The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said this in its morning update published on Facebook.

In addition, the Ukrainian air defense forces shot down three enemy UAVs in the last day. According to preliminary information, two Orlan-10s and an Orion UAV were taken down.

Units of the Ukrainian missile and artillery forces hit two Russian command posts, five troop concentration areas, an ammunition depot and an air defense position.

"In the past 24 hours, units of the Defense Forces repelled attacks by the occupiers outside the settlements of Hrianykivka and Masiutivka in the Kharkiv region, Stelmakhivka and Dibrova in the Luhansk region, as well as Fedorivka, Krasna Hora, Bakhmut, Ivanivske, Avdiivka, Krasnohorivka, Paraskoviivka and Prechystivka in the Donetsk region," the General Staff said.

It added that the enemy continues to focus its main efforts on conducting offensive operations in the Kupiansk, Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiivka and Novopavlivka sectors outside the settlements of Kreminna, Bakhmut, Avdiivka, Opytne, Marinka and Vuhledar. Russian forces actively use tactical and army aircraft to strike the positions of Ukrainian troops.

In the past day, the enemy launched 52 air strikes and six missile strikes, two of them hitting civilian infrastructure in the city of Kramatorsk, Donetsk region. The occupiers also used multiple launch rocket systems 63 times, particularly against civilian infrastructure in the Donetsk and Kherson regions.
