AFU: Enemy plans to develop offensive west of Avdiivka and Maryinka

Nazar Voloshyn, spokesman for the Khortytsia operational and strategic group of troops, said this on the air of the United News telethon, Ukrinform reports.

"From Ocheretyne, the occupiers are rushing to the Pokrovsk-Konstantinivka highway. Fierce fighting continues at the Pokrovsk and Kurakhove directions. The enemy has deployed up to four brigades of the Russian Armed Forces there and plans to develop an offensive west of Avdiivka and Maryinka, making its way to Pokrovsk and Kurakhove," said Voloshyn.

He noted that in general, the enemy has achieved some tactical success in this area, but failed to gain an operational advantage.

The spokesman for the Khortytsia Joint Forces Operation Center added that in order to strengthen the defense, our brigades are being relocated, which have restored their combat capability.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, 134 combat engagements took place at the frontline over the past day, with the majority of attacks repelled in the Avdiivka sector.
