“Glory to Ukraine! The 247th day of the heroic opposition of the Ukrainian nation to the Russian large-scale invasion began. The enemy is trying to keep the temporarily occupied territories, focuses its efforts on deterring the actions of the Defense Forces in certain areas, while at the same time does not stop conducting offensive operations in the Bakhmut and Avdiivka directions,” the General Staff said in a statement.

The enemy shells the positions of our troops along the line of contact, carries out fortification equipment of positions in certain directions, in particular, on the left bank of the Dnieper River, and actively conducts air reconnaissance.
In violation of international humanitarian law, the laws and customs of warfare, it continues to strike critical infrastructure and civilian accommodations.
During the day, the enemy launched 15 air and one missile strike, carried out more than 40 attacks from multiple launch rocket systems. The settlements of Bilohirka, Nova Kamyanka, Novohredneve, Kherson region, Stepove of Zaporizhia region and Marinka and Pavlivka in the Donetsk region suffered from this.
In the Volyn and Polissya directions, the situation remains unchanged. The Republic of Belarus continues to support the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, providing its territory, airspace and infrastructure. The threat of missile and air strikes, including the use of strike UAVs, remains.
In other directions, the enemy carried out shelling:

According to the updated information, the defeat of enemy manpower and equipment for the previous days was confirmed. Thus, in the Zaporizhia region, 8 units of weapons and military equipment of various types were destroyed and up to 120 servicemen were wounded.
In the temporarily occupied territory of the Kherson region, about 100 wounded occupiers were delivered to medical institutions.
The command of the Russian occupation forces, in order to avoid panic among the personnel, is trying by all means to hide the real losses of servicemen.
The so-called “evacuation” from the temporarily occupied territory of the Kherson region continues. Considerable attention is paid to the export of medical equipment and property, as the occupiers say, of “nationalized” enterprises. Thus, from the settlement of Belozerka, the equipment of the local hospital is exported to the cities of Skadovsk and Genichesk. At the same time, there is an increase in the enemy’s grouping in the right-bank part of the temporarily occupied territory of the Kherson region by mobilized servicemen numbering up to 1000 people. They are settled in the homes of local residents who have left these territories.
The Aviation of the Defense Forces during the past day inflicted 29 strikes. The defeat of 21 areas of concentration of enemy manpower, weapons and military equipment, 3 strongholds and 5 positions of anti-aircraft missile systems was confirmed. Air defense units shot down 2 enemy Ka-52 helicopters and one Su-25 attack aircraft.
