Quote: "The enemy has had partial success in the areas of the settlements of Komyshuvakha and Roty.
On the northwestern outskirts of the village of Toshkivka, Ukrainian soldiers successfully repulsed an enemy assault.
The Russian occupying forces have not taken any action on the Sloviansk front, trying to gain a foothold on the borders already controlled. The main focus of the aggressors is to replenish stocks and regroup units. They carried out artillery shelling along the frontline.
In the area of the town of Dolyna, artillery units of the Defence Forces of Ukraine inflicted fire damage on the concentration of invaders’ personnel and military equipment. Details about the losses sustained by the Russian army are being clarified.
On the Sievierodonetsk front, the occupiers carried out assault operations in the city of Sievierodonetsk using artillery units, but they were unsuccessful. Fighting continues in the area".
Details: On the Bakhmut front, Russian troops launched a missile strike on Kramatorsk. The occupiers conducted air reconnaissance near Nahirne to identify deployment routes and weaknesses in the line of defence of Ukrainian units. In particular, aggressors’ drones were recorded in the sky over Kramatorsk and Pokrovsk.
In the Mykolaiv and the Kherson regions, the Russian occupying forces are strengthening their defensive lines, firing from multiple rocket launcher systems and artillery.
The Russian army continues to fire on Ukrainian defenders in the north of Kharkiv.
In the Chernihiv and Sumy regions, mortar and small arms shelling of border areas continues. The occupiers are also conducting reconnaissance with drones.
There are no significant changes on the Lyman, Avdiivka, Kurakhove, Novopavlivka or Zaporizhzhia fronts.
Ukrainian military intelligence notes that units of the Belarusian army continue to be located on the northern borders of Ukraine with Belarus. On a rotating basis, Belarusian servicemen continue to carry out tasks to cover border areas in Brest and Gomel oblasts.
Local residents are not allowed to enter the forests in the border area, to prevent the revelation of the location of Belarusian military equipment and personnel.
Measures are being taken to recruit volunteers for the so-called "people's militia" of Belarus. Local residents are being summoned to the military commissariats, where they are persuaded to create these formations.
Previously: As of the morning of 9 June, the Russian occupiers have lost 31,700 troops, nearly 1,400 tanks, more than 3,400 armoured combat vehicles and more than 560 drones.
