Enemy defends and suffers heavy losses: 28 combat engagements took place - General Staff

The war in Ukraine

The enemy is defending itself in the Zaporizhzhia sector and is focusing its main efforts on attempts to fully occupy Luhansk and Donetsk regions. There were 28 combat engagements during the day, in particular, the enemy tried to advance in the area of Bilohorivka, and also attacked Bila Gora near Bakhmut and Maryinka.

At the same time, the invaders are suffering significant losses, which they are trying their best to conceal. The details were reported in the traditional evening operational report of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Thus, in order to conceal the significant losses of their troops, the Russians in the temporarily occupied Berdiansk, Zaporizhzhia region, closed the area in the western part of the city around the city morgue to the public.

"Up to ten ambulances and several refrigerated vehicles have been observed gathered on the territory of the morgue itself. The ambulances are moving northwards towards the contact line," the General Staff noted.

Meanwhile, the Ukrainian Defence Forces are doing everything to make it harder for the enemy to conceal their losses. Over the last day, the defence forces' aviation carried out 15 strikes on the areas where personnel were concentrated and 2 on enemy anti-aircraft missile systems. Missile and artillery units struck 2 command posts, 5 areas of concentration of manpower, weapons and military equipment, 1 artillery unit at a firing position and 4 other important occupant targets over the day.

At this time, the enemy continues to disregard international humanitarian law and the laws and customs of war.

"Last night, the Russian occupiers launched another missile and air strike against Ukraine, using 8 missiles, including 4 Iskander ground-launched cruise missiles, and 35 Iranian Shahed strike UAVs against military facilities and critical infrastructure. The air defence forces and means of the Air Force of Ukraine, in cooperation with the air defence forces of other components of the Defence Forces of Ukraine, destroyed 2 cruise missiles and 20 Shahed-136/131 strike UAVs. In addition, the enemy carried out 66 air strikes and fired 39 times from multiple launch rocket systems. Unfortunately, there are dead and wounded among the civilian population, private houses, other civilian and administrative infrastructure have been destroyed and damaged," the General Staff of the Armed Forces noted, adding that the threat of missile and air strikes throughout Ukraine remains very high.

At the frontline, Russia is focusing its main efforts on attempts to fully occupy Luhansk and Donetsk regions. There were 28 combat engagements over the last day.
