In Tavria direction, Russians attack Ukrainian Army positions 22 times with no result

The spokesman for the Joint Press Center of the Tavria Defense Forces Valerii Shershen said this on the air of the United News telethon, Ukrinform reports.

"In the Tavria direction, the enemy attacked our positions 22 times without no results. In the Avdiivka direction, the enemy did not conduct an offensive. That is, we are talking mainly about the storming of Mariinka. Over the last day, the occupants made 626 attacks on the units of the Tavria direction. In addition, the enemy launched 5 air strikes, including the air strike on the mentioned Avdiivka," said Shershen.

According to him, when there are no military clashes in Avdiivka, Russians are wiping the city off the map with shelling. Terror tactics continue. Nikopol and Marhanets were also heavily shelled.

The spokesperson for the Joint Press Center of the Tavria Defense Forces noted that it is a positional war, as the enemy has nothing to attack with and no way to attack, and numerous attempts to attack Mariinka are due to the fact that Russian troops are constantly testing the defense line.

"Perhaps they are distracting us from the main plans we have in mind. It is worth mentioning that our missile and artillery units periodically launch missile strikes and perform fire missions. Speaking of the Tavria direction, 675 fire missions were carried out over the reporting period. We are acting within the framework of our global plan, which the high command is guiding us to," he said.

As Ukrinform reported, over the past day, Russian losses in killed and injured amounted to more than a company, 16 units of enemy weapons and military equipment were destroyed and damaged. This includes one D-20 howitzer and a command and control vehicle.
