Ukrainian troops have managed to stabilise the defence line in the Avdiyivka sector in the areas of Tonenke, Orlivka and Berdychi, said the commander of the Tavriya Operational and Strategic Group of Forces, Oleksandr Tarnavskyy.
In the group's operational area, Russians carried out 45 air strikes, made 935 artillery attacks and 81 strikes with kamikaze drones over the past day. There were 43 combat engagements.
"Russian offensive attempts in the areas of Novomykhaylivka and Robotyne were unsuccessful," said Tarnavskyy.
According to him, 11 more Russians surrendered yesterday and this morning.
Maksym Zhorin, deputy commander of the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade, said today that the situation near Avdiyivka is very difficult. The enemy continues to carry out active offensive actions - both day and night. The main focus of enemy pressure is the Berdychi-Orlivka line, and fighting is also very active in the area of Krasnohorivka.
