Russian terrorists dropped about 250 bombs on Avdiivka in the Donetsk region in the first two weeks of 2024, according to Vadym Filashkin, head of the Donetsk Regional Military Administration, on Radio Liberty.
"During the first two weeks of the new year, the enemy dropped about 250 guided bombs on Avdiivka. That is, the intensity of shelling of Avdiivka has increased significantly," Filashkin says.
The city suffered 146 air strikes in 2023.
The head of the Donetsk Regional Military Administration also says that 1131 people remain in Avdiivka, and the evacuation continues. In particular, 71 residents, including 9 children, were evacuated from the front line over the past day.
Russian offensive on Avdiivka
In early October, Russian occupiers intensified fighting in the Avdiivka area. This offensive is considered the largest since 2014.
Back in mid-December, according to the White House, Russian terrorists suffered more than 13,000 casualties along the Avdiivka-Novopavlivka axis. In particular, our soldiers destroyed over 220 combat vehicles.
As the head of Avdiivka City Military Administration Vitalii Barabash said earlier, logistics remains the biggest problem for the city. Food and other essentials are delivered via only one highway, which is dangerous.
