Russian Artillery strikes reduced maybe due to HIMARS
[Institute for the Study of War (ISW)] Ukraine's destruction of Russian ammunition depots using HIMARS is likely one of several factors that reduced the quantity of observed heat anomalies in Donbas between July 10-15. The reduced number of observed heat anomalies also corresponds in part to the assessed Russian operational pause from July 6 to July 15. The number of observed heat anomalies began increasing on July 15; the day ISW assessed that Russian forces began emerging from their operational pause.The intensity of Russian artillery attacks along the Slovyansk-Bakhmut axis in the coming days may clarify the degree to which the reduction in intensity was due to the operational pause or the result of Ukrainian attacks.
