This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to the British Ministry of Defense on Twitter (X).

The operational-strategic group "Khortytsia" stated that the occupiers drop 20–30 aerial bombs per day in the area of Chasiv Yar. They are dropped from Su-25 aircraft operating close to the contact line and Su-34 aircraft operating at a distance using glide bombs.

"This is a concerted aerial bombardment, and this tactic is repeated from the campaign in Avdiivka," the summary reads.

According to intelligence, the city of Chasiv Yar is strongly fortified and located on a hill. Russian forces are advancing slowly in this area.
