Glory to Ukraine! The four hundred and thirty-first day of the large-scale military aggression by the Russian Federation against Ukraine has begun.

Despite significant losses, the Russian Federation does not abandon its plans for occupying our territory. It is delivering strikes on both military and civilian objects.

Yesterday, the enemy carried out seven missile and 39 air strikes, conducted 50 shelling operations with multiple rocket launchers. There were fatalities and injuries among civilians; private residential buildings and other civilian infrastructure were destroyed or damaged.

The likelihood of further missile and air strikes on the entire territory of Ukraine remains quite high.

The enemy continues to concentrate its main efforts on conducting offensive operations along the Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiivka, and Mariupol axes — during the past day, 58 enemy attacks were repelled. The epicenter of combat actions is Bakhmut and Mariupol.

On the Volyn and Polesie axes, there have been no significant changes in the operational situation. Signs of forming offensive groupings by the enemy have not been detected.

On the Northern and Slobozhanskyi axes, the enemy carried out air strikes on Halyaganyvtsi and Leonivka; conducted mortar and artillery shelling of populated areas in Khreinivka, Zarychche, Yelene, Timonovychi, Leonivka, Krasnykh Hutir in Chernihiv Oblast; Ukrainian, Seredyna-Buda, Stukalivka, Iskriskyshchina, Shpil, Volfinne, Yunakiivka and Mogrytsia in Sumy Oblast, as well as Chervona Zoria, Hoptivka, Krasnoe, Terneva, Vovchanskyi, Vovchanskyi Khutora and Nesterne in Kharkiv Oblast.

Artillery and mortar shelling were experienced by Stroyivka, Kamianka, Topoli, Figolivka, Novomlynskyi, Dvorichna, Zapadne, Liman First, Kislivka, Berestove in Kharkiv Oblast and Novoselivske in Luhansk Oblast.

On the Bakhmut axis, the enemy continues to conduct offensive operations. Battles are ongoing in the city of Bakhmut. In addition, the enemy conducted unsuccessful offensive operations towards Ivanivske and Predtekhinoye. Civilian casualties were sustained by Vasyukivka, Orikhovo-Vasylivka, Novomarokove, Hryhorivka, Bakhmut, Chasiv Yar, Ivanivske, Kostyantynivka, Bila Hora, Oleksandro-Shultyne, Dilievka, Pivnichne, Toretsk, Shumi, Pivdenne and New York in Donetsk Oblast.

On the Avdiivka axis, the enemy conducted offensive operations in the area of populated places Avdiivka and Perevalskiy in Donetsk Oblast, without success. He shelled Novokalynove, Avdiivka, Karlivka, Vodyane and Perevalskiy.

On the Shakhtarsk axis, yesterday the enemy did not conduct offensive operations. He shelled Bogoyavlenskaya, Vuhledar, Novoukrayinka, Prechystivka, Shakhterske and Velika Nova Sylka in Donetsk Oblast.

On the Zaporizhzhya and Kherson axes, the enemy is defending.

In temporarily occupied Sevastopol, there is unrest. As a result of yesterday's large-scale fire that broke out on an oil depot near the Cossack Bay, 10 tanks with petroleum products totaling approximately 40 thousand tons were destroyed by fire. In connection with this, rumors are spreading in the city about the inability of Russian air defense to ensure the security of its strategic objects. In turn, feeling the beginning of what is called a "hot resort season" in temporarily occupied Crimea, Russian military personnel began writing leave reports indicating places for their stay on the territory of continental Russia.

It should be noted that this oil depot supplied fuel to ships of the Black Sea Fleet of RF which delivered missile strikes against peaceful cities of Ukraine. The targets of Russian terrorists were peaceful people and civilian objects. At the same time, according to available information, there are no casualties as a result of the fire at the oil depot.

The Air Force of the Defense Forces carried out three strikes on areas of enemy personnel concentration during the past day. Also, our soldiers shot down two enemy drones of Shahed type, one reconnaissance "Orlan-10" and another drone of an undetermined type.

Subunits of rocket troops and artillery inflicted damage to the area of enemy live forces concentration, two ammunition depots, two air defense systems, one artillery subunit and another important target of the enemy.

Support the Armed Forces of Ukraine! We will win!

Glory to Ukraine!
