Russian troops have increased the number of assaults on the town of Chasiv Yar, Donetsk Region, actively using equipment.
This was announced by the spokesperson for the Khortytsia Operational and Strategic Troops Group, Nazar Voloshyn, on the air of the telethon.
As Voloshyn said, the russians have reduced the number of airstrikes, but instead, they are actively striking with artillery. More than 1,100 mortar and artillery attacks were recorded over the past day.

Over the past day, our defenders in that direction destroyed 47 invaders, and 107 were injured. Average statistics - the enemy loses 50-60 soldiers during assaults," the spokesperson said.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, the russian occupiers tried ten times to dislodge units of the Defense Forces of Ukraine on the Kharkiv Axis. Attacks were recorded in the areas of Lyptsi, Vovchansk, and Pletenivka settlements.
