Details: On the Volyn, Polissia, Sivershchyna and Slobozhanshchyna fronts, there were no signs of the formation of Russian offensive groups. Certain units of the Armed Forces of Belarus and Russia keep carrying out tasks in the districts bordering Ukraine.
On the Sivershchyna and Slobozhanshchyna fronts, areas of some settlements were attacked, including Senkivka and Karpovychi in Chernihiv Oblast. Porokhon and Bachivsk in Sumy Oblast, and Strilecha, Zelene, Ternova, Starytsia, Ohirtseve, Hatyshche, Vovchansk, Chuhunivka and Ridkodub in Kharkiv Oblast.
On the Kupiansk front, areas of the settlements of Dvorichna, Zapadne, Synkivka, Orlianka, Kyslivka, Kotliarivka, Kolisnykivka, Berestove, Bohuslavka and Ivanivka in Kharkiv Oblast, as well as Stelmakhivka in Luhansk Oblast, came under Russian fire.
On the Lyman front, Russian forces fired at Hrekivka, Makiivka, Nevske, Chervonopopivka and Dibrova in Luhansk Oblast.
On the Bakhmut front, the occupiers struck Spirne, Bilohorivka, Rozdolivka, Soledar, Krasna Hora, Paraskoviivka, Pidhorodne, Bakhmut, Klishchiivka, Kurdiumivka, Ozarianivka, Druzhba and Pivnichne in Donetsk Oblast.
On the Avdiivka front, the invaders hit Krasnohorivka, Avdiivka, Marinka and Novomykhailivka.
On the Novopavlivka front, Vuhledar, Prechystivka and Zolota Nyva in Donetsk Oblast came under Russian fire.
On the Zaporizhzhia front, the occupiers deployed tanks, mortars, tubed and rocket artillery to fire on the areas in and around Vremivka and Vilne Pole in Donetsk Oblast, and Huliaipole, Zaliznychne, Huliaipilske, Chervone, Charivne, Bilohiria, Mala Tokmachka, Orikhiv and Kamianske in Zaporizhzhia Oblast.
On the Kherson front, Antonivka and Kherson were attacked with mortars and artillery systems.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has reported that the Russian occupiers continue to put pressure on members of the local population of the temporarily occupied territory of Kherson Oblast who are refusing to collaborate with the occupation authorities. They are also conducting searches in residential buildings. Moreover, the invaders are disturbed by the pro-Ukraine attitude of the oblast’s citizens, which poses a threat to them.
The report states that the invaders are conducting filtration measures in some settlements in the Melitopol district of Zaporizhzhia Oblast. They pay close attention to phones during checks, looking for confirmation of cooperation with the Defence Forces.
The General Staff is also aware of Russians ordering civilian special uniforms with Rosneft and Elektrostal [Russian energy company and metallurgical plant, respectively, - ed.] logos for the personnel of one of the occupiers’ units operating on the Novopavlivka front in the Volnovakha district of Donetsk Oblast. It is obvious that the Russians are trying to hide their affiliation with Russian occupation troops for some reason.
Over the last 24 hours, Ukrainian aircraft carried out 16 strikes on clusters of Russian military manpower and five strikes on their anti-aircraft missile system positions. At the same time, Ukrainian defenders shot down a Su-25 ground attack jet and an Orlan-10 UAV.
In additioin, Ukraine’s Rocket Forces and Artillery units hit three command posts, 12 clusters of Russian military manpower and equipment, a S-300 anti-aircraft missile system, three ammunition storage points and three other crucial sites used by the occupiers.
