Note to your attention — operational information from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as of 06.00 on February 12, 2023 regarding the Russian invasion of our country.

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

The enemy continues to concentrate its main efforts on offensive actions along the Kupyansk, Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiivka, and Novopavlovka axes. It actively uses operational-tactical and army aviation for strikes against our troops' positions.

Over the past day, units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces repelled enemy attacks in the areas of Bilohorivka and Serednytske Forest in Luhansk Oblast, as well as in Toretsk, Fedorivka, Bakhmut, Ivanivske, Chasovo Yar, Pervomaisk, Victory, Mariinka, and Volodumyrivka in Donetsk Oblast.

During the day, the enemy carried out 12 missile strikes (three of them — on civilian infrastructure in Kharkiv) and 32 air strikes, six of which were conducted using "Shahed-136" drones. Four of these drones were shot down. The enemy also carried out more than 90 artillery attacks with multiple rocket launchers.

There remains a high threat of further Russian aerial and missile strikes across the entire territory of Ukraine.

On the Volyn, Polissya, Sever, and Slobozhansky axes — no significant changes; signs of forming offensive groupings have not been detected. Enemy shelling affected areas around more than 20 populated places. Among them are Senkivka in Chernihiv Oblast; Novovasylivka, Porokhuny, Studenok, Starikove, and Volvynne on the Sumy region; Krasnoe, Glibokie, Synelnyvke, Vovchansk, Figolivka, Novomlynsk, and Dvorichna in Kharkiv Oblast. The occupiers also carried out air strikes near Hativshcha and Vovchansky.

On the Kupyansk and Lyman axes, the enemy conducted mortar and artillery shelling of areas around more than 25 populated places. This includes Grynykivka, Novoyegorivka, Synykhivka, Petro-Pavlivka, Tabayivka, and Berestove in Kharkiv Oblast; Steblamakhivka, Vishneve, Chervonopopivka, and Serednytske Forest on the Luhansk region. Air strikes were carried out near Chervonopopivka, Zhitlivka, Dibrov, Grygoriyevka, and Spirnoye.

On the Bakhmut axis, tank, mortar, and artillery shelling affected areas around populated places such as Spirne, Berestove, Vasyukivka, Zaliznyanske, Krasna Gora, Paraskevievka, Chasovo Yar, Bakhmut, Ivanivske, Klitsyivka, Kurdyumivka, Predtechyne, Bila Hora, and Zalizne in Donetsk Oblast. In total — more than 25 populated places.

On the Avdiivka and Novopavlovka axes, areas around 25 populated places were hit by tank, mortar, and artillery shelling, including Kalynove, Orlyvka, Severne, Avdiivka, Victory, Novomikhaylivka, Volodumyrivka, Zolotaya Niva, Neskuchnoe, Vremyevka, and Novosilka. Enemy air strikes were recorded near Avdiivka, Veseloye, Nevelskiy, and Mariinka.

On the Zaporizhzhya axis, areas around Veremievka and Novopily in Donetsk Oblast, as well as Malinivka, Hulyaypole, Charivne, Mala Tokmakha, Magdalynivka, and Stepnogirsk on the Zaporizhzhia region were affected by artillery fire. The enemy also carried out air strikes near Mala Tokmakh and Kamianske.

On the Kherson axis, areas around Hryhorivka, Mylove, Chervoniy Mayak, Novobereislav, Berislav, Burgunka, Pridniprovske, and Stanislav in Kherson Oblast were affected by enemy artillery fire. The city of Kherson itself and its outskirts also suffered from shelling. Additionally, the enemy carried out an air strike near Zimyvnik.

In Brillyvtsi and Novokiyivtsy temporarily occupied territories in Kherson Oblast, attempts by so-called "local administration" of occupation forces to seize housing from local residents are noted. In particular, Russian military servicemen actively go through houses checking citizens for registration documents and property rights documentation. Abandoned homes are sealed with notices stating that the premises have been transferred into the possession of the so-called occupation "local administration."

The aviation of the Defense Forces carried out 19 strikes on areas where enemy forces were concentrated, as well as two strikes against positions of air defense missile systems.

Our defenders also shot down a Su-25 aircraft and an "Orlan" type drone. Units of rocket troops and artillery struck 14 areas where enemy manpower was concentrated and an air defense missile system.

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

Glory to Ukraine!
