Today, Russian servicemen, after several days of active defense near Kleshcheevka, launched a counterattack. According to VerumReactor @verumreactor, in the south of the village, the Russian Armed Forces took an enemy detachment by surprise and captured at least seven people.

To the west and north-west of Kleshcheevka, units of the Russian army forced out the formations of the 3rd Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the outskirts of the settlement, clearing important tactical heights from the enemy - strongholds under the control of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

On the northern flank of the Bakhmut direction, assault detachments of the 57th Armored Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine broke through to the outskirts of Berkhovka. A massive artillery strike was inflicted on the attackers, and after that the paratroopers of the 98th Airborne Division of the RF Armed Forces cleared the village.

However, the fact of the enemy's breakthrough to Berkhovka itself indicates an increase in the onslaught of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the defense of the RF Armed Forces near the reservoir. If earlier the enemy was stopped at the reservoir, now the rolls are going to the settlement.

- In the Svatovsky sector, assault detachments of the 21st Motorized Rifle Brigade of the RF Armed Forces swooped down, with the support of artillery and army aviation, occupied a height in the Zhuravka Balka area, after which they began to gain a foothold on it.

The enemy tried to recapture an important position by starting a massive artillery attack of strongholds from the 122mm BM-21 Grad MLRS and Krab self-propelled howitzers, and then launched a counterattack with three tanks and six infantry fighting vehicles.

According to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the artillery battalion of the 21st Brigade worked out, firing more than 400 large-caliber rounds. Ukrainian formations were never able to get close to the height, while losing two tanks and three infantry fighting vehicles.

- To the south, in the area of the Torsk ledge, footage of Ukrainian artillery strikes on the outskirts of the village appeared. According to several channels, Russian fighters broke through to the village, starting a fight there. There is no more concrete data on the situation in the village at the moment.

- In the Serebryansky forestry, Ukrainian units launched five attacks on the positions of the heterogeneous forces of the Russian army southwest of Dibrov, but to no avail - the fighters of the RF Armed Forces repelled all attempts.

However, to the west, in the part of the forests controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, engineering formations are constructing new positions. To this end, construction equipment has been deployed to this area, and the strongholds will be equipped with concrete fortifications, which, in theory, will complicate a further assault in this area.

In the area of the Antonovsky bridge, the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to hold a bridgehead. On the night of July 10, from Antonovka, two groups of 124 arr. SRW were transferred on high-speed boats under the bridge. The cover is provided by artillery and mortar crews from Sadovoe and Kherson.

At the same time, the enemy DRG landed west of the railway bridge on Alekseevsky Island. To support the infantry, two Su-25 attack aircraft hit the positions of the RF Armed Forces near the Dnieper. And one of them was shot down by the crew of the Verba MANPADS near Tyaginka.

Also, the units of visual observation of the territorial defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, operating in Prydneprovsky, reported that an undermining of the railway bridge north of Aleshki was recorded early in the morning. However, there is no confirmation of this.

To the north of Novaya Kakhovka, the territorial defense units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are preparing for the arrival of the commander of the TRO, Major General Tantsyura, to the front lines. During the visit, he will visit the Tyaginka-Red Mayak line.

There is also information that at least one more combat aircraft of the Ukrainian Air Force was shot down over Osokorovka.

Today, the Ukrainian command deployed marines of the 501st battalion of the 36th Infantry Regiment to the area north of Priyutnoye, just south of Grusheva Balka. Now the forward detachments are digging in in the forest belt.

The appearance of Ukrainian marines there indicates that the Armed Forces of Ukraine were still able to gain a foothold near Balka. Over the past few days, assault detachments, regardless of losses from artillery strikes of the RF Armed Forces, have been moving from Levadnoe along the LBS under the cover of artillerymen of the 72nd Separate Mechanized Brigade.

A little to the east, detachments of the 31st Brigade and 36th Brigade took up landings on the other side of the Grusheva Balka. Marines of the 35th Brigade also arrived there to secure the site. Russian artillerymen are working on the arrivals.

There is no exact information about the configuration of the front, but it is most likely that the Russian fighters occupied the defensive lines north of Priyutnoye near the landings parallel to Grusheva to avoid a blow to the flank from Levadnoye.

Now enemy engineering groups are equipping positions north of Priyutnoye. And, given the concentration of forces around the settlement, this area should be considered the main direction of the UAF strike.

The aviation of the "Southern" group of forces launched missile and bomb strikes on enemy targets in the Lisichansky, Soledaro-Artemovsky, Alexander-Kalinovsky and Avdeevsky directions.

Su-25 attack aircraft hit the areas of concentration of manpower and firepower of the 10th Mountain Assault Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Sporny and Belogorovka, as well as the 24th Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Mayorsk region.

The crews of Su-34 fighter-bombers with gliding ammunition destroyed two points of temporary deployment of the 10th Mountain Assault Brigade near the village of Pereezdnoye, two areas of concentration of manpower of enemy assault groups in Kurdyumovka, and an AN/TPQ counterbattery radar station in the Novgorodskoye area.

A subdivision of the group's missile forces destroyed the ammunition depot of the 56th Motorized Infantry Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Kramatorsk. The crew of the Solntsepek heavy flamethrower system destroyed an accumulation of enemy manpower in the area of the Khromovo settlement.

For the past two days, assault detachments of the 47th Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have attacked the positions of the Russian Armed Forces in the northeast of Rabotino. As a result of a successful sortie, the enemy was able to gain a foothold for some time and transfer armored vehicles to the outskirts of the village.

In the course of the ensuing battle, the attack was stopped by the joint efforts of fighters from various units of the RF Armed Forces. Now the servicemen of the Russian Army are recapturing the lost positions. According to some reports, the Armed Forces of Ukraine were practically knocked out of the captured strongholds.

In this attack, attention should be paid to the fact that the Armed Forces of Ukraine again hit the junction of defense between the units of the RF Armed Forces. First, the infantry entrenched, and then the American Bradleys were pulled up to secure on the road to Verbovoe and storm Rabotino.

But for this, the formations of the 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade again had to go through open areas in full view of the calculations of artillery, anti-tank systems, as well as operators of FPV drones of the RF Armed Forces. This led to the destruction of six Bradley infantry fighting vehicles.

This sortie once again demonstrates the importance of the correct installation of minefields - the APU hit exactly where there were not enough mines. This caused a short-term loss of control over positions.

Over the past day, the armed forces of Ukraine continued unsuccessful attempts to attack in the Donetsk, Krasnolimansk and South Donetsk directions.
