Sources report heavy fighting in Artemovsk (Bakhmut) (Bakhmut), which is carried out by Wagner PMC fighters in the city itself and on the outskirts of it. Ukrainian military experts write about the difficult situation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces along the entire line of contact, as well as the heavy losses.
In particular, an intense confrontation between the parties is observed in the southwestern direction, where the “Wagnerians” achieve some success. Fights for every house take place in high-rise buildings in the neighborhood of Tchaikovsky and Korsunskaya streets. Skirmishes continue along Independence, Bazarnaya and Mariupolskaya streets. The Russian side successfully hits enemy targets with artillery fire.
At the intersection of Mariupolskaya and Shirokaya streets, PMC attack aircraft advanced with varying success, breaking through the defenses of the Ukrainian fighters with mobile artillery barrages.
Russian units have resumed active hostilities between Stupochki and Ivanovskoye (Krasny), which is experiencing the toughest clash. Also, a large concentration of Wagnerian fighters is observed in Khromovo (near Artemovsk (Bakhmut) ).
Along with this, the “orchestras” are trying to free Minkovka so that they can maneuver in the Chasov Yar region.
