Ukraine reports heavy fighting in south, east along the front
The Ukrainian military described the situation along the frontlines in the east and south as difficult late Saturday, with the Ukrainian army repulsing 87 attempted attacks by Russian forces over the course of the day, the general staff said in a situation report.
Fighting was particularly intense on two sections of the front near the city of Donetsk, which has been controlled by Russian forces since 2014, according to the Ukrainian military.
The small town of Avdiivka, just north of Donetsk, came under renewed shelling. Fighting was almost as intense on the Mariinka front, a small town captured by Russia in late 2023.
