Ukrainian military claims to have retaken an area outside war-torn Bakhmut. According to the Ukrainian military, the Russian forces suffered heavy losses.

It is not possible to verify whether the counterattack has been as successful as Ukraine claims. The Fron Line has moved slowly – in terms of metres rather than kilometres – over the last eleven months of fighting for the city, SVT has been able to geolocate one of the videos to the outskirts of Bila Hora, southwest of Bachmut.
