Yesterday, on January 24, pro-Russian Telegram channels reported explosions in Ilovaisk in the afternoon. There were also reports of alleged strikes.
ASTRA claims that a military training ground in the settlement of Pokrovka near Ilovaisk was attacked. Russians blamed Ukraine and stated that the shelling was carried out with HIMARS MLRS.
According to Russian media, there were allegedly casualties and wounded Russian military personnel as a result of the shelling. The number of casualties is unknown.
Ukraine has not officially confirmed the strike and has not commented on the situation.
Situation on the front
In the summer, Ukrainian forces conducted a counteroffensive in the east and south of Ukraine, successfully liberating over a dozen settlements in the Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia regions.
Currently, Russian occupiers have intensified attacks on the front lines. In particular, aggressors are attempting to break through the Ukrainian defense in the areas of Avdiivka, Maryinka, Kupiansk, and Lyman. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are holding back attempts by Russian occupiers.
Updates on the situation in Avdiivka, where Russians are pressing, and whether there are new threats to the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the front line, are available in the overview by RBC-Ukraine.
