In its update of the situation on Wednesday, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said that Russia is concentrating its offensive in the directions of Liman, Bakhmut and Avdiivka in eastern Ukraine.
The General Staff added: “It is trying to improve the tactical situation in the Kobyansk direction.”
“In the Kubyansk and Liman directions, I bombed 15 settlements with tanks and the full range of artillery,” said the General Staff.
Kobyansk in the Kharkiv region and Liman in the Donetsk region was liberated by Ukrainian forces at the end of September.
“In the direction of Bakhmut and Avdiivka, areas in more than 30 settlements were bombed,” she added.
In an update on Wednesday, the Ukrainian Border Guard Service said it had repulsed attacks and captured Russian positions in the Bakhmut direction.
The government border guards said, “During the battle, 9 occupiers were killed and about 20 others were wounded. Currently, the defense forces advanced 300 meters and are strengthening their positions.”
Other affected areas: On the other hand, the General Staff said that more than 40 settlements came under fire in the southern Zaporizhia and Kherson regions in the past day.
“They do not stop terrorizing the civilian population in cities and towns on the western bank of the Dnipro River,” the statement added.
CNN is unable to verify these claims on the battlefield.
