Ukraine claims it makes progress in southern counteroffensive
Ukrainian troops are facing a new Russian onslaught in the largely destroyed eastern city of Avdiivka, while making some progress on their counteroffensive in the southern theatre, senior military officials said on Thursday.
“The enemy is actively bringing in assault units and large amounts of armoured equipment and using aircraft and artillery.” And like Bakhmut to the northeast, captured by Russian forces in May, it has endured months of attacks since Russia’s full-scale February 2022 invasion. Officials say some 1,600 residents remain from a pre-war population of 32,000.
Russia’s accounts of the fighting said its forces had destroyed a command point near Avdiivka and repelled 11 Ukrainian attacks near Kupiansk.
