The enemy constantly tries to assault. Mainly in such attacks in the Vovchansk area, Storm-Z units are involved, consisting of Russians who for various reasons ended up in prisons where they were recruited.
This can be called a one-way infantry rotation - they sent a unit, it did not return, and they are looking for a replacement.
In the North Slobozhanskyi and Kursk directions, the enemy attacked the positions of our defenders twice today and carried out 88 attacks on the positions of our troops and populated areas, including one using a multiple launch rocket system.
