The enemy continues to concentrate its main efforts on conducting offensive operations in the Limansky, Bakhmutsky, Avdeevsky and Maryinsky directions. Actively uses operational-tactical and army aviation. Bakhmut and Marinka remain at the epicenter of hostilities. During the day, our defenders repulsed more than 45 enemy attacks in the indicated sectors of the front, the General Staff reported.

The enemy launched 25 missile strikes from the S-300 air defense system on the peaceful cities of Zaporozhye and Kamyshevakh in the Zaporozhye region, as well as Snigirevka in the Mykolaiv region. There are dead and wounded among the civilian population, multi-storey and private residential buildings, civilian educational institutions, hospitals, churches and other civilian infrastructure have been destroyed and damaged.

In the Avdeevka direction, the enemy conducted offensive operations in the areas of Novokalinovoye, Severny, Vodyanoy and Pervomaisky of the Donetsk region, but was not successful. He carried out shelling of more than 15 settlements located not far from the collision line.

In the Maryinsky direction, our defenders repelled numerous enemy attacks in the Maryinka area.

Aviation of the Defense Forces delivered 5 strikes per day on the areas of concentration of personnel and the anti-aircraft missile system of the occupiers.
Our defenders shot down 4 enemy UAVs (2 of the Orlan-10 type, 1 reconnaissance Eleron and 1 Lancet kamikaze drone).

During the day, missile and artillery units hit a command post, an anti-aircraft missile system, an area where the enemy’s manpower, weapons and military equipment are concentrated, a composition of fuel and lubricants and 2 enemy ammunition depots.

According to the General Staff, the Russian invaders continue to rob the civilian population of Ukraine, appropriating the grain harvest of citizens. For example, in the city of Berdyansk, Zaporozhye region, the so-called Russian occupation “authority” is trying to take out stolen corn by loading it onto barges.

At the same time, the Russian occupiers continue the forced passportization of the population of the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. In particular, in the village of Tavria in the Kherson region, the invaders are actively making home rounds of local residents in order to check the presence of a Russian passport. Citizens of Ukraine who did not receive a Russian passport were informed that if documents are not issued before June 1, they will be deported with confiscation of all personal property.

At the front, the Russian occupation troops continue to suffer heavy losses. All medical facilities in the temporarily occupied territory are overflowing with wounded invaders. As a result, the enemy is using the civilian educational institutions of the temporarily occupied territories for his own purposes.

So, in the village of Vysokoe, Zaporozhye region, the occupiers equipped the sports hall of the local school as a military hospital. Medical services are provided exclusively to Russian servicemen.

As of April 15, about 100 occupiers with injuries of varying severity were under treatment.

Earlier, we reported that the Wagner mercenary group, with which the Ukrainian military is fighting in Donbass, in order to replenish its ranks, kidnaps Russian soldiers and forces them to sign contracts.
