Avdiivka is currently embroiled in continuous fighting for the fourth day, and the situation is described as highly challenging by Vitaly Barabash, the head of the city's military administration.

According to Barabash, the ongoing conflict has been marked by relentless confrontations, including intense rifle battles and artillery duels, with both sides deploying all available resources. Aerial strikes, including air rocket attacks on the city itself, have further intensified the situation, creating a highly volatile and dangerous environment for the residents.

The Ukrainian soldiers have faced a substantial number of enemy strikes, making it difficult to provide an accurate count of the attacks. Dozens of these strikes have targeted Avdiivka itself, and the Russian forces have displayed a relentless determination, continuously attempting to storm the city, both day and night.

The Russian occupiers have employed a significant number of armored vehicles in their attacks, launching assaults in columns against the positions held by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Barabash emphasized that the Russian forces are actively working to encircle Avdiivka, concentrating on flanking attacks from the north and south. Despite these efforts, the city's defenders have so far prevented the encirclement from being completed.

Additionally, Barabash noted that the Russian forces are not limiting their attacks to front-line cities and villages; they are also shelling rear settlements. For instance, during the night, the enemy targeted the villages of the Ocheretyn community.

Logistics in Avdiivka have become increasingly challenging. The supply of humanitarian aid and basic goods to the city has been halted, despite the heightened conflict. Nevertheless, the city has stockpiled essential provisions to sustain its population for several months.
