Attacks on Donetsk region
The fiercest battles continue in the Donetsk region. Russian forces are attempting to reach the border of Donetsk and Luhansk regions but are failing to do so.
Currently, the Russian army is focusing most of its attacks on the Pokrovsk direction. Fighting remains intense in the Lyman, Toretsk, and Novopavlivka directions as well.
Additionally, the enemy continues shelling residents in cities and villages located along the front line. Kostiantynivka, in particular, has been repeatedly shelled, with an increase in enemy activity in recent times.
Notably, in November, Russia dropped two bombs on a residential area in Kostiantynivka, Donetsk region, injuring six people.
