Russian troops unsuccessfully tried to storm Ukrainian defensive positions from the flanks around Chasovyi Yar in Donetsk region.

The Russian army is trying to storm the positions of the Defense Forces from the flanks around Chasovyi Yar in Donetsk region, but is not successful. This was announced on Thursday by the National Guard spokesman Ruslan Muzychuk during a telethon, UNN reports

Over the course of the day, the enemy made active attempts to attack in the Liman, Bakhmut, Avdiivka, Novopavlivka and Orikhivsk directions.  As for the Bakhmut direction,  it is the area of Chasovyi Yar

- said Muzychuk.

According to him, the enemy was actively using artillery and firing from multiple rocket launchers, in particular in the eastern areas. Over the last day, 176 enemy attacks took place in the eastern sector and 97 in the southern sector.

Now we see that the enemy is trying to be quite active in the Chasovyi Yar area. These are not only frontal attacks, but also attempts to assault from the flanks and relatively populated areas around Chasovyi Yar, which the enemy may consider as potential areas that can in some way ensure its advancement

- said the National Guard spokesman.

 However, our Defense Forces do not allow the enemy to gain a foothold, the spokesman emphasized.

On April 23, the mayor's advisor Petro Andriushchenko reported that the Russian occupation forces are trying to strengthen their positions near Marinka and Chasovyi Yar, so they are bringing in reinforcements
