This is stated in the operational summary of the General Staff as of 18.00 Thursday, July 7. Yesterday, we recall, the General Staff reported only two naval missile carriers .

No changes in the state, composition and nature of the actions of the military of Belarus were noted in the Volyn and Polesye directions x. The threat of rocket and bomb strikes from the territory of this country remains.

In the Seversky direction , the enemy, in order to demonstrate his presence, fired artillery at the Volkovka, Kondratovka and Miropolye regions of the Sumy region. In addition, he carried out airstrikes near Esmani and Miropolye.

In the Slobozhansky direction, the enemy continues to focus on holding positions and preventing the advance of units of the Ukrainian defense forces deep into the temporarily occupied territory. During the day, he used tanks, cannon and rocket artillery to shell settlements in the Kharkov region along the entire line of collision. But our soldiers nullified all enemy forces to advance in the direction of Sosnovka. The assault was repelled , and the invaders retreated to their previously occupied positions.

In the east of the country, the enemy is still trying to establish full control over the territory of the Lugansk region. So, in the Slavic direction , the Russians again unsuccessfully stormed Bogorodichnoe , trying to completely capture it. Our warriors severely suppressed another attempt. The enemy fires cannon and rocket artillery at the areas of the settlements of Suligovka, Krasnoe, Nikopol, Novopavlovka, Karnaukhovka, Adamovka, Krasnopolye, Bogorodichnoye, Mazanovka, Dibrovno and Dolyna.

In the Kramatorsk direction, the enemy made unsuccessful attempts at assault operations in the directions of Grigorovka and Verkhnekamensky . Also, from barrel and rocket artillery, the Russians fired at the areas of the settlements of Mayaki, Seversk, Serebryanka, Grigorovka, Verkhnekamenskoye, Zolotarovka and Zvanovka. An enemy air strike was recorded in the Serebryanka area.

In the Bakhmut direction, Ukrainian soldiers inflicted losses on the enemy when he tried to improve his tactical position near Vershina and Berestovoye . The enemy retreated in panic.

Cannon and rocket artillery shelling continues along the collision line in the Avdeevka, Kurakhovsky, Novopavlovsky and Zaporozhye directions . Attack planes attacked the enemy near Kamenskoye.

In the Yuzhnobuzhsk direction, the situation has not undergone significant changes. Enemy subunits continue to hold their occupied positions and fire at the positions of subunits of our troops with means of destruction.

The statements of the Russian Ministry of Defense about the alleged death of Ukrainian soldiers who carried out a cleansing operation and planted Ukrainian flags on Zmeiny Island do not correspond to reality.
