"Success loves silence": Azov confirms late April advance in Serebrianka Forest

The brigade's press service announced this.

"On April 21, the 12th special purpose brigade Azov and the 1st operational brigade Bureviy of the National Guard of Ukraine conducted offensive operations in Serebrianka Forestry," the statement reads.

The joint actions resulted in the brigades advancing 1 km in depth and 2 km along the front, completing a stage of their offensive operations.

Azov urged the media and the public to avoid creating information noise and to refrain from reporting details of the Ukrainian Defense Forces' advancements without official confirmation from the brigade's media services.

"Success loves silence!" emphasized the military.

A day earlier, Deputy Commander of the Azov brigade, Svyatoslav Palamar, stated that soldiers had driven Russian troops from some positions in the Serebrianka Forest near Kreminna, without specifying the exact timing.

• As of June 16, there were 118 combat clashes at the front within the past day. A tense situation persists in the Pokrovsk direction, where Russian troops are attempting to breach the Ukrainian defense, but are failing.
