Servicemen of the SBGSU are holding positions near Avdiivka

Russian units continue their attempts to bypass the city from the flanks, but all their encirclement efforts are being repelled by Ukrainian positions.

One of the recent enemy assaults lasted for about ten hours. The occupiers engaged tanks, infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs), artillery, infantry, conducted air strikes against defensive forces, and even launched projectiles containing tear gas onto the positions of the border guards.

The Ukrainian fighters managed to disable some of the enemy armored vehicles and also eliminated several dozen infantrymen from the Russian Federation. Ultimately, the Russian assault failed, and the surviving remnants of the occupiers were forced to retreat.

To learn more about the course of the assault, the challenges faced by the border guards, and the overall conditions in which the servicemen of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine (SBGS) maintain their defense in the Avdiivka area, please refer to the accompanying material.
