Ukraine's Armed Forces have repelled 11 enemy attacks in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions in the last 24 hours.
According to Ukrinform, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said this in its latest war update published on Facebook.
"Eleven enemy attacks have been repulsed in the Donetsk and Luhansk directions over the past 24 hours. Six tanks, ten armored fighting vehicles and six motor vehicles of the enemy have been destroyed. Air defense units shot down the enemy's Orlan-10 UAV and Su-25 aircraft in these areas," the statement said.
In addition, air and anti-aircraft missile units of the Ukrainian Air Force destroyed four Russian cruise missiles. The General Staff said that Russia has begun to use more aircraft to destroy the critical infrastructure of settlements in areas of active hostilities.
In the Donetsk direction, the enemy is still attempting to break through the defenses of Ukrainian troops and reach the administrative borders of the Luhansk region. Active hostilities were not recorded in the Lyman direction, but the invaders shelled infrastructure outside the settlements of Lyman, Ozerne and Dibrova.
In the Sievierodonetsk direction, the enemy concentrated its efforts in the direction of the settlement of Sievierodonetsk. Russian forces also carried out assault operations near Toshkivka.
In the Bakhmut direction, the enemy fought in the area of Oleksandropillia, but suffered losses and retreated. The enemy carried out an offensive near Lypove and Trypillia, but gained no success.
In the Avdiivka, Kurakhove, Novopavlivka and Zaporizhzhia area, the enemy reduced the intensity of hostilities. The enemy launched air strikes on civilian infrastructure outside the settlements of Avdiivka, Novoselivka Druha, Novomykhailivka and Mykilske.
In the Slobozhanshchyna direction, the enemy is trying to keep the previously occupied positions in the Kharkiv region with the help of units of the 6th Combined Arms Army of the Western Military District and the Baltic Fleet. Enemy units are setting up checkpoints and fortifications on access roads and directly near the settlements of Velykyi Burluk, Kapitolivka, Mykhailivka, Levkivka, Zabavne and Kupiansk.
In addition, with the help of separate units of the Western Military District, the 11th Army Corps of the Baltic Fleet, the Eastern and Central Military Districts, Russia is preparing to resume an assault on Sloviansk. Ukrainian defense forces repulsed a Russian offensive near Dovhenke.
On February 24, 2022, Russia continued its military aggression against Ukraine, which began in 2014, with massive bombardments of Ukrainian cities, towns and villages. The Russian military staged mass terror in the temporarily occupied territories. Ukraine's Armed Forces and the Territorial Defense Forces are fiercely resisting the Russian invaders and inflicting heavy losses on them.
