Russians fired mortars at residential areas of temporarily occupied Oleshky in the Kherson region to blame it on the Ukrainian Defense Forces

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported this.

This is how the Russians are trying to discredit the Ukrainian military and intimidate the residents of the temporarily occupied part of the Kherson region.

The Russians continue to focus their main efforts on conducting offensive operations in the Kupiansk, Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiivka, and Shakhtarske directions and increasing the number of personnel there.

Up to 200 conscripts from the Rostov region were transferred to the temporarily occupied territory of the Luhansk region.

Due to heavy losses, the temporary occupation "authorities" are setting up military hospitals in the civilian hospitals. About 150 wounded servicemen of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation were brought to the hospital of temporarily occupied Kalanchak. According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the hospital's medical staff is exclusively Russian.

During the day, Russians launched 8 missile and 28 air strikes, 12 of them by Iranian Shahed-136 strike UAVs. The Russian army also carried out over 55 attacks from multiple launch rocket systems.

Ukrainian Defense Forces aviation conducted four strikes on the areas where Russian troops were concentrated.
