Details: During the course of the day, the Air Force of the Defence Forces of Ukraine launched 14 attacks on the clusters of Russian manpower and military equipment and four attacks on the positions of anti-aircraft missile systems. Ukraine’s Rocket Forces and Artillery units struck three clusters of manpower and another important facility used by the occupiers.

The Russians concentrate their main efforts on conducting offensive actions on the Kupiansk, Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiivka and Shakhtarsk fronts. There were no changes in the composition or position of the Russian troop groups.

In order to determine the position of the Ukrainian forces and adjust the artillery fire, the Russian army is actively conducting aerial reconnaissance. Thus, Russians are losing their military equipment: the Defence Forces of Ukraine destroyed Russian Merlin and Zala UAVs.

The Russian occupiers launched nine missile attacks during the day, one of which was on the building of the civil administration of the town of Dvorichna in Kharkiv Oblast, and 28 airstrikes. They launched over 40 attacks using the multiple-launch rocket systems. Civilian facilities in the towns of Beryslav, Zelenivka and Bilozerka in Kherson Oblast have been damaged as a result of the attacks.

Civilians have been killed and injured in the attacks.
