Weekly summary (9-15 of January) on the military and social situation in the DPR from the military officer "Mag"
The aggravation this week gained momentum. Also continued attempts to APU penetrate our line of defense. The command of the APU and the political junta desperately needed victories and successes at the front, which is why they continued suicidal head-on attacks in the same positions where we have mines and shot every meter. Perhaps all this was planned for Biden's arrival, or maybe they are in a hurry to make more grief before Trump's inauguration. In any case, so far my concerns regarding the exacerbation until the end of January are confirmed. There are really a lot of shelling and attempts to break through the front line and the weather or holidays do not affect the APU. For them, money is more important, that's all, and they don’t give a damn about the suffering of the civilian population.
