Air alert announced in several districts of Ukraine

Russian troops are concentrating their main efforts in the Kupiansk, Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiivka, and Marinka directions, while sabotage and reconnaissance groups were active on the Sivershchyna and Slobozhanshchyna axes. That’s according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

24 firefights took place in the Kupiansk, Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiivka, and Marinka directions. According to the General Staff, the towns of Bakhmut and Marinka in Donetsk region remain at the epicenter of hostilities.

In total, the Russian army carried out four missile strikes and 45 air strikes, as well as more than 30 attacks involving MLR systems, destroying and damaging residential buildings and other civilian infrastructure.

In missile attacks on Lyman, Sloviansk, and Kostiantynivka, the enemy once again fired S-300 air defense systems, which are not considered high-precision weapons, which emphasizes the terror tactics pursued by Russia.

In total, during the day, the Ukrainian aviation carried out 12 strikes on the Russian manpower and equipment clusters, as well as four on the enemy’s air defense systems. Ukraine’s rocket and artillery forces, for their part, struck an enemy cluster, two ammunition depots, two artillery installations at firing positions, and “another important target”.

Ukrainian defenders destroyed 3 Russian reconnaissance drones on Sunday. The General Staff warns that further missile and air strikes are highly likely across the entire territory of Ukraine.
