"Heavy shelling continued throughout the night. Around the clock, we hear gunfire from the positions. They are firing with everything they have. The so-called 'reduction' of tension that we had in our direction for several days, unfortunately, we observed the opposite yesterday," he said.
According to him, "the enemy does not stop trying to encircle the city and find vulnerabilities." Currently, due to the escalation, humanitarian aid is not being delivered to Avdiivka. There are still around 1,600 people in the city.
