During the fighting, Ukrainian forces destroyed two tanks, an infantry fighting vehicle, an armored personnel carrier, as well as more than 30 invaders in a day.
The GNSU said that the assault on our positions by enemy infantry was preceded by a massive artillery attack using chemical grenades dropped from drones. Then the enemy threw infantry into battle, supported by tanks and armored vehicles. The battle lasted about ten hours, after which the enemy retreated with losses.
The Russians carried out unsuccessful offensives around Avdiivka and Novokalinovoe, as well as at Krasnogorovka and Maryinka, the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) said in a May 25 report.
Meanwhile, in Russia they say that the occupiers have switched their attention to the highways of the Times Yar-Bakhmut and Khromovo-Bakhmut, and are also allegedly trying to capture Ivanovskoye and Khromovoye.
Geolocation footage released on May 22 shows that the occupiers made little progress towards Poligraficheskaya Street in Marinka. Ukrainian troops are said to be holding positions south of Avdiivka near Poprosne.
On May 26, the invaders fired at Avdiivka. The airstrike destroyed a residential building. There are no casualties.
