Conflicting reports emerged regarding territorial control around Bakhmut, with the UK Defense Ministry claiming Ukrainian forces gained ground while ISW reported losses; Ukrainian soldiers reported heavy casualties while maintaining positions.
Ukrainian defenders destroyed seven Orlan-10 UAVs and two Zala UAVs on the Bakhmut front during this week.
Russian reports in late March claimed Ukrainian forces used ruthless tactics by rigging buildings with explosives upon withdrawal.
In Feb. 2023 the army high command transferred the 10th to the hard-pressed Bakhmut sector where, during March, a grinding Russian advance was brought to an effective halt.
At midnight, the Russians attacked Kramatorsk - 8 private houses were damaged, without casualties.
