Svatovo , probing the front line of the RF Armed Forces in areas northwest and southwest of
Svatovo . The enemy is also preparing for an auxiliary strike in the
Kremennaya area . Both sides are now hastily pulling up additional forces to the front line in this sector. Intense hostilities are expected to resume soon.
2. Artemovsk.
Our troops continue to advance southwest of Artemovsk, slowly advancing through the enemy's fortified positions in the area of
Zaitsevo (not completely cleared yet) and
Otradovka (earlier the enemy was driven out from there).
Fighting is underway on the eastern outskirts of
Artemovsk. Little progress was reported in the industrial area. There is no progress in the
direction of
Kurdyumovka .
In the area of
Soledar - no significant changes.
3. Nikopol direction. After advancing at
Davydov Broda and
Dudchanthe enemy has already launched a number of attacks on the new line of defense of the Russian troops, but so far has not been seriously successful, having suffered significant losses in people and equipment.
Nevertheless, there is a concentration of additional forces in order to try to break through to
Berislav and cut off the Russian bridgehead on the right bank even more.
Serious fighting continues near
Posad-Pokrovsky ,
Ternovy Pod and
Snigirevka . The enemy continues to have the operational initiative in this direction.
4. On
Zaporozhyedirection, the enemy made a number of attempts to reconnoiter in combat, but did not achieve significant success, having suffered serious losses in people (including among mercenaries) and equipment. There is a serious possibility of an enemy offensive in the
Zaporozhye direction.
The enemy continues shelling the area of
Novaya Kakhovka and
Energodar .
Today there was an arrival at one of the railway stations in the
Mariupol region .
The train with fuel and lubricants in Ilovaisk
was also struck. The enemy is trying to disrupt the supply lines of Russian troops in the southern direction. The attempt to destroy the Crimean bridge is a step in the same direction. Fortunately, the railway bridge survived, which means that it will continue to play a significant role in supplying our troops in the
Kherson and
Zaporozhye directions.
