The situation is escalating in the Orikhiv sector, in particular, the occupiers have increased the number of artillery attacks and intensified counter-battery fighting.
According to Censor.NET with reference to Ukrinform, this was reported by the spokesman for the Southern Defence Forces Vladyslav Voloshyn.
"In the area of responsibility of the Southern Defence Forces, the number of enemy attacks is stable. In the Vremivka sector, the enemy is pushing forward with all its might, and attacks continue. The enemy has replenished its losses and is continuing its assault operations with new forces, trying to gain a foothold in the positions it has taken. Therefore, the situation is quite difficult," said Voloshyn.
He also added that the Russian army is using armoured vehicles in small numbers.
According to Voloshyn, the situation is also escalating in the Orikhiv sector, in particular, the occupiers have increased the number of artillery attacks.
"The situation is escalating in the Orikhiv sector, where the enemy conducted one assault action over the past day, continues to carry out air strikes and unguided aerial missile attacks, intensified counter-battery combat and increased the number of artillery shellings. At the same time, our servicemen have destroyed at least a dozen different enemy artillery systems in this area and are successfully conducting counter-battery combat," he said.
In addition, the enemy is trying to capture one of the dominant heights near Nesterianka, but is failing. Moreover, in the Huliaipillia sector, the Russian army rotated personnel on the frontline, continues to conduct aerial and engineering reconnaissance, which indicates that it is preparing for assault operations by small infantry groups.
