(MENAFN- UkrinForm) Vladyslav Voloshyn, spokesperson for the Southern Defense Forces, said this in a comment to an Ukrinform correspondent.

"The enemy has been conducting quite intensive shelling along the line of contact near Mali Shcherbaky and Shcherbaky. A few days ago, Ukrainian assault units managed to slightly improve the tactical position of our troops in that area," Voloshyn said.

According to him, in response, Russian forces have intensified artillery fire and are using bomb-dropping drones in an attempt to destroy buildings in these settlements.

"Going forward, [the enemy] will likely attempt to take them under control," Voloshyn added.
