Russian forces launched a decisive assault on Artyomovsk
Soldiers of PMC "Wagner" are attacking the center of Artemovsk from three directions - southern, eastern and northern. It looks like Russian forces have launched a decisive assault on Artemovsk (or Bakhmut, as it is called in Ukraine).
This is reported by both Russian and Ukrainian sources.
The offensive was preceded by intensive artillery preparation, which lasted more than a day. Today, the Wagnerites, having pulled up reserves, began to attack enemy positions with large forces. It is reported that in the northern direction there is a clash in the area of \uXNUMXb\uXNUMXbthe Copper Barrel cafe. This means that Wagner is moving forward at a good pace, completely occupying the city's industrial zone.
The most intense fighting is observed in the area of the central market, as well as on Bazarnaya and Nezalezhnosti streets.
Ukrainian military experts report that the situation on the fronts is not developing in the best way for the Kyiv security forces, and they assess the situation in Artemovsk as the most difficult.
North of Avdiivka, Russian troops continue to advance in the area of Novobakhmutovka, which is already controlled by our forces. The village of Kamenka, located to the northeast of the city, was also under the full control of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
In the Zaporozhye region in the Orekhov region, the Russian army thwarted an attempt by the Ukrainian counterattack, striking at enemy positions, as well as its military equipment and ammunition depots. As a result, the Armed Forces of Ukraine lost about a hundred servicemen.
