Ukrainians conducted a series of very successful HIMARS strikes at the Russian troops relocating to the Bakhmut direction. Relocation creates a perfect opportunity for identifying, tracking, and destroying enemy forces’ concentrations......
In the meantime, more information became available about
Ukrainian yesterday’s strike on unspecified buildings near the airfield in Mariupol. Today satellite footage became available of this area, which shows that
HIMARS rockets entered the center of the building. Ukrainian sources reported that there was an underground facility that was used as a high-level command post of the Russian forces that are operating in the Vuhledar and Zaporizhzhia areas. The Ukrainian Mariupol advisor to the mayor reported that 24 troops were killed and 37 were wounded. As a result of strikes on other facilities,
Russians also lost a lot of vehicles of various types: from cars to APCs. Local residents noticed how Russians were transporting the destroyed machinery through the city.
A target of another strike became
Tokmak in Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia Oblast. Local residents reported hearing multiple explosions, which was later confirmed by the Russian-appointed head of the region. He stated that there were
at least two explosions and that more information would become available later.
HIMARS strikes were also recorded in the Donetsk Oblast. Russian independent investigative outlet reported that
a Ukrainian HIMARS strike destroyed up to 10 T-90 tanks east of Marinka. Overall, it looks like by destabilizing the situation on the Bakhmut’s flanks and forcing Russians to send reinforcements, Ukrainians managed to destroy more heavy equipment during the relocation than during the storming operation of the flanks that Russians tried to reinforce. And the frequency and intensity of HIMARS strikes will continue to increase, especially as Norway and the UK recently agreed to supply Ukraine with eight artillery systems M270, which has twice as many rockets as HIMARS.
