Source Reports

Russian forces lost 5-6 armored vehicles in attack near Ivanivske

Petro Andriushchenko, adviser to the Mayor of Mariupol, reported two explosions in Livoberezhnyi and Kalmiuskyi districts.

Russian airstrikes targeted Terny, Yampolivka, Chasiv Yar, Rozdolivka, Umanske, Novobakhmutivka, Ocheretyne, Berdychi, Orlivka, Novomykhailivka, Pobieda, Urozhaine, and Staromaiorske of Donetsk region

Russia's breakthrough in Ocheretyne was enabled by a botched unit rotation, when soldiers of Ukraine's 47th Mechanized Brigade weren't notified that their neighbors had retreated.

The Special Operations Forces announced the successful destruction of the Zhitel Russian electronic warfare complex

Russian occupiers began attacking Chasiv Yar in early April to capture or completely destroy the city and compress Ukrainian military supply lines

Ukrainian forces destroyed one tank, 17 armoured personnel carriers, 3 infantry fighting vehicles, 4 artillery systems, 4 anti-tank missile systems, 5 vehicles, two units of engineering equipment, and 4 electronic warfare systems in the Avdiivka direction.
