Note to your attention — operational information from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as of 06.00 on September 12, 2022 regarding the Russian invasion into our country.

Glory to Ukraine! The two hundredth day of the heroic resistance of the Ukrainian nation against the Russian large-scale invasion has begun.

The enemy is concentrating efforts on establishing control over the territory of Donetsk Oblast, maintaining temporarily occupied territories, and disrupting our troops' advance at certain directions.

The adversary continues to bombard our positions with artillery fire, conducts aerial reconnaissance, and attempts to take measures to restore lost positions.

There remains a continued threat of air and missile strikes on the entire territory of Ukraine. During the past day, the enemy carried out 18 missile and 39 air strikes against military and civilian objects in Ukraine's territory. Over 30 populated areas were affected, including Kramatorsk, Konstantinivka, Dnipro, Pavlograd, Velykomihailivka. The Russians committed another terrorist act — they struck the Kharkiv TEC with a missile strike, an object of critical infrastructure in the city. As a result, several regions were partially de-energized.

On the Volyn and Polesie Directions, the situation remains unchanged.

At other directions, the enemy carried out shelling of military and civilian infrastructure with tanks, mortars, artillery, and rocket systems:

On the Northern Direction — near Kynratiivka in Sumy Oblast;

On the Kharkiv Direction — near populated areas of Konstantinivka, Udi;

On the Sloviansk Direction, the enemy did not conduct shelling;

On the Kramatorsk Direction — in areas of populated places Tytianivka, Donetsk, Raihorodok, Kriva Luka, Verkhnyokamyanske and Spirene;

On the Bakhmut Direction — in areas of populated places Vesele, Yakovlivka, Siversk, Bakhmutskoie, Bakhmut, Mykolayivka Second, Zaytseve;

On the Avdiyivka Direction, shelling was suffered by Karlivka, Vodyane, Perevomayske, Krasnogorivka, Mariinka and Novomykhailivka;

On the Novopavlovsk Direction — in areas of Prichystyvky, Velyki Novosilky, Bogoyavlensk, Nesukhnyi and Mykolaylivskyi;

On the Zaporizhzhia Direction — near Novosilka, Veremivka, Novopolie, Novoandriyivka, Poltavka, Hulyaipole and Zaliznychnoe;

On the South Buzhok Direction, shelling was suffered by areas of populated places Novovoznesenske, Bela Krinitsia, Osokoryivka, Velyke Artakove, Suchy Stavok, Kostromka, Partizanske, Bezimenne, Blagodativka, Ivanivka, Zarychne, Bilyhorodka and Mire.

Defensive forces repelled attacks by the enemy near Mayorivka and Krasnogorivka. In areas of Mykolaylivka Second and Zaytseve, fighting continues.

Following successful actions carried out by Defensive Forces on the Kherson Direction, the adversary suffered significant losses in manpower. According to available information, the 810th Separate Marine Brigade (stationed in Sevastopol) lost nearly 85% of its personnel strength. Among other servicemen, there is a very low morale and psychological state, they are massively refusing to return to combat zones.

The liberation of populated areas from Russian occupiers continues in Kharkiv and Donetsk Oblasts. As reported earlier, during their retreat, Russian troops hastily abandon their positions and flee deeper into temporarily occupied territories or into the territory of the Russian Federation. This trend persists. Thus, over the past day, the occupiers evacuated looted property and transportation means from populated places Veliky Burluk and Dvorichna in Kharkiv Oblast.

In Luhansk Oblast, Russian military personnel with their families have left the city of Svatove; only servicemen of so-called «people's militia» from local residents remain there.

Overall, over the past day, Defensive Forces managed to expel the enemy from more than 20 populated areas. Measures are being taken to bring them under full control and stabilize the situation.

The Air Force of Defensive Forces carried out eight strikes — damaging a platoon defensive point, six areas of concentration of manpower and military equipment of the enemy, as well as one air defense missile complex.

One BPLA type "Orlan-10" was destroyed, one Kh-59 guided missile was shot down, four sea-based guided missiles type «Kalibr» and five air-launched guided missiles type Kh-101 were also shot down. The enemy's losses in manpower are being clarified.

Rocket troops and artillery units of ground forces continue to perform tasks related to counter-battery warfare, artillery strikes on manpower and military equipment, disruption of the enemy's command system and logistical support, as well as supporting counter-offensive actions of our troops.

Believe in the Armed Forces of Ukraine! Together we will win!

Glory to Ukraine!
