Seven housing constructions were damaged in the Kuibyshevsky and Petrovsky districts of Donetsk, Aleksandrovka. Damage to civil infrastructure facilities was not recorded.

Previous 26 artillery attacks were recorded from the side of the VFU during the day.

22:03 Couple of radio intercepts from the Zaporozhye region. They can be heard as in English and Russian with a clear non-local accent, the fire of Ukrainian artillery is corrected. Looks like a conversation between two communicators, a couple of callsigns (L02VU and Lima in the first intercept), a shitty sound, everything is as usual in such cases. In the second - the transmission of the code by circular over medium wave communication: KG 04TsGS, where the latter is clearly the message code, in response to which a female voice announces the receipt.

21:58 Video- The Lancet hits the Ukrainian 122mm D-30 in the Bakhmut direction with an accurate blow.

21:28 Video- Russian City at work.

20:42 I'll tell you a little fact about what I saw alone and one of the reasons why country 404 needs demilitarization and denazification !!!

It happened the other day, our car drove into one of the cities of the LPR, on our sector of the front, they stopped it at a checkpoint, and they said that if there is no urgent need to enter the city, then it is better to refrain from traveling, because at night the khokhlopetukhs remotely mined the city by detonating cluster munitions over it!! But it was necessary to get into the city, and at your own peril and risk we moved on !!

And now we are not talking about the notorious petals, the mines looked like tin cans with an antenna, and hitting such a mine, Kamaz was torn off the wheels, and hardly anything was left of the loaf.

But, for us, everything worked out, the sappers were already working throughout the city, and sections of the route! Where the mines lay, there was already a cordon!!

And, that's what I'm all for! The city is inhabited by civilians, and this act of terrorism by the Nazis was directed against the civilian population!! And in order to stop this, we are in the NWO zone!

20:09 Circumstance on Avdievka is complex and we would not advise some to draw hasty conclusions. Everything has just begun, we have not even entered the private sector yet.
