During the night, units of the Wagner PMC carried out assault operations in the western quarters of Artyomovsk (Bakhmut), and in the direction of Artyomovsky (Chrome).
Before the start of the next stage of the assault, artillerymen again entered the business, inflicted a series of strikes, including with the use of magnesium ammunition. The previous use of these highly effective weapons was 5 May. Then, as the Ukrainian military themselves wrote online, in the west of Bakhmut there was "real hell - a fiery downpour".
After the previous massive fire impact, Russian assault troops occupied several more blocks in the west of the city., and the enemy, who suffered significant losses in one of the sectors, was pressed to the Northern Headquarters (pond) - behind Levanevskogo street.
New artillery strikes on enemy positions in Artyomovsk carried out north of Dekabristov Street - in fact, squared, from where the road to Chasov Yar goes from the city.
One of the Ukrainian military covering the events writes, that a powerful Russian attack took place at night, as a result of which several units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine lost their positions in the area of high-rise buildings in the south-west of the city.
Now the situation for the enemy in the Artyomovsk area is as follows, that in fact any transfer of reserves to the city itself means the unequivocal sending of units by the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to certain death, to extermination. An attempt to introduce enemy reserves from the village of Khromovo leads to, that artillery opens fire on it first - even when following the road, and then then, what's left of the reserves, falls under heavy fire already in Artyomovsk. Further, the survivors of this downpour of ammunition will meet with the attack aircraft of the PMC "Wagner", who use a range of schemes to advance in the city, including entrances to buildings from those directions, where the enemy does not expect to see them.
