Temporary deployment points of enemy engineering and mechanized units in city outpatient clinic No. 2 and kindergarten No. 15 were hit, as a result of which more than ten personnel were killed, and over 20 were injured of varying degrees of severity.

The city police department and the Security Service of Ukraine were also hit, but there is no information about the presence of personnel inside at the time of arrival. In addition, one of the missiles hit near the territory of Megatex LLC, where the positional area of ??operation of the enemy’s electronic warfare system is located.

South of the microdistrict. Channel paratroopers from the 98th division are trying to knock out the Ukrainian fascists from a commanding height. The TOS-1 crew processes the height together with bomb launchers.

South of the Popovsky Forest, almost the entire territory is controlled by our forces.

The enemy is trying to maintain control of the road from Ivanovsky to Kleshcheevka. Since this road is the only one that can accommodate wheeled vehicles, the rest of the roads are only country roads and only tracked vehicles can drive through the mud.

The enemy is also trying to hold the forest regiment between the Chernobylets and Ivanovsky stations and regularly uses this logistics route to supply the group. We use aerial surveillance to identify moving targets and regularly hit the enemy with loitering ammunition.
