Details: Aviation of Ukraine’s defence forces carried out four strikes on clusters of Russian military personnel, weapons and equipment.
Ukraine’s Rocket Forces and Artillery struck two command posts and four clusters of Russian manpower and equipment in one day.
The occupiers did not rule out their plans to reach the administrative border of Donetsk Oblast. They focused their main efforts on supporting the offensive potential and replenishing losses.
In order to put pressure on the population of Ukraine, the invaders launched air and missile attacks, as well as shelled critical infrastructure facilities and settlements in Ukraine, violating international humanitarian law and laws and customs of warfare.
Over the past day, the Russians carried out 8 airstrikes and fired 18 times from multiple-launch rocket systems. The threat of Russians launching air and missile strikes on critical infrastructure facilities throughout the entire Ukraine remains.
The occupiers kept concentrating their efforts on conducting offensive operations on the Bakhmut front, trying to gain complete control over Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts. The Russian invaders tried to improve their tactical position on the Lyman and Avdiivka fronts, and enhanced their units on the Novopavlivka front with the units transferred from the Kherson front.
The situation remained unchanged on the Volyn, Polissia, Sivershchyna and Slobozhanshchyna fronts. The Russians kept their military presence in the border areas of Belarus and Russia. No signs of forming offensive groups were detected.
The Russians used their entire spectrum of artillery to attack the settlements of Strilecha, Krasne, Zelene, Ternova, Starytsia, Ohirtseve, Vovchansk, Karaichne, Okhrimivka and Ambarne in Kharkiv Oblast.
On all other fronts, the invaders are on the defensive, focusing on deterring the Armed Forces of Ukraine and attacking positions of the Ukrainian troops, as well as civilian facilities along the entire line of contact.
On the Kupiansk and Lyman fronts, areas of 14 settlements came under fire from mortars, tubed and rocket artillery. This refers to Novomlynsk, Tavilzhanka, Dvorichna, Kupiansk, Kotliarivka, Tabaivka and Pershotravneve in Kharkiv Oblast; Makiivka, Ploshchanka and Dibrova in Luhansk Oblast.
On the Bakhmut and Avdiivka fronts, the Russians used tanks and various types of artillery to fire at the positions of the Ukrainian forces and more than 20 vicinities, including Spirne, Bilohorivka, Yakovlivka, Soledar, Bakhmut, Klishchiivka, Vodiane and Marinka in Donetsk Oblast.
On the Novopavlivka front, the occupiers fired from tanks, mortars, tubed and rocket artillery on Vremivka, Velyka Novosilka, Neskuchne, Vuhledar and Mykilske in Donetsk Oblast.
On the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson fronts, the invaders attacked the positions of the Ukrainian troops using tanks and artillery of all sorts in areas in and around 25 settlements. They also kept firing at civilian infrastructure facilities of cities, towns and villages along the right (west) bank of the Dnipro River. Infrastructure in Kherson, Molodizhne, Antonivka and Beryslav in Kherson Oblast came under artillery fire.
