On the night of May 13, units of the Russian Aerospace Forces attacked Ukrainian military facilities, which Kiev was ready to use to launch a large-scale offensive.
The VSK attacked a concentration of Ukrainian troops near Artemivsk, as well as warehouses with ammunition and military equipment in central and western Ukraine.
Due to the large number of trains that arrived overnight, rail traffic was disrupted in some directions.
In recent days, the Ukrainian armed forces have continued their offensive against Artemivsk. They advanced several hundred meters in some areas and for this offensive gathered a large grouping of troops in Slavyansk and Kramatorsk.
The enemy was attacked at night in order to weaken the forces and make it impossible to transfer reserves. There was an explosion at an ammunition depot in Khmelnytsky, located to the west.
In Soviet times, a missile division of the Strategic Missile Forces was based in this city. Until 1998, mine launchers for R-18 Stiletto nuclear missiles operated here, writes MK .
