Russian Federation Armed Forces continue the special military operation.
As a result of a Russian Aerospace Forces’ high-precision weapons hitting on the temporary deployment locations of the so-called Foreign Legion fighters, up to 100 foreign mercenaries and six armoured vehicles were destroyed near Chasov Yar (Donetsk People’s Republic).
In Kupyansk direction, artillery fire against the AFU’s assembly areas thwarted the enemy attack at Novoselovskoye (Lugansk People’s Republic).
Up to 30 Ukrainian servicemen and two pickup trucks were annihilated.
In Krasny Liman direction, preventive fire damage in Stelmakhovka and Ploshchanka (Lugansk People’s Republic) foiled attempts of the AFU to launch an offensive with two company tactical units in the direction of Kolomyychikha and Ploshchanka (Lugansk People’s Republic).
The enemy also made futile attempts to equip strong positions and gain a foothold close to Ploshchanka and Chervonopopovka.
As a result of artillery fire, AFU units were halted and pushed back to their initial positions.
The enemy’s losses in this direction amounted to over 50 Ukrainian personnel killed and wounded. Three armoured fighting vehicles and four special vehicles were eliminated.
