“Yesterday, all day long, the crest tried to break through the defenses of the 144th division. In total, the enemy launched 6 full-fledged attacks by company tactical groups with the support of combat vehicles. The offensives were organized, as before, from three sides. Our artillery did not stop firing even for a minute. For the first time in a long time, the daily BC was shot to zero.
The crest concentrated his main efforts on the direction of the 254th regiment. And here, it is possible, without exaggeration, to note the merits of its commander Metis. Personal courage and skillfully organized management allowed our fighters to repulse all attacks of superior enemy forces. Shooting battles were fought at a distance of 50-100 meters.
The result of yesterday was about a hundred absolutely meaningless corpses of Ukrainian soldiers, burning Humvees and pickup trucks. And our troops, having retained their positions, continue their systematic, although not as swift as we would like, advance forward.

Now the Ukrainians are transferring reinforcements from Artemovsk to Vuhledar. There are three thoughts on this matter:
- our men in Ugledar created great discomfort for the Armed Forces of Ukraine,
- the Ukrainian Armed Forces, apparently, really do not have enough people, they are increasingly transferring reinforcements from flank to flank,
- Artyomovsk, the Wagnerites, as I understand it, are putting pressure on them, since the Armed Forces of Ukraine are removing their people from there and transferring them to Ugledar. Kyiv understands that it would be better to surrender Artemovsk.
11:54 Assault on Ugledar and its environscontinues.
Having uncorked the Ugledarskoe direction, the RF Armed Forces go to the rear of the enemy grouping supporting Donetsk and the bridgehead in the area of the settlement.

09:38 Telegram-channel"Russian engineer" about yesterday's raid on the Dnepropetrovsk region.
An interesting point - the rocket goes at a minimum height. In most past videos, the flight altitude is noticeably higher. According to my sources, this time the raid was much more difficult, the flight paths were varied, even very unexpected.
In Dnepropetrovsk, a military warehouse at the Interpipe plant was hit, followed by detonation of ammunition. There were no civilian casualties. And in the near future, surprises are possible, while the guys are preparing them.
