Note to your attention — operational information from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as of 06.00 on March 13, 2023, regarding the Russian invasion of our country.

Glory to Ukraine! The three hundred eighty-third day of Russia's large-scale invasion has begun.

The Russian aggressor does not abandon its intentions to occupy Ukraine. Despite significant losses, the enemy continues offensive actions on the Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiivka, Marinka, and Shakhtarsk directions. Units of the Defense Forces repelled 102 attacks by the enemy on these axes during the past day.

The Russian Federation continues to employ a tactic of terror, carrying out indiscriminate shelling of populated areas, thereby grossly violating international humanitarian law norms.

During the past day, the enemy carried out three missile strikes, including on an object of civilian infrastructure in the city of Svyatogorovsk Donetsk Oblast. The enemy also carried out eight air raids and conducted 49 shelling operations with multiple rocket launchers.

The level of missile threat remains high across the entire territory of Ukraine.

On the Volyn, Polesie, Sever, and Slobozhansky directions, the operational situation — no significant changes. The enemy maintains a military presence near the state border of Ukraine but formations for offensive groupings have not been detected. Engineering works to neutralize enemy positions in border areas of Belgorod Oblast continue. During the day, occupiers shelled the territories of Volynne Sumy Oblast and Strilechya, Maliy Prohody, Krasnoye, Velykyi Burluk, and Bogolyvka Kharkiv Oblast.

On the Kupyansk and Lyman directions, the enemy attempts to break through our forces' defense. Conducted unsuccessful offensive actions in the areas of the populated places Dvorichna, Novoselyanske, Chervonopopivka, Kreminna, Dybrova, Bihorivka, and Verkhnyokamyanske. Carried out artillery shelling of the territories of Dvorichna, Zapadne, Masutyvka, Kupyansk, Khromal'ne, Pishchane, and Chernenkha Kharkiv Oblast; Novoselyanske, Makieyevka, Dybrova, Bihorivka on Luhansk territory, as well as Severnyi and Spirene Donetsk Oblast.

On the Bakhmut direction, the enemy does not abandon attempts to seize the city of Bakhmut. Our defenders also repelled attacks by the enemy in the areas of Vasylkivka, Minkivka, Orilovo-Vasylivka and Ivanivske populated places. Enemy shelling affected, among others, Orilovo-Vasylivka, Hryhorivka, Bohdanivka, Bakhmut, Chasiv Yar, Predtekhine, Kurdyumivka, Ozaryanivka, Druzhba, Mayor'sk and New York Donetsk Oblast.

On the Avdiyivka, Marinka, and Shakhtarsky directions, the enemy conducted unsuccessful offensive actions in the areas of Kamianka, Avdiivka, Vodyane, Severne, Pereymayske, Marinka, and Pobeda populated places. Enemy shelling affected territories near the line of contact. Among these are Berdychi, Avdiivka, Tonetske, Vodyane, Georgiyivka, Nevelskoye, Krasnogorivka, Gostroye, Pobeda, Vuhledar, Veremivka and Neskyuchne Donetsk Oblast.

On the Zaporizhzhya and Kherson directions, the enemy conducts defensive actions. Shelling affected territories near the line of contact. Among these are Olhivske, Maliy Malynivka, Hulyaypole, Bihor'ya, Mala Tokmachka, Novodanylivka, Novoandreyivka and Kamyanske Zaporizhzhya Oblast; Berislaw, Poniatiwka, Dniprovske and Bilozersk on Kherson territory as well as Tamaryne and Ochakiv Mykolayiv Oblast.

Russian occupiers continue to plunder temporarily occupied territories. Recently in Enerhodar, the occupiers began transporting training equipment from the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant's training center for personnel qualification improvement.

In light of significant losses in manpower during the war, the enemy is using alternative sources to replenish its troops. Thus, last week a train with passenger cars moving towards Donetsk Oblast was noted, transporting prisoners. One of the wagons — with sentenced women.

During the day, aviation of the Defense Forces delivered an attack on an enemy air defense missile complex and six strikes against areas of concentration of manpower and military equipment of the occupiers.

Units of rocket forces and artillery struck a command post, two areas of concentration of manpower and military equipment of the enemy, as well as two ammunition depots and a depot of propellant materials.

Support the Armed Forces of Ukraine! We will win!

Glory to Ukraine!
