Ukraine claims it launched 14 airstrikes on positions of Russian forces

Ukraine on Sunday claimed that it launched 14 airstrikes on areas where Russian forces are concentrated.

The air force carried out 14 airstrikes over the past day, hitting areas where enemy personnel are stationed, Ukraine's General Staff said in a statement on Facebook, adding: 'Our defenders also destroyed 2 anti-aircraft missile systems.'

The statement also claimed that Ukrainian missiles and artillery struck three control points, five ammunition depots, and three artillery units in the past day, adding that Russian forces carried out 43 airstrikes and four missile strikes, in addition to firing a salvo of 51 rockets.

Russia is concentrating its war efforts in the directions of Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiivka, and Marinka, where it claimed that 26 clashes took place during the day, it noted.

According to the statement, operational situation in the Volyn and Polesia has not changed significantly, while Russian forces continue to conduct defensive operations in the directions of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson.

Russian forces are deserting in Luhansk, it added.

Russian authorities have not yet commented on the claims, and independent confirmation is difficult due to the ongoing war.

On June 10, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy declared that the Ukrainian army is taking "appropriate counteroffensive and defensive actions" against Russia on the front line.
