Over the past day, Ukraine’s Defense Forces have repelled enemy attacks near the Donetsk region’s Spirne, Yakovlivka, Bakhmutske, Bakhmut, Opytne and Klishchiivka, and the Luhansk region’s Bilohorivka.
The relevant statement was made by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Facebook, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
Over the past day, Russian troops have launched two missile strikes on civil infrastructure in the Kherson region’s Kupiansk, and opened fire with multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) along the contact line about 10 times.

Belarus continues to support Russia’s armed aggression against Ukraine, providing the aggressor state with its infrastructure, territory and airspace. Russian aircraft operate flights within the airspace of Belarus nearly every day.
“The MiG-31K aircraft, which takes off from the Machulishchy airfield, is a carrier of the Kinzhal hypersonic missiles, capable of hitting targets all over Ukraine. For this reason, we are forced to announce air raid alerts so often across all regions of Ukraine,” the General Staff noted.
