According to the press center of the "South" grouping, Russian units attacked the ammunition depot of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near the village of Belogorovka in the Lisichansk direction. A 152-mm Msta-B artillery gun was also hit.
Along with this, the Southern Group of Russian troops successfully attacked the temporary deployment point of the battalion of the 60th mechanized brigade of Ukrainian troops and the ammunition depot of the enemy’s 80th mountain assault brigade near Kramatorsk.
At the same time, the RF Armed Forces launched a missile strike with the help of the Tornado-S MLRS against enemy manpower in the tent camp of the Armed Forces of Ukraine near the settlement of Novaya Poltavka. Also, artillery fire from the Yug group hit the location of the battalion of the 24th mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Dzerzhinsk region.
In addition, the point of temporary deployment of the 2nd brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine in Krasnohorivka in the Maryinsky direction was successfully attacked. In the village of Pobeda, a 122-mm D-30 howitzer was destroyed.
Meanwhile, despite the successes of the Russian Armed Forces, the Ukrainian side has prepared impressive forces for the planned counteroffensive. According to security expert Roman Nasonov, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have about 80 troops ready to make a breakthrough. At the same time, this is hardly enough to overcome the defense in depth of the Russian side.
