Glory to Ukraine! The three hundred thirty-first day of the Russian large-scale invasion has begun.

The enemy carried out nine rocket and twenty-three air strikes over the past day, conducted more than eighty artillery attacks with multiple launch rocket systems. There is an increased threat of aerial and missile strikes on civilian objects throughout Ukraine.

The enemy concentrates its efforts mainly on conducting offensive operations on the Bakhmutskyi and Avdiivskyi axes. On the Kupyansk, Lyman, Novopavlovsk, and Kherson axes — it is defending.

Subdivisions of the Armed Forces repelled attacks by occupiers in the areas of the populated places of Novoselivske and Bihorivka in Luhansk Oblast; Verkhnyokamyanske, Krasnopolevka, Siverskyi Donets, Krassna Gora, Paraskeviivka, Bakhmut, Ivanivske, Dilievka, Vodyane, Mariinka, Pobedya, Novosilka in Donetsk Oblast and Mala Tokmachka and Stebneve in Zaporizhzhia.

On the Volynskyi, Polisskyi, Severnyi, and Slobozhanskyi axes no offensive groupings of the enemy were detected. However, under the guise of joint exercises with Belarus, Russia is building up its air force. The enemy shelled artillery areas of Timofiyivka in Sumy Oblast and Veterinarnoye, Strelchoye, Zelenoje, Staritsa, Vovchanska, Vilchi, Budarok, Krasnyi Pervyy, Dvorychnaya, and Kupiansk on the Kharkivshchina.

On the Lyman axis the enemy shelled with all available means areas of Novyegorivka, Makieivka, Ploschanki, Chervonopopolivka, Kremennoye, Dibrova and Serbryansky forest in Luhansk Oblast.

On the Novopavlovskyi axis the enemy shelled Vuhledar, Bogoyavlennaya, Zolota Niva, Velika Novosilka and Neskuchne in Donetsk Oblast.

In the temporarily occupied territories of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, Russia is preparing for covert mobilization. For example, in Sevastopol city calls to military commissariats began arriving for IT specialists, financial workers, and other professionals who had a deferment from mobilization.

The enemy continues to use the network of civilian health care facilities on temporarily occupied territory for treating its wounded soldiers. Thus, in Novopskov of Starobilsk Raion in Luhansk Oblast, in premises of the local maternity hospital, occupiers set up a "field hospital" where they are treating over 300 servicemen and mercenaries from private military company "Wagner."

The Air Force of the Armed Forces carried out twenty-one strikes on areas of enemy concentration and seven — on positions of its air defense missile systems during the past day. Our soldiers also destroyed three UAVs of type "Lancet-3."

Subdivisions of rocket forces and artillery of the Armed Forces of Ukraine hit six command points, eight areas of enemy concentration and an ammunition depot of occupiers.

Support the Armed Forces of Ukraine! Together we will win! Glory to Ukraine!
