The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reports on Facebook.

Russians try to hold the temporarily captured territories, concentrate their efforts on attempts to disrupt the active actions of the Defense Forces in certain directions, and at the same time conduct offensive actions in the Bakhmut and Avdiivka directions.

Russians shell positions of Ukrainian troops along the entire contact line, carry out engineering defense equipment in certain directions and conduct aerial reconnaissance.

The adversary continues to violate the norms of International Humanitarian Law, the laws and customs of war, strikes critical infrastructure, as well as the homes of the civilian population.

There remains the threat of air and missile strikes on the entire territory of Ukraine.

Russians conducted 7 missile and and 12 air strikes, about 80 attacks from multiple missile systems in the last 24 hours.

Russians hit more than 20 settlements. In particular, Slavgorod, Bilovody, Vugledar, Ridkodub, Gulyaipilske, Novoandriivka, Zaporizhzhia and Mykolaiv.

Russians also used seven Iranian-made Shahed-136 unmanned aerial vehicles to strike Ukrainian cities. Three of them were shot down, and four reached Zaporizhzhia and Mykolaiv.

In order to further support armed aggression against Ukraine, mobilization is ongoing in Russia. Local authorities in some districts try to implement their plan by enlisting unemployed men.

Russians shelled the other directions:

in the Seversky direction - from mortars and barrel artillery in Bleshnya, Gai and Senkivka of the Chernihiv region and Starykovo of the Sumy region;

In the temporarily captured territories of the Zaporizhzhia region, Russians try to intensify measures to discredit units of Ukrainian Armed Forces. Special correspondents of the Russian mass media are additionally involved in creating fake content.

More than 27 settlements near the contact line were shelled by tanks, mortars, barrel and rocket artillery in the Southern Bug direction.

Russians actively engage UAVs of various types to conduct reconnaissance and carry out strikes. Ukrainian defenders shot down eight UAVs in different directions: five of the Orlan-10 type and three of the Shahed-136 type.
