To your attention — operational information from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as of 06.00 on September 27, 2022 regarding the Russian invasion of our country.

Glory to Ukraine! The two hundred sixteenth day of heroic resistance against Russia's military aggression has begun.

The enemy continues to concentrate efforts on fully occupying Donetsk Oblast and holding onto seized territories, as well as halting active operations by the Armed Forces at certain points. Shelling of our positions along the line of contact is ongoing; in some areas, occupiers attempt to recapture lost positions and conduct aerial reconnaissance. The adversary strikes civilian infrastructure and residential areas, violating international humanitarian law, laws, and customs of war.

There remains a threat of air and missile strikes across the entire territory of Ukraine. Thus, over the past day, the enemy carried out nine missile and 22 aerial attacks, conducted more than 90 shelling operations with multiple rocket launchers. Over the last day, the adversary used attack drones in the vicinity of Bilenky village in Odesa Oblast.

Over fifty populated areas were affected by fire strikes. Among them are Sloviansk, Kramatorsk, Siversk, Avdiivka, Novopavlivka, Zaporizhzhia, Mariupol, Mykolayiv, Pervomaisk, Bilenky.
