Quote: "Ukraine’s Rocket Forces and Artillery units struck three Russian command posts, three clusters of the occupiers’ manpower and military equipment, a Russian S-300 air defence system and three ammunition storage points."
Details: Ukrainian aircraft carried out 15 strikes on clusters of Russian military manpower as well as five attacks on Russian anti-aircraft missile system positions over the last 24 hours.
In addition, Ukrainian defenders shot down a Russian Su-25 attack aircraft in the east of the country and an Orlan-10 UAV in the south.
Over the last 24 hours, Russians conducted five missile strikes on the peaceful cities of Kostiantynivka, Kramatorsk and Zaporizhzhia, as well as 12 air strikes. They fired four times using multiple launch rocket systems, hitting civilian infrastructure in Kharkiv, Donetsk and Kherson oblasts particularly.
The Russians continue to focus their main efforts on attempts to occupy Donetsk Oblast within its administrative border and continue to advance on the Bakhmut front. The fiercest fighting continues in the areas of Soledar, Paraskoviivka, Bakhmut and Klishchiivka.
The Russians are conducting unsuccessful offensive actions on the Avdiivka front, and they are trying to improve their tactical position on the Kupiansk and Lyman fronts. On the Novopavlivka, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson fronts, the Russians are on the defensive.
There are no significant changes on the Volyn, Polissia, Sivershchyna and Slobozhanshchyna fronts. No signs of the formation of Russian offensive groups were detected.
On the Sivershchyna and Slobozhanshchyna fronts, Russian forces fired on the settlements of Senkivka and Karpovychi in Chernihiv Oblast; Bachivsk in Sumy Oblast; as well as Strilecha, Zelene, Hatyshche, Vovchansk, Chuhunivka and Ridkodub in Kharkiv Oblast.
On the Kupiansk front, Russian troops fired in and around Synkivka, Orlianka, Kyslivka, Berestove, Ivanivka and Bohyskavka in Kharkiv Oblast; and Stelmakhivka in Luhansk Oblast.
On the Lyman front, Hrekivka, Makiivka, Chervonopopivka and Dibrova in Luhansk Oblast were shelled.
On the Bakhmut front, Russian troops hit the areas in and around Spirne, Bilohorivka, Soledar, Krasna Hora, Pidhorodne, Bakhmut, Klishchiivka, Kurdiumivka, Druzhba and Pivnichne in Donetsk Oblast.
On the Avdiivka front, Krasnohorivka, Avdiivka, Marinka and Novomykhailivka in Donetsk Oblast came under Russian fire.
On the Novopavlivka front, Vuhledar, Prechystivka and Zolota Nyva in Donetsk Oblast were hit.
On the Zaporizhzhia front, areas of Vremivka and Vilne Pole in Donetsk Oblast and Huliaipole, Chervone, Charivne, Mala Tokmachka, Orikhiv and Kamianske in Zaporizhzhia Oblast came under fire.
On the Kherson front, the Russian forces do not stop attacking the settlements along the right bank of the Dnipro River. In particular, Kherson was attacked with mortars.
The Russian occupiers continue to loot the property of the local population in the temporarily occupied territory of Kherson Oblast. The occupation authorities announced an inventory of movable and immovable property owned by local private entrepreneurs, with subsequent so-called "nationalisation" in one of the settlements of the Kakhovka district.
To replenish the losses in manpower, the Russians do not stop mobilising the male population, in particular in the temporarily occupied territory of Luhansk Oblast. Thus, the start of the next wave of mobilisation has been recorded in the city of Alchevsk since 9 January of this year.
