It has been the 254th day of the Ukrainian resistance to the russian military aggression.
What happened in Ukraine today:
Here is operational information of the General Staff as of 6 pm:
The enemy is trying to keep the temporarily captured territories, focusing efforts on restraining the actions of the Defense Forces in certain directions. At the same time, the enemy launches offensive operations towards Bakhmut and Avdiivka.
The enemy is firing at the units of the Armed Forces along the front line, erecting defensive constructions in some directions and conducting the aerial reconnaissance. They continue to hit the critical infrastructure and civilian homes by violating the International humanitarian laws, conventions and customs of war.
The enemy launched 3 missiles and 5 air strikes, 2 multi rocket launcher attacks. Settlements of Lviv, Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhia regions suffered from enemy strikes. The territory of Ukraine is exposed to the threat of new strikes and use of attack UAVs, specifically from the territory of the republic of belarus.
The situation did not significantly change towards Volyn and Polissia. The republic of belarus continues to support the russian armed aggression against Ukraine.
In other directions, the enemy fired towards:

According to the available information, in the settlement of Kamianka, Zaporizhzhia region, the enemy moved its units’ personnel, closed checkpoints and the commander’s office.
The personnel of the enemy units, stationed in Zaporizhzhia region, have low morale and psychological state. It is caused by poor living conditions, faulty equipment, constant delays and incomplete payments of financial support, as well as contemptuous attitude of the military leadership towards subordinates.
Aviation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine launched 4 strikes. 2 areas of buildup of weapons and military equipment, a support point and 2 positions of the enemy’s anti-aircraft missile systems were hit. In addition, air defense units shot down 2 “Shahed-136” UAVs.

As Ivan Fedorov noted, properties of 47 city health care facilities are included in this list.
