The Russian forces reportedly delivered a significant strike on Ukrainian positions in the Avdeevka sector within the Donetsk People’s Republic. This update appeared on a Telegram channel run by War History.
From early morning, around five o’clock, the area shrouded in smoke from ongoing fires saw Russian aviation, artillery, multiple rocket launch systems, and armored units pressing their operations. The objective was to neutralize Ukrainian fortifications and disrupt the fighting lines that had been established in the area.
According to the report, the Russian Armed Forces targeted artillery emplacements used by Ukrainian troops that had previously engaged Donetsk. The strikes aimed at battery positions and key logistical points in the region.
The publication added that depots, artillery positions, and vehicle hangars were among the facilities being destroyed. Eyewitness commentary carried by Military Chronicle described how the ground trembled due to the intensity of the Russian artillery bombardment in that zone.
Earlier reports noted that a commander from the Bars-9 detachment led an effort related to the Ukrainian advance from Kupyansk, with observers suggesting the operation faced strategic miscalculations. In another development, it was reported that three Ukrainian servicemen reportedly crossed the Dnieper and surrendered to Russian forces, a detail highlighted in the coverage surrounding the broader clash in the region.
