The Russian occupiers have a new target on the Maryinka front. They aim to gain control over the village of Novomykhailivka in the Donetsk region, according to a statement from the spokesperson for the Defense Forces of the Tavria direction, Oleksandr Shtupun.

“The enemy is most active on the Maryinka and Avdiivka fronts. Specifically, they are attempting to encircle Avdiivka, and now they have a new objective – trying to advance towards Novomykhailivka to take it entirely,” notes Shtupun.

He specifies that for over a week, Russians have been launching over fifty attacks on average per day in that area.

According to the spokesperson, the occupiers are also more actively employing their armored vehicles and have intensified airstrikes. In the past day alone, the enemy used aviation weaponry 41 times.

Maryinka battles

A few weeks ago, Russian occupiers claimed to have supposedly fully captured Maryinka in the Donetsk region. Later, Shtupun refuted this information, stating that Ukrainian defenders continued to fight for the city.

The next day, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Valerii Zaluzhnyi, acknowledged that some Ukrainian forces had withdrawn from Maryinka, but the city was not fully occupied yet.
