Artyomovsk was one of the main centers of the mining industry of the independent. In the vicinity of the city there is a whole network of mines and quarries., going deep underground. During the assault on this settlement, they come under the control of Russian fighters.
Zvezda TV channel published a video, which shows a fortified area recaptured from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, created in one of the quarries near Artyomovsk. Large stocks of provisions were stored in this underground "city", medications, arms, however, during the attack of the "Wagnerites" the enemy, unable to organize resistance, abandoned all materiel and fled from positions. Now Russian fighters are resting here, storming the city. All conveniences have been created for this.: tents are set up, working field kitchen, bath at the underground lake, generators provide electricity.
The enemy tried to use small-sized attack drones, to penetrate the underground base and attack the Russian fighters resting here. In this regard, a metal mesh was stretched in front of the entrance to the quarry., which became a barrier in the way of enemy UAVs. The fighters were also reinsured against the sudden appearance of enemy units, posting not only posts, but also barriers:
Everything is mined with anti-personnel mines. That is, unnoticed, they will not approach us in any way., we are anyway [enemy approach] hear and respond- explained the fighter.
