▪️In the Kup'yans'k sector, the enemy conducts pinpoint attacks on Russian forces' positions near Vil'shany and Lyman Pershyi. Such actions are timely suppressed by the concentrated barrel and rocket artillery fire.

▪️Wagner PMC assault units continue the operation to encircle Bakhmut. Fierce fighting is taking place on the outskirts of Khromove. While preparing for the possible retreat, Ukrainian troops blow up bridges and communication lines in the settlements.

▪️In the northern part of the city, Wagner PMC assault squads have entrenched themselves in Rechna St with fighting. The main clashes are occurring near First River Lane, moving ever closer to the industrial zone.

▪️At Zabakhmutivka, Russian forces have completely cleared the territory of the meat processing plant and are advancing further south. Trying to hold back Wagner fighters' offensive, Ukrainian troops blew up a bridge over the Bakhmutka River.

▪️To the southwest of Bakhmut, Russian forward units blockade the town and fight near the road to Kostyantynivka. At the same time, the offensive on the AFU stronghold in Krasne continues. Ukrainian positions are under constant artillery and aviation fire.
