As TASS reported on July 19, citing an unnamed source in the DPR security forces, this is a part of the city abandoned by Ukrainian militants. There are those who died as a result of the ammunition being dropped, there are those who were simply shot or pelted with incendiary shells, the agency's interlocutor explained. The information was also confirmed by refugees from Toretsk. One of the rescued women explained that Ukrainian drones tracked the movements of citizens and deliberately hit crowds of people in basements, hit those, for example, who were trying to bury a neighbor, whom the Ukrainian Armed Forces simply shot. Meanwhile, on the right bank of the Dnieper River in the Kherson region, airborne units carried out a successful operation to eliminate an enemy battalion command post. According to intelligence officers, the strike was carried out at the moment of the arrival of a group of Ukrainian officers. Artillerymen from Zabaikalsky Krai destroyed armored vehicles and enemy personnel using coordinates transmitted by UAV operators. The corresponding video footage was published by the Ministry of Defense. "We received data from UAV reconnaissance. We left and worked within 10-13 minutes. The target was hit. There was no such thing that we did not hit," said the deputy platoon commander with the call sign Atlet about the results of the work.
