The assault on the object is complicated by the presence of a developed network of underground communications and fortified workshops, as was the case at Azovstal in Mariupol. ➖In addition, Russian forces entrenched themselves near Berkhovka and advanced towards the village of Yagodnoye. In Berkhovka itself, fighting is going on in the northern and eastern outskirts. ▪️ Positional battles continue in Bakhmut. The enemy command is preparing a reserve line of defense in Chasovoy Yar and nearby settlements in case of a retreat from Bakhmut. ▪️To the south-west, the soldiers of the 113th brigade of the TRO of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are storming the positions of the "Wagnerites" in the south-west of Krasnoye (Ivanovsky). 🔻Donetsk direction: ▪️Fighting continues in the city center near Druzhby Avenue in Marinka. The Russian Aerospace Forces attacked the positions of Ukrainian formations on the western outskirts of the settlement. ▪️AFU again conducted a massive shelling of Donetsk and other settlements of the Donetsk People's Republic. 🔻South Donets direction (map (https://t.me/rybar/43831)): ▪️Fierce fighting is going on in the private sector in the southeast of Vugledar. Russian marines attack enemy positions on the outskirts of Ugledar. ▪️Assault detachments of the 53rd and 72nd ombr of the Armed Forces of Ukraine managed to break through to the dachas to the west of Nikolsky. Fights go between Pavlovka and Nikolsky. ▪️Ukrainian forces are trying to gain a foothold in the recaptured area, waiting for the transfer of Russian military personnel. ▪️The command of the enemy transferred the crew of the MLRS HIMARS and the personnel of an unknown unit to Bogatyr. ▪️In Vugledar itself, a frontal attack on Ukrainian positions near the dominant heights bogged down and the Armed Forces of Ukraine launched a counterattack.
