Ukraine reports heavy fighting around Avdiivka in the east

Kiev, Oct 10, (dpa/GNA) – Ukraine has reported particularly fierce Russian attacks on the city of Avdiivka in the eastern Donetsk region, which has been the location of battles for months.

“Heavy fighting is continuing north of the town,” the head of Avdiivka’s military administration, Vitaliy Barabash, said on Tuesday, according to Ukrainian media.

The head of the presidential office in Kiev, Andrii Yermak, also spoke of “massive attacks by Russian artillery.”

Ukraine has for weeks, repeatedly reported attacks by Russia along its eastern front, some of them large-scale. In the south of the country, however, the Ukrainian army has already recorded several smaller successes in the course of its counteroffensive.
