The enemy continues to focus its efforts on attempts to fully occupy the Donetsk region, hold the temporarily captured territories and disrupt the active actions of our troops in certain areas.

This was announced on Facebook by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the evening of the 202nd day of the Ukrainians' heroic resistance to the Russian military invasion.

The Russian occupiers continue shelling our positions along the contact line, try to take measures to regroup their troops in separate directions, conduct aerial reconnaissance. There remains a threat of enemy air and missile strikes throughout the territory of Ukraine.

The enemy continues to attack civilians and civilian infrastructure objects, violating the norms of international humanitarian law, laws and customs of warfare. Infrastructure in the areas of the settlements of Bilogorivka, Mykolaivka, Verkhnyokamianske, Vesela Dolyna, Zaitseve, Yuryivka, New York, Pervomaiske, Kamianka, Vremivka, Stepove, Mali Shcherbaki was damaged by Russian air strikes and missile strikes, fire from enemy anti-aircraft missiles , Suhy Stavok, Kostromka, Bila Krynytsia and Myrne.

Ukrainian offensive
During the day, the enemy launched two missile strikes, eight air strikes and conducted 13 shellings from rocket artillery systems on objects on the territory of Ukraine.

In the Volyn and Poliske directions , the situation has not changed significantly. As part of the command and staff training at the "Brestsky" training ground, the armed forces of the Republic of Belarus worked out the action with live fire to repulse the attack of a conditional enemy, with its further displacement outside the country.

In other directions, the enemy fired at our infrastructure from tanks, mortars and artillery, namely:

in the Seversky direction - in the areas of the settlements of Mikhalchyna Sloboda, Gai of Chernihiv Oblast and Kharkivka, Tovstodubov, Gudove, Atynske and Stukalyvka of Sumy Oblast;

in the Kharkiv direction – Kozacha Lopan, Baranivka, Kupyansk;

in the Kramatorsk direction – Yaremivka, Mayaki, Pryshyb, Bilogorivka, Sloviansk, Kramatorsk, Stary Karavan, Starodubivka, Spirne, Verkhnyokamianske, Rozdolivka, Hryhorivka and Zakitne;

in the Bakhmut direction – Sukha Balka, Mykolaivka Druga, Zaitseve, Soledar, Bakhmut, Bakhmutske, Vesela Dolyna, Yakovlivka and Viimka;

in the Avdiiv region – Avdiivka, Orlivka, Lastochkine, Krasnohorivka, Opytne, Vodyane, Pervomaiske, Maryinka and Novomykhailivka;

in the Novopavlovsk direction – Vugledar, Prechistivka, Novoukrainka and Vremivka;

in the Zaporizhzhya region – Kamianske, Mala Tokmachka, Shcherbaki, Mali Shcherbaki, Charivne, Nesteryanka, Orihiv, Biloghirya, Gulyaipilske, Zaliznychne, Temyrivka and Novopil;

More than 25 settlements were hit by artillery fire in the South Buz region. In addition, the enemy intensively carried out aerial reconnaissance by UAVs, making about 70 sorties.

Russian occupation troops continue looting. Thus, on the section of the Starobilsk - Luhansk highway, in the direction of Luhansk, about 300 civilian cars, mostly with state license plates of the Kharkiv region , were marked . Most of the vehicles with trailers loaded with looted property are driven by Russian military personnel.

A similar trend is observed in settlements of temporarily occupied territories in the south of Ukraine. In the town of Pology, Zaporizhzhia region, Russian occupiers are breaking down the gates of private garages and taking private cars from local residents. In Novaya Kakhovka, Kherson region, the invaders began to massively remove furniture and household appliances from temporarily abandoned settlements.

The Russian military leadership is taking measures to replenish the occupying army with junior officers. According to available information, the early graduation of the cadets of the 5th year of the "Black Sea Higher Naval School named after Nakhimov" was announced in December of this year. Also, early graduations will take place in other educational institutions of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

The shortage of tactical-level commanders is due to the refusal of reserve officers to sign contracts amid recent events. The level of morale and psychological state of the enemy's personnel continues to decrease. Among the occupiers, the practice of self-mutilation is becoming more and more widespread in order to get treatment at a medical institution and to avoid participating in hostilities on the territory of Ukraine. A significant part of servicemen do not return to military units after the end of their vacations.

Defense forces successfully repelled enemy attacks in the areas of Zaytseve, Odradivka, Bakhmut, Bakhmutske, Vesela Dolyna, Avdiivka, Bezimenne and Novogrigorivka settlements.

During the day, in order to support the actions of the ground groups, the aviation of the Defense Forces carried out two strikes on the positions and places of concentration of the enemy's manpower and equipment.

Units of the Missile Forces and artillery inflicted damage on control points, areas of concentration of manpower and combat equipment of the enemy. It was also confirmed that on September 11 of this year, the enemy's ammunition depots in the Kherson area were destroyed.
