The occupying army advances in Donetsk region.
The enemy attacks near Bakhmut continue unabated. This is currently one of the toughest sections on the front line. Battles flare up on the outskirts of the civilian settlements of Chasiv Yar and on the eastern bank of the "Siversky Donets - Donbas" canal.
This is stated in the story of TSN correspondent Margarita Potapova.
What are the tactics of the occupiers in the Avdiivka direction
More than a dozen Russian tanks and 8 BMPs were burned down during a single assault. A battle that has already entered the history of the Russian-Ukrainian war.
The 25th Separate Airborne Brigade "Sicheslav" prevented the occupiers from advancing in the Avdiivka direction near Tonenke. The Russians over and over again stormed the positions of our defenders, who only had time to reload their weapons, firing in the direction of the occupiers.
The Russians' plan on this section of the front is to attack towards Umanske in order to improve their position to the south in the area of Pervomaiske, with the intention of fully capturing it. Blowing up the dam by Russian forces near Umanske, through which the main logistics of Ukrainian forces towards Netaylove passed, was an attempt by the occupiers to dislodge our defense forces from there.
How realistic this idea of the invaders is and how critical it will be for the Ukrainian forces, and given the situation on the flanks of the defense line, will become clear, obviously, in the coming days.
The occupiers' attacks in the direction of Bakhmut
In the Bakhmut direction, Ukrainian pilots of attack drones manage to disrupt Russian ammunition supply logistics. Near Klishchiivka, the occupiers experienced explosive fireworks from the detonation of their own ammunition. The aerial reconnaissance of the paratroopers of the 80th Galician Brigade promptly targeted enemy positions, allowing our infantrymen to rest for a while from enemy shelling.
Also, during the night, the Russians, with the support of heavy equipment, attempted to advance on our troops' forward positions. This assault turned out to be unsuccessful for the Russian commanders, who planned it, and it became fatal for the enemy infantry.
The "ACHILLES" Battalion of Unmanned Aircraft Systems from the 92nd Separate Mechanized Brigade successfully repelled another enemy attack in the area of Chasiv Yar. The unit continues to set daily records in destroying Russian military equipment: the assault teams of the Brigade named after Ivan Sirko burn ten enemy armored vehicles a day!
The Russians are pushing heavily towards Ivanivske and advancing near Bohdanivka. Due to the overwhelming number of shells, air support, and blocking detachments, driving Russian infantry forward, the occupiers have made littleprogress on the Bakhmut sector. They have been unable to reach Chasiv Yar through Ivanivske, along Route 0504, in depth of the valley. However, the Russians managed to reach Green Street on the eastern outskirts of Chasiv Yar via Highway 00506. But Ukrainian forces swiftly counterattacked, pushing back the enemy forces far beyond the town limits to their original positions.
