Despite significant losses, the enemy continues offensive operations in the Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiivka, Marinka, and Shakhtarsk directions.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said this in its morning update, Ukrinform reports.

“Over the past day, units of the Defense Forces repelled more than 100 enemy attacks in the indicated directions... During the day, our aviation launched 10 strikes on the areas of concentration of the occupiers, while missile and artillery units hit 5 areas of concentration of enemy personnel and military equipment, as well as 3 ammunition depots and 4 electronic warfare systems of the invaders," the report says.

The General Staff stresses that the Russian Federation uses terror tactics, indiscriminately shelling populated areas, which is a gross violation of International Humanitarian Law.

"Over the past day, the enemy launched 5 missile strikes, in particular, on civil infrastructure objects in Sumy and Donetsk regions. There are killed and injured civilians. The enemy also launched 35 airstrikes and carried out 76 attacks using multiple launch rocket systems,” the General Staff said.

The threat of further missile attacks throughout the territory of Ukraine remains high, the General Staff added.

As reported by Ukrinform, the Defense Forces of Ukraine eliminated 159,800 Russian invaders from February 24, 2022 to March 13, 2023.
