Quote from Barabash: “Since 06:00, [there has been] dense fire from tanks, tubed artillery and Grads (multiple launch rocket systems – ed.). Heavy fighting continues north of the city.”
Details: As he said, there is currently no information about any casualties among civilians.
Barabash also said that during the bombardment on 9 October, two men, born in 1977 and 1967, were injured and in a moderate condition.
UP sources reported that the Russians continue to advance near Avdiivka for the third day in a row. In particular, the enemy shelled the city with tanks and artillery. The Russians also bombarded settlements in the Pokrovsk district with MLRSs.
The Tavriia Operational and Strategic Grouping of Forces told Ukrainska Pravda that the Russians have stepped up their offensive efforts on the Avdiivka front near the settlements of Avdiivka, Tonenke, Keramik and Pervomaiske.
The Russian troops waged offensive actions throughout the past 24 hours but to no avail: “The defenders repelled all enemy attacks and prevented the loss of frontiers and positions.”
Pro-Russian public channels on social media are also reporting “the most massive artillery bombardment” of Ukrainian positions in recent months.
