Ukraine's General Staff: 22 combat clashes recorded in four battlefield areas

Twenty-two combat clashes took place in the Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiivka and Marinka areas on Tuesday, with heavy fighting ongoing.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said this in an evening situational update published on Facebook, Ukrinform reports.

According to the General Staff, Russian troops continue to focus their main efforts on the said areas.

Throughout the day, Ukrainian combat aircraft carried out 11 strikes on areas where Russian military personnel were concentrated, as well as three more strikes on the enemy's anti-aircraft missile systems.

Ukrainian rocket and artillery units hit the enemy's command post, three areas of concentration of Russian military personnel, weapons and equipment, as well as an ammunition depot, an anti-aircraft missile complex, an artillery unit in a firing position, an air defense system and an electronic warfare station.

In the flooded town of Hola Prystan, the occupiers maintain their presence, fire at evacuation points and blame Ukrainian Armed Forces units for this. For their part, the occupation authorities make locals say in front of cameras that they are thankful to "Russian Emergencies Service" units for their alleged rescue and evacuation. However, all this time, without receiving assistance from the occupation authorities, people were forced to save each other on their own. After the situation has stabilized and the water receded, returning to the city, people witness looting and robbery of their own homes.
