13:51 As a result of the strike of Ukrainian troops on Stakhanov in the LPR, residential buildings, including high-rise buildings, and a medical facility, which was the goal of Kyiv, were damaged, said a military expert, retired LPR Lieutenant Colonel Andrei Marochko.

As previously reported, Ukrainian troops on Tuesday fired two rockets at Stakhanov from the HIMARS MLRS.

“According to preliminary data, there is destruction of 10 private houses, two apartment buildings and one medical institution. I want to note that by the nature of the blow, the target was the medical institution itself.

1) Our advance in the eastern part (meat processing plant, industrial zone, Zabakhmutka) of the city continues, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are no longer holding the building so steadfastly. Apparently, the troops are indeed being withdrawn.

2) In the north of Artemovsk, the Wagners received a stable foothold on the other side of the Bakhmutka and are now entering the finish line to secure the blockade of Artemovsk from the north.

3) In the south, the front is already about 1.5 km from the Artemovsk-Chasov Yar-Konstantinovka highway. The time of the battles for Krasnoe and the beginning of the battles for Chasov Yar is approaching.

For us, as before, the main point and chance for success is the congestion of the Ukrainian operational command in the area and the possible chaos during the retreat from Artemovsk and the creation of a new line of defense.
