The strike contributed to the offensive actions of a group of Russian troops in the Novomikhailovka area.

Defeating the enemy in rear areas adjacent to the front line is one of the priorities of large-caliber artillery. This does not allow the Ukrainian Armed Forces to rotate their units on time and disrupts the supply of ammunition and other necessary items.

The Russian Ministry of Defense noted that the liberation of Novomikhailovka will ensure the access of Russian troops to a wider operational space in the Ugledar direction.
