Over the past day, the Defence Forces repelled 102 enemy attacks in these areas

Wagner assault units are trying to break into central Bakhmut while suffering significant losses.

All enemy attempts to capture the city are repelled by Ukrainian artillery, tanks, and other firepower.

Ukrainian forces hold the west of the town and have demolished key bridges over the river, which runs north-south through a strip of open ground 200 meters to 800 meters wide. This area has become a killing zone, likely making it highly challenging for Wagner forces attempting to continue their frontal assault westwards.

Fighters attempted to destroy the T-90M on the day after its detection but were forbidden by leadership from using specific weapons and suffered technical malfunctions during a second attempt.
