Ukrainians repelled further Russian attacks

The General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces has reported that Ukrainian forces have succeeded in repelling Russian attacks in the Verkhn’okam’yans’ke area east of Seversk, as well as an assault on the Vuhlehirsk Thermal Power Plant southeast of Bakhmut.

Russian troops again attempted to storm the site of the Vuhlehirsk Thermal Power Plant in Svitlodarsk from various directions, but without success and with losses, the staff notified in a Facebook message. 

In the Donetsk region, the enemy is concentrating its operations on the Kramator directions, shelling, among others, localities around Seversk and Bakhmut, where “the enemy is trying to create favourable conditions for continuing the offensive on Bakhmut,” according to the Ukrainian staff.

The Russians are continuing to shell Ukrainian positions and localities along the line of contact in the Donbas, as well as in the south of the country and north and east of Kharkiv. They have also carried out air attacks.
