According to Ukrinform, this was reported by the 20th Army Corps on Facebook.

“The enemy continues attempts to improve their tactical position. Small groups of invading forces are trying to infiltrate territory controlled by the Defense Forces of Ukraine but have had no success, thanks to timely detection by reconnaissance assets and subsequent destruction by ground forces and drone systems,” the statement reads.

Attempts by Russian forces to advance near Vorone, Ternove, Kalynivske, and Novomykolaivka were stopped through the complete destruction of enemy units by the 20th Army Corps.

“The Defense Forces of Ukraine control the listed settlements and continue conducting defensive operations,” the military emphasized.
