A plane of unknown origin crashed near Artemovsk (Bakhmut) . Ukrainian telegram channels claim that a Su-24 Wagner PMC bomber was shot down. The Russian side has not yet commented on the incident. Nothing is known of the fate of the pilots. The video shows a descending parachute canopy, but the crew of the Su-24 consists of two people.
Since the video was first published on Ukrainian channels, the probability of hitting a Russian plane is extremely high.
Meanwhile, Artemovsk (Bakhmut) continues to be the most tense point on the Special Operation front map. According to the latest reports, the “musician” units already occupy more than half of the city, the most active battles are taking place in the industrial zone.
The adviser to the acting head of the DPR Denis Pushilin, Yan Gagin, on the air of the Rossiya 24 TV channel, clarified the details of the current situation in Artemovsk (Bakhmut) .
Quite serious battles, because the industrial zone, specially fortified and prepared as a fortress, is a very serious object. It is very difficult to storm it. During the assault, the Russian military, in particular, relied on the experience gained in Soledar. I’m sure everything will be fine in the end. The city will be taken anyway
said Yan Gagin.
Despite the active advance of Wagner’s assault squads, the enemy has not yet surrendered. In addition, in the area of Konstantinovka and Chasov Yar, there is a transfer of reserves to attempt a possible counter-offensive.
