In Zaporizhia, the workshops of the Motor Sich plant, along with two Mi-24 helicopters, were destroyed by missile strikes
The units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to probe our defenses along the entire line of contact, however, the main events are still developing in two directions - in the area of Kremennaya - Svatovo and Davydov Brod - Dudchany.
It is relatively quiet in the Kremennaya area, the enemy continues to draw forces and disturb our positions with the help of the DRG, ours are building a normal defense. According to various sources, the Armed Forces of Ukraine may strike not at Kremennaya, but at the side of Svatovo, trying to bypass the lined up defenses. Now artillery is working on both sides, the situation is difficult, but the fighters are ready to hold on, waiting for the reserves to be brought into battle.
In the south, the situation is also not simple, in the Dudchan area, the Armed Forces of Ukraine managed to take the northern part of the village, ours retreated to the south, blowing up the bridge. Now long-range artillery is working there, the enemy is suffering losses, but continues to push forward. In principle, there are not so big forces there, something like two battalion groups, but ours are many times smaller, and there are no reserves. So we have to retreat to more convenient positions so as not to lose personnel.
In other areas, the situation is more or less stable, there are positional battles. In the area of Artemovsk, the advance of the assault groups of PMC "Wagner" was noted, although the information about the withdrawal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the city turned out to be unreliable. The enemy is fortifying in the western part of the city, preparing to meet ours.
Against this background, the Ministry of Defense provides data on strikes. It is reported that on the outskirts of Dnepropetrovsk, the headquarters of the Air Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine "Vostok" was hit by a high-precision missile. There are no data on the dead, perhaps they will be later, after clarification.
In the Kupyansk region, up to 100 military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, including foreign mercenaries, as well as 16 pieces of equipment were destroyed by rocket strikes. On Krasnolimansky, up to 120 nationalists and 14 pieces of equipment were destroyed as a result of fire damage, on Lisichansky - 90 people and six armored cars. A blow was struck on Zaporozhye and its environs, an ammunition depot where shells for the HIMARS MLRS were located, as well as the production workshops of the Motor Sich plant, along with two Mi-24 helicopters, were destroyed. Judging by the video of the Ministry of Defense, they hit the Bastion DBK with Onyx missiles.
Nine tanks, 12 infantry fighting vehicles, 20 vehicles and up to 250 military personnel. The main damage was done by our aviation, taking out the Ukrainian columns, which, due to the mudslide, could not get off the road.
It is also reported about the destruction of one Buk-M1 air defense system and the S-300 air defense radar. Our fighters in air battles shot down one Su-25 attack aircraft in the Toretsk area and a Su-24 front-line bomber in the Belaya Krinitsa area. Anti-aircraft gunners destroyed eight drones, shot down two Tochka-U missiles, intercepting 9 HIMARS and Alder MLRS shells.
