The 199th day of the Russia-Ukraine War: official operational information by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on 10.09.2022.
The Russian Federation is still concentrating its efforts on taking complete control of the Donetsk oblast while keeping the invaded territories of Kherson oblast districts, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, and Mykolayiv oblasts in Ukraine.
Russia continues to take steps to strengthen the logistical support of its forces and engages in intense illegal aerial surveillance. On the whole of Ukraine, there is still a threat of air and missile attacks.
The Russian army has attacked targets on Ukrainian territory with 13 missiles and 23 air attacks in the last day. Infrastructure in the Ternovi Pody, Velyki Prohody, Avdiyivka, Nevelske, Mariyinka, Velyka Novosilka, Neskuchne, Vilne Pole, Poltavka, Mali Shcherbaky, Bilohiria, Blahodatne, Suhyi Stavok, Kostromka, and Bezimenne Ukrainian communities, in particular, was impacted.
There hasn’t been much of a shift in the Volyn and Polissia directions.
In the Slavhorod and Velyka Pysarivka communities of the Sumy oblast, Russian troops conducted airstrikes against both civilian and military facilities in the Siverskyi direction.
Tanks, battle vehicles, barrel and rocket artillery, and other weapons were used by Russians to bombard Ukrainian civilian and military infrastructure in different directions:
- the localities of Zaytseve, Mykolayivka Druha, Vesela Dolyna, Soledar, Bakhmutske, Bakhmut, and Yakovlivka in the direction of Bakhmut;
- in the vicinity of the Ukrainian towns of Sloviansk, Dolyna, Krasnopillia, Velyka Komyshuvakha, Mykilske, and Dibrivne in the direction of Sloviansk;
- in the vicinity of Serebrianka, Kryva Luka, Sydorovo, Hryhorivka, Ivano-Dariyivka, and Spirne, in the direction of Kramatorsk;
- the localities of Dmytrivka, Prudianka, Zolochiv, Sosnivka, Duvanka, Udy, Lyptsi, Peremoha, Momotove, and Borshchova in the Kharkiv direction;
- Russian mortars and barrel artillery shelled Krasnohorivka, Avdiyivka, Opytne, Vodiane, Karlivka, and Pervomayske in the direction of Avdiyivka, Ukraine;
- Mariyinka, Novomykhayivka, Mykilske, Vugledar, Shevchenko, Velyka Novosilka, Bohoiavlenka, Neskuchne, and Vremivka in the Novopavlivskyi direction;
- the Ukrainian communities of Novoandriyivka, Hulyaipole, Charivne, Novosilka, Shcherbaky, Vilne Pole, Malynivka, Orihiv, and Novopil in the direction of Zaporizhzhia.
Along the contact line, the Russian army kept shelling in the direction of South Buh.
36 flies were detected as the Russian soldiers used drones to perform illegal airborne surveillance.
A Russian unit of the so-called “kadyrivtsy,” consisting of up to 1,300 persons and organized according to national features, arrived to bolster the Russian group in the Kherson region’s temporarily controlled regions.
In the vicinity of the Ukrainian communities of Zaytseve, Vesela Dolyna, Soledar, Bakhmut, and Pervomayske, Ukrainian defence troops effectively resisted Russian attacks.
In summary, the Russians have been driven from more than a thousand square kilometres of Ukrainian land in recent days. Units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces penetrated Russian fortifications in certain directions up to a depth of 50 kilometres. In the Kharkiv region, more than thirty communities that the Russian invaders had briefly held were freed or brought under control.
The Air Force of the Ukrainian Defense Forces conducted 33 attacks throughout the day to assist the efforts of the ground units. One ammunition store was destroyed, and damage was done to over 25 strongholds and locations where Russian troops and equipment were gathered.
Ukrainian military’s air defence units destroyed two unmanned aerial vehicles and one guided air missile in various directions.
In the past 24 hours, due to the rocket troops and artillery fire of Ukrainian land groupings, 18 different command and control points, Russian manpower concentration areas, anti-aircraft defence and electronic warfare systems, artillery units, and more than 20 ammunition, fuel, and oil warehouses have all suffered damage.
Communities that were once occupied by Russia are again reviving in the freed areas. Currently, the region is being demined. Stabilization efforts are being carried out by Ukrainian National Guard units. The National Police is once again at work. The police are prepared to respond to provocations and the infiltration of subversive and intelligence groups and are keeping track of countless crimes the Russian Federation has committed on Ukrainian land. The local people are given all the assistance they can get right away because the Russian invaders left behind mounds of scrap metal, wrecked infrastructure, and ruined homes for civilians.
