intense combat continues.
For the first time since December 2024, no Russian drones targeted Ukraine overnight, though missile strikes and guided bombs remain ongoing threats.
Russian forces launched 5,500 shelling attacks, including 120 from multiple rocket systems, and dropped 171 guided aerial bombs on Ukrainian positions in the past day.
Russia’s territorial advances have slowed significantly, with only 240 square kilometers gained in March 2025, reflecting logistical challenges and Ukrainian resistance.
Diplomatic efforts remain stalled as both sides accuse each other of ceasefire violations, complicating prospects for a negotiated resolution.
