"During the day, units of the [Russian] Yug Group of Forces continued to repel attempts by assault units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to break through the defenses in the Lisichansk, Soledar-Artemovsk [Bakhmut] and Aleksandr-Kalinovsk directions. The group's aviation carried out missile and bomb strikes against concentrations of enemy manpower and firepower," the spokesperson said.
The spokesperson added that accumulations of weapons and equipment of Ukrainian forces were hit in Avdeevka. Moreover, Russian crews of the Tornado-S multiple launch rocket system hit the area where Ukrainian weapons and military equipment were concentrated in the Soledar-Artemovsk direction and destroyed a Ukrainian warehouse.
Ukraine launched its long-advertised offensive attempts in early June after multiple postponements. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, Ukrainian troops continue to try but are failing to advance along three directions: South Donetsk, Bakhmut and Zaporozhye, the latter being of primary focus.
