Also, the enemy tried to conduct combat reconnaissance in the areas of Pidhorodne and Bakhmut where they failed and withdrew.
To gain a foothold, the enemy led an offensive in the directions of Bakhmut, Yakovlivka and Zaitseve, failed, and withdrew with losses. The enemy was partially successful towards Vershina.

Ukrainian units firmly and confidently hold the defense and continue successful implementation of certain fire tasks.
It is reported that in Novofedorivka in the temporarily occupied Crimea, an airfield is burning. It was from there that russian aircraft took off and fired missiles at Ukraine.
However, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine cannot establish the cause for the airfield fire and suggests that the fact of “detonation” may be used by the Russian Federation in the information war. They suppose that the invaders might “accidentally” find a “chevron”, a “business card” or even “DNA” to deceive people.
On Instagram, the page of the Association of the Family of Defenders of Azovstal was blocked. It is assumed that this may be due to unusual activity or complaints.
Fedorov and his team have sent a letter to Meta requesting to unblock that page, the one of the Association chairman and 5 other pages related to Azov’s activities. Now they are all blocked. We remember our heroes and do our best for their liberation.
Podolyak reported on the situation on the battlefield.
The daily toll of Ukrainians at the front is about 30-50 people. This is 2.5-3 times less than in June. Podolyak explains this by the fact that our MLRS are targeting logistics centres of the russian invaders very effectively. Another reason is redeployment of the russian army along the entire front line. Our defenders continue their efficient combat operations.
