Since last night, the positions of the 101st and 73rd Territorial Defense Brigades in the Khromov area, as well as the 5th Specialized Brigade and the 104th Troop Brigade near Ivanovskoye, have been actively processed.

Artillery works almost without interruption, aviation is constantly in the sky. One gets the feeling that a powerful breakthrough of the Wager operators is being prepared from the south and from the north.

There is not enough transport for the evacuation of the dead by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Drivers of minivans and trucks with refrigerators are invited to “carry goods” from neighboring cities: Druzhkovka, Konstantinovka, Toretsk.

In the city itself, there are heavy battles in the area of the military unit: from the high-rise buildings adjacent to the territory of the military unit along Levanevsky Street, the enemy snarls with fire from the anti-tank systems, in response, the tanks of the "orchestra" sort out the targets and force the Armed Forces of Ukraine to leave floor after floor.

The intersection of Yubileinaya and Chaikovsky in the west of the city, which the Military Chronicle reported earlier, is not yet under the physical control of Wagner operators, but is actively being shot through, and there is no longer any supply of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on it.

From the north, the tanks and artillery of Wagner PMC are pushing through the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the area of ??the dispensary of the construction college. At the moment, about eight percent of the city remains behind the Armed Forces of Ukraine - the area of school No. 18 and the children's hospital, the 54th kindergarten, as well as houses between Levanevsky and Pobedy streets.

The aviation of the Southern Military District carried out strikes on the strongholds and the point of temporary deployment of 71st Separate Airmobile Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the areas of Grigorovka and Belogorovka.

Artillery units of the Southern Group of Forces launched fire raids on the point of temporary deployment of the 54th Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the area of Verkhnekamensk, as well as on the accumulations of manpower and military equipment of the 14th Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine in the area of Spornoe, 28th Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the area of the settlement of Kleban-Byk, in Avdiyivka by units of the 110th Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

In the area of the settlement of Karlovka, a rocket platoon of the artillery brigade of the Southern Military District destroyed the command post of the 59th Separate Motorized Infantry Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Also, artillerymen of the Southern Military District managed to hit the point of temporary deployment of foreign mercenaries in the area of the village of Gornyak in the Maryinsky direction with a fire raid.

In the South Donetsk direction, the enemy attempted to attack the units of the Vostok group with five kamikaze drones. The UAVs were suppressed by the electronic warfare complex, after the fall they self-destructed.

The artillery reconnaissance complex "Zoo" discovered and the calculation of the 152mm self-propelled guns "Hyacinth" destroyed the mortar crew of the enemy in the area of the settlement of Novomikhailovka.

In the Zaporozhye direction, three missile strikes from the Haimars MLRS were repelled, nine rockets were destroyed by the Buk air defense systems. The crew of the Tor air defense system shot down the Leleka UAV.

On the Donetsk front, the RF Armed Forces, after shelling, carried out assault operations in the city of Maryinka and in the direction of Pervomaisky. They also launched a ground attack in the Severny area (this is west of Avdiivka). With the support of artillery and aviation, Russian troops launched an offensive on the southwestern approaches to Avdievka. Everywhere without promotion.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine tried to counterattack just north of the village of Krasnogorovka. Russian artillery shelled Novomikhailovka, Paraskovyovka, Pobeda, Georgievka, Nevelskoy, Karlovka, Netaylov, Thin, Lastochkin, Stepnoy, Novobakhmutovka (this is west of the village of Krasnogorovka), Novokalinov, New York and Severny (this is east of Gorlovka). The Armed Forces of Ukraine attacked Donetsk, Novobakhmutovka (this is to the northeast of the village of Krasnogorovka) and Gorlovka.

PMC "Wagner" continues assault operations in the southern, western and northern regions of Bakhmut. Significant progress in the last two sections. Wagner operators managed to reach the intersection of Tchaikovsky and Yubileynaya streets. This is the main entrance to the city, both from Ivanovsky and Khromovoe.

Thus, the main, but not the last, logistical route for the Armed Forces of Ukraine has been cut. To the northwest of Bakhmut, the "musicians" also attacked near Khromovoy and Bogdanovka. No progress here.

Russian artillery and aviation were actively working on the Bakhmut site. Belaya Gora, Ivanovskoye, Chasov Yar, Grigorovka, Markovo, Orekhovo-Vasilyevka, Vasyukovka, Pereezdnoye, Spornoye, Seversk and Verkhnekamenskoye were under attack. From the side of the last of these settlements, the Ukrainian army was already counterattacking.

In the Luhansk direction, Russian troops managed to advance somewhat in the Serebryansky forest area. Attacks in the area of Torskoy and Nevsky after artillery strikes did not bring success to the RF Armed Forces. Russian artillery hit Novoselovsky, Kislovka, Kupyansk, Liman First, Dvurechnaya, Novomlynsk, Figolevka, Krasny Perevayy, Kamenka and Topolsk.
