Quote: "Despite significant losses, enemy troops are continuing to conduct offensive operations on the Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiivka, Marinka and Shakhtarsk fronts. Ukraine’s Defence Forces repelled more than 100 enemy attacks on those fronts over the course of the past 24 hours.

The Russian Federation continues to resort to terror, indiscriminately shelling civilian settlements and thus violating the norms of international humanitarian law.

Over the course of the past 24 hours, enemy forces carried out five missile strikes, including several on civilian infrastructure facilities in Sumy and Donetsk oblasts, killing and injuring civilians. Enemy forces also carried out 35 airstrikes and deployed multiple-launch rocket systems (MLRS) in further attacks 76 times."
