The commander of the Tavria group, Alexander Tarnavsky, reported an increase in the number of air strikes by the Russian Aerospace Forces against the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, especially in the Donetsk direction.

According to his statement, the use of guided bombs continues, contradicting information about their supposed cessation. Tarnavsky clarified that during the day the Russian Aerospace Forces carried out 16 airstrikes, most of which occurred in the Donetsk region.

"16 airstrikes per day. All but one in the Donetsk region," - noted the general.

In addition to airstrikes, ground attacks by Russian troops are actively underway. The difficult situation remains along almost the entire line of combat contact. The situation is especially acute in the area of ​​Avdeevka and Marinka. In this regard, the Ukrainian command is forced to transfer reserves from other directions, leaving some areas less protected.
