This is stated in the message of the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade, published in Telegram.

The soldiers also reported that the occupiers are shelling Avdiyivka day and night with artillery and anti-aircraft guns, dropping 60 aerial bombs. Assaults by armored vehicles and enemy infantry attacks are ongoing in the city.
