Quote from the Luhansk OMA: "The Russians are not stopping their conscription of men in the temporarily occupied territories in order to replenish their manpower. Thus, another wave of conscription started on 9 January in Alchevsk."

Details: The military administration has noted that the occupiers are carrying out various provocations at the line of contact. 

In particular, assault groups from the Russian forces have been detected using Ukrainian military uniform near Kreminna. In addition, Luhansk OMA has pointed out that the Russians could be planning "false flag" operations in order to discredit the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The Luhansk OMA has stressed that the Russians use red, white or blue ribbons on their legs to distinguish their units from Ukrainian ones. 

Moreover, hospitals in Bilokurakyne, Starobilsk and Novoaidar are overcrowded with wounded Russian soldiers. In Dovzhansk, wounded Russians are even being treated in maternity wards and neighbouring sanatoriums. 

The Luhansk Oblast Military Administration has stressed that the Defence Forces of Ukraine continue "replenishing Russian hospital beds". Over the last 24 hours, the defenders repelled Russian attacks near Stelmakhivka, Makiivka and Bilohorivka.

Ukrainian aircraft carried out 16 strikes on clusters of Russian military manpower and five strikes on their anti-aircraft missile system positions over the past day. 

The defenders shot down a Russian Su-25 ground attack jet and an Orlan-10 UAV.

Ukraine’s Rocket Forces and Artillery units hit three command posts, 12 clusters of manpower and military equipment belonging to the invaders, a S-300 anti-aircraft missile system, three ammunition storage points and three other crucial sites used by the invaders.
