As reported in the military command, during the past 24 hours, the Air Force of the Defense Forces carried out five strikes on the areas where the enemy's personnel, weapons, and military equipment are concentrated.
Also, Ukraine's air defense destroyed three Iskander-K land-based cruise missiles.
In turn, units of the missile forces struck:
- area of concentration of personnel, weapons, and military equipment,
- enemy artillery.
At the same time, the Defense Forces of Ukraine continue to conduct an offensive operation on the Melitopol front, inflict losses in human resources and equipment on the occupying forces, and exhaust the enemy along the entire front line.
For reference:
It should be noted that the enemy troops have apparent problems with fuel. It has to be transferred from remote regions of the Russian Federation to Avdiivka and Zaporizhzhia.
In addition, according to British intelligence, the Russian army suffered some of the worst losses of 2023 at Avdiivka, and, likely, the command's requests are again at odds with the actual capabilities of the Russian military.
