Details: Russian forces are continuing to mount an offensive on the Bakhmut and Avdiivka fronts and are extensively using air defence systems to cover the actions of their troops. The Russians are using UAVs to conduct extensive aerial reconnaissance. In addition, Russian troops are attempting to improve their logistical support.

Over the course of the past 24 hours, the Russians conducted over 10 missile strikes and over 24 airstrikes on military and civilian targets across the territory of Ukraine. Civilian infrastructure in and around Peremoha, Husarivka, Novomykhailivka and Bilohiria sustained damage.

There is an ongoing threat of extensive systematic Russian airstrikes and missile strikes on military and critical infrastructure targets across the entire territory of Ukraine.

Due to a shortage of high-precision missiles, the Russians are increasingly deploying outdated anti-aircraft guided missiles used in S-300 missile systems. Russia has already launched over 500 of those missiles [on Ukraine] but only some of those missiles reached their targets. Russia has several thousands of S-300 in its arsenal, though most of them are unusable.

Over the course of the past 24 hours, Russian forces fired on military and civilian infrastructure targets across all fronts using tank guns, combat vehicles and tubed and rocket artillery. In particular, the Russians attacked areas in and around:

• Mykhalchyna Sloboda (Chernihiv Oblast) and Stukalivka (Sumy Oblast) on the Sivershchyna front;
• Kozacha Lopan, Kharkiv, Slatyne, Sosnivka, Udy, Petrivka, Velyki Prokhody, Staryi Saltiv and Andriivka on the Kharkiv front;
• Bohorodychne, Dolyna, Krasnopillia on the Sloviansk front;
• Sloviansk, Siversk, Raihorodok, Donetske, Ivano-Darivka, Vesele on the Kramatorsk front;
• Zaitseve, Bakhmutske, Soledar, Bakhmut, Bilohorivka, Vyimka, Rozdolivka on the Bakhmut front;
• Avdiivka, Novokalynove, Berdychi, Vodiane, Pervomaiske on the Avdiivka front;
• Russian forces did not undertake offensive operations on the Novopavlivka front, but fired on areas in and around Krasnohorivka and Orlivka;
• On the Zaporizhzhia front, the Russians fired on areas in and around Bilohiria, Olhivske, Zelene Pole, Novopil, Novosilka and Vremivka;
• On the Pivdennyi Buh front, Russian forces fired on the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces along the entire line of contact. Russia is attempting to improve the logistical support of its troops in southern Ukraine.

Units of the Ukrainian Defence Forces are maintaining their current positions and preventing Russian troops from advancing further into the territory of Ukraine. They were able to successfully repel Russian attacks in the vicinity of Bohorodychne, Pasika, Dolyna, Bakhmut, Pokrovske, Bakhmutske, Pisky and Pervomaiske.

In order to support ground troops, Ukrainian aircraft conducted six airstrikes which targeted areas where Russian military personnel, military and special equipment, electronic warfare and air defence systems, and logistical support targets were concentrated. Information about the losses suffered by Russian forces as a result of these airstrikes has yet to be confirmed.

Units of Ukrainian missile forces and artillery units of Ukrainian ground troops are continuing to engage in counter-battery fire and to inflict damage on Russian command and control systems and logistical supply systems.

Over the course of the past 24 hours, Ukrainian forces were able to strike a Russian command post and several areas where military equipment and personnel of a Russian tank battalion were concentrated. In addition, they destroyed a Zoopark counter-battery radar system, a Zhytel electronic warfare system and killed a large number of Russian soldiers.
