More than 20 settlements along the contact line were hit by fire in the South Buh direction. To conduct aerial reconnaissance, the enemy made about 20 flies of UAVs of various types.
In connection with the unstable operation of medical aviation, the unpreparedness of the medical infrastructure of the Belgorod region, the 100% capacity of hospitals, the enemy is forced to evacuate the wounded by buses to nearby Voronezh.
In the Beryslav settlement of the Kherson oblast, the occupiers are en masse changing into civilian clothes and moving into private residences.
The so-called “evacuation” of occupiers from the temporarily occupied territory of the Kherson region, including medical facilities, continues. All equipment and medicines are taken out of Kherson hospitals. Doctors who refuse to leave are not allowed to enter hospital grounds, even for personal belongings.
As a result of point strikes by units of the Defence Forces of Ukraine, about 300 occupiers who were preparing for another attack were destroyed in the area of the settlement of Mayorsk the day before. About 60 more lightly wounded were taken the next day to medical facilities in the city of Horlivka. Up to 20 enemy servicemen were eliminated in the village of Chervonopopivka, Luhansk oblast, and about 30 occupiers were wounded of various degrees of severity.
During the past 24 hours, the Air Force of the Defence Forces carried out 24 strikes on the areas of concentration of weapons and military equipment, as well as on the positions of the enemy’s air defense systems. In different directions, our air defense units shot down two Su-25 attack aircraft, one Mi-8 helicopter and one enemy UAV.
During the current day, soldiers of the missile troops and artillery hit the positions of batteries of self-propelled artillery installations and other important military objects of the enemy.
We believe in the Armed Forces! Together we will win! Glory to Ukraine!
