Moscow, SANA-High-precision missile attacks launched by the Russian Aerospace Forces near Pavlograd (Dnepropetrovsk region) have resulted in the destruction of the workshops at a manufacturing facility that produced fuel and rocket engines for the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU).

In Kupyansk direction, pre-emptive attack launched at an AFU manpower concentration area has resulted in the prevention of the enemy’s attempt to attack Russian positions towards Novosyolovskoye (Lugansk People’s Republic).

Up to 20 Ukrainian personnel, and two armored motor vehicles have been eliminated.

In Krasny Liman direction, the operation of Russian artillery, Army Aviation and heavy flamethrower systems has resulted in the frustration of the attempts made by five AFU company tactical groups to launch attacks towards Kolomyichikha, Makeevka, Ploschanka, Chervonopopovka and Chervonaya Dibrova (Luganks People’s Republic).
