▪️ In the city area of #Bakhmut, AFU engineering units set up additional fortifications and fire positions on the roofs of buildings. According to local residents, a railway bridge northwest of #Soledar overs the Bakhmutka River near Sol station was blown up.
▪️ The AFU's Signals Intelligence manoeuvre group uncovered the advance of Russian units 4km northeast of #Bakhmut and on the outskirts of the town.
The 2nd Battalion of the AFU's 54th Mechanized Brigade, reinforced with armored vehicles, attempted to counterattack the Russian positions and gain a foothold in the southeastern part of the town. The attack was repulsed and the 54th Brigade withdrew with losses.
