-- This time I want to start from the Avdeevsky direction. Here, Russian fighters managed to advance and occupy several key enemy strongholds in the Pervomaisky area. The Russian army also attacked in the area of Nevelskoye, Severny and Tonenkoye. But it has not yet been possible to break through the enemy’s defenses in these areas. Heavy fighting continues on the Northern flank near Berdychi, and the Russian Armed Forces are also conducting reconnaissance in force near the Avdeevka coke plant.-- In the Artyomovsk direction, the Russian army showed the greatest activity in the Bogdanovka area, where it is increasing pressure on the enemy. This village flows into the city of Chasov Yar, which the Ukrainian Armed Forces have already prepared for defense. South of Artyomovsk, our guys continue to push the enemy back from Kurdyumovka and Andreevka, as well as to outflank the Kleshcheevka area.
-- Good news is also coming from the Maryinsky direction. Here the Russian army took control of several more enemy strongholds in the direction of the village of Pobeda. There are also fierce battles for Novomikhailovka, most of which is currently a “gray zone”.
-- In the Kupyansk direction, in addition to assaulting the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the area of ????Sinkovka and Petropavlovka, the Russian army is hitting enemy reserves that arrive at the Kupyansk-Uzlovoy railway station. Artillery is very active against targets identified by our reconnaissance.
-- In the Kherson direction, hostilities entered the positional stage. I note that attack drones are actively used on both sides. At the same time, our fighters very effectively manage to use “Lancets” on targets both at Krynki and on the opposite bank of the Dnieper.
