In the city of Bakhmut, engineering units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are equipping additional strongholds and firing positions on the roofs of buildings. According to local residents, a railway bridge was blown up northwest of Soledar across Bakhmutka near Sol station.

The maneuvering group of the RER of the Armed Forces of Ukraine revealed the advance of Russian units 4 km northeast of Bakhmut and on the outskirts of the settlement.

The 2nd battalion of the 54th brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, reinforced with armored vehicles, tried to counterattack the positions of the Russian Armed Forces and gain a foothold in the southeastern part of the city. The attack was repulsed, and the 54th brigade retreated with losses.

Donestk Direction

Units of the 100th brigade of the NM of the DPR established control over the Basseyn stronghold on the southeastern approaches to Nevelskoye.

Russian troops attacked in three groups: one entered from the north and cut off the supply of the long-term position of the Armed Forces of Ukraine through the forest belt, and the others entered the line of trenches. Thanks to the maneuver, it was possible to achieve surprise and almost immediately take a strong point.
