Quote: "On the Pivdennyi Buh front, however, the enemy is focusing its primary efforts on preventing the advance of our troops. Enemy attacks were recorded near Osokorivka, Trudoliubivka, Pervomaiske, Yavkyne, Novohryhorivka, Kavkaz, Novomykolaivka, Kotliareve, Poliana, Tavriiske and Mykolaiv. Ukrainian defenders are holding their own.

Outside the bases, the enemy holds three high-precision weapons carriers. We urge you not to ignore the air raid alerts.

The invaders launched an airstrike near Andriivka. After that, they tried to move toward the Sukhyi Stavok – Andriivka and the Bruskinske – Bilohirka axes. But our soldiers did not give the enemy any chance of success. The enemy suffered losses and retreated chaotically."

Details: On the Sloviansk front, attacks were recorded near Velyka Komyshuvakha, Hrushuvakha, Krasnopillia, Virnopillia, Dolyna, Chervona Poliana, Karnaukhivka and Dibrovne.

The invaders mounted assaults to try to establish control of the village of Bohorodychne. And again, traditionally, without any success.

On the Kramatorsk front, Russian forces fired barrel and rocket artillery in the areas of the settlements of Kryva Luka, Siversk, Hryhoriivka, Verkhnokamianske, Ivano-Dariivka and Spirne.

Ukrainian soldiers have once again repelled assaults by the aggressors along the Verkhnokamianka – Verkhnokamianske and the Bilohorivka – Verkhnokamianske axes. The invaders sustained losses and withdrew.

On the Bakhmut front, the Russian forces fired on Ukrainian troops near Berestove, Bilohorivka, Nova Kamianka, Pokrovske, Bakhmut, Vesela Dolyna, Zaitseve, Travneve and New-York. In addition, they carried out an airstrike near Bakhmut.

The Russians’ clumsy attempts to improve their tactical positions along the Volodymyrivka – Bakhmutske and the Dolomitne – Novoluganske axes ended with significant losses and retreat. The invaders are losing personnel but continue stubbornly to try to establish control over the territory of the Vuhlehirska Thermal Power Plant. Fighting continues. Heavy fighting also continues along the Rota – Semyhiria axis.

On the Avdiivka, Novopavlivsk and Zaporizhzhia fronts, systematic shelling of civilian infrastructure continues around the settlements of Avdiivka, Opytne, Pisky, Krasnohorivka, Novomykhailivka, Pavlivka, Zaliznychne, Charivne, Novoandriivka and Stepnohirsk. In some areas, the Russian invaders are also conducting aerial reconnaissance with UAVs.

On the Volyn, Polissia and Sivershchyna fronts the situation has not changed significantly. The invaders shelled the areas of the village of Hai in Chernihiv Oblast and the villages of Hudove, Bilopillia and Stari Vyrky in Sumy Oblast.

On the Kharkiv front, the enemy inflicted fire damage from barrel and rocket artillery in the areas of the settlements of Kharkiv, Ruski Tyshky, Staryi Saltiv, Prudianka, Rubizhne, Tsyrkuni, Bazaliivka, Slatine, Derhachi, Cherkaski Tyshky, Blahodatne, Udy, Pryshyb and Pytomnyk. They carried out airstrikes near Verkhnii Saltiv and Mospanove.
