Mortar crews of the 150th Guards Division of the Southern Group of Forces advanced towards the forward positions of Ukrainian troops in the Artyomovsk direction. The unit commander with the call sign Jeweler spoke about this.
He noted that the Russian military is moving artillery closer to the line of combat contact, thereby increasing the firing range in the rear of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Earlier it was reported that airborne forces stormed a Ukrainian Armed forces stronghold north-west of Artymovsk.
