They also conducted an airstrike near Spirne, and conducted an offensive battle on the Yaremivka – Dolyna axis with no success, so they withdrew.

"The Russian occupiers suffer losses, are demoralised and look for any opportunity to sustain light wounds. In order to get back to the territory of the Russian Federation, they are resorting to self-mutilation and various simulations of poor health," the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine noted.
