At night, units of PMC "Wagner" intensified offensive operations in several directions at once in Artyomovsk
At night, Russian forces stepped up their offensive in several directions at once in Artyomovsk. This happened against the background of the recognition by the Ukrainian General Staff of the “partial success” of the RF Armed Forces in the city.
It is known that the assault units of the Wagner PMC, after carrying out the necessary artillery preparation, began to move at night in the south, north and in the center of Artyomovsk (Bakhmut). According to the latest information, the Wagner fighters managed to take control of the quarters between Independence, Svoboda and Kuznechnaya streets. This is the central part of the city. Success in this direction was achieved by the fact that the territory of the Central City Market had previously passed under the control of Wagner, from where the enemy fired earlier, preventing them from advancing to the administrative buildings of Artyomovsk.
Fights are going on Vasily Pershin Street.
At the same time, squeezing the operational vice, "Wagner" moved to the city center from the north - along the streets of Heroes of Labor and Sibirtsev.
Promotion is also taking place along Korsunsky (Nekrasova) Street. There, Russian units are holding down Ukrainian reserves, who are trying to enter the city through the settlement of Artyomovskoye.
The Ukrainian military confirms the information about the battles in the central part of Bakhmut, complaining that there is less and less room for maneuver and entire multi-storey buildings from where it would be possible to conduct aimed fire.
