If the above is correct (which I'm still quite skeptical of) this would have been a strike on one of, if not -the- main command post of Ukraine's OC-South.
This CP may have been detected during preparations for Ukraine's aforementioned offensive.

United States, Britain and the European Union in recent weeks, according to CNN, are holding regular meetings and discussing a possible diplomatic settlement in Ukraine, while Kiev is not included in these discussions, despite the US promise "nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine"

Severodonetsk 05/06/2022
1. Fighting continues in the area of the Azot chemical plant industrial zone. The enemy also maintains communication with Lysychansk through one of the damaged bridges—heavy equipment passes there with great difficulty, but vehicles pass [more easily].
2. The transfer of reinforcements from Lysychansk to Severodonetsk, after the Ukrainian Armed Forces had surrendered almost the entire city, made it possible to stay in the Azot area and start battles in the adjacent residential area, while Ukrainian sources themselves admit that there is no ambition to recapture Severodonetsk. The fighting will accordingly continue in the industrial area, and part of Severodonetsk will soon turn into an analogue of Mariupol in terms of destruction of high-rise buildings and other residential buildings, taking into account the active work of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' artillery in Severodonetsk.
3. It is unlikely that the command of the RF Armed Forces planned to storm Lysychansk head-on after taking the industrial zone of Severodonetsk. The real assault on Lysychansk will come when they break through the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces near Privolye and Ustinovka, advancing to the outskirts of the city—regardless of what will happen in the [Azot] industrial complex.
4. Of key importance for all these battles is the struggle for the Artemovsk-Lysychansk highway, since control over it will ddevalue any efforts of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to hold Lysychansk and Severodonetsk, unless, of course, there is a plan to sacrifice the entire grouping of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, as well as all the foreign mercenaries who were abandoned to hold the Azot industrial zone.
5. So far, the RF Armed Forces have ensured complete fire control over the route, which has already affected the supply of Severodonetsk and Lysychansk. But there is no complete block on the highway yet, so individual vehicles and groups are still passing; however full-fledged supply, which was possible back in the first half of May, can no longer be ensured, despite all efforts to push the RF Armed Forces away from the area of Belogorovka and Berestovoye. The current task of the RF Armed Forces in this direction is to grind the enemy's reserves in the upcoming battles and cross the Artemovsk-Lysychansk highway.
6. Naturally, the activity of the RF Armed Forces in the direction of Seversk is also expected, since taking under fire control (which is not yet achieved) the Artemovsk-Seversk-Lysychansk highway will lead to the notorious operational encirclement of the Severodonetsk grouping, which will simply lose the ability to re-supply through Artemovsk, and any retreat will entail serious losses.
7. Therefore, in the near future, on the one hand, we will observe positional battles in the area of the Severodonetsk industrial zone and high-intensity battles north of Soledar.

Greece clarified the conditions for the delivery of a batch of Soviet infantry fighting vehicles to Ukraine.
Greek government spokesman Yannis Oikonomou said that Kiev would receive the promised equipment only after Germany delivered 100 Marder infantry fighting vehicles to Greece.
Well we all know Germany is super fast with their deliveries...

FINAL CLARIFICATION on the path of the 20th Army. The Russian 20th Army is coming at Bogorodichnoye from the Izyum direction.
Ok, so, the initial analysis was correct. In this case, the fact that they are fighting already on the outskirts of Bogorodichnoye is very significant.
Well done!

Gleb is having fun here, but this is a very serious matter if this is the start of a Russian push on Kharkov from the south. I've seen some mild indications of this recently, and it's a logical line of attack.

Donbass offensive: situation in eastern Ukraine by the end of June 7, 2022
▪️Fighting continues in the north of Kharkiv region.
➖ Fighting is going on in Tsupovka, near Velyki Prokhody, in Rubizhne and Ternova.
➖ In Dementievka, a unit of the 92nd AFU brigade is blocked.
➖ The Russian Armed Forces attacked AFU positions in Odnorobivka, Korotych, Basovo, Ivashki, Cherkaskiye Tishki and Kharkiv itself.
▪️Allied forces continue to press the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Donbass.
➖ Sviatogorsk has been completely liberated. There have been no battles on the territory of Sviatogorsk Lavra between the Russian Armed Forces and the AFU, and there are no military units on the territory of the complex. It is most likely that an agreement was reached between the warring parties on the preservation of the shrine. This is indirectly evidenced by the Ukrainian accusations against the mayor of Sviatogorsk of "switching to the side of the occupants.
➖ Units of the 20th Army of the Russian Armed Forces advancing from Izyum have reached the outskirts of Bohorodychne and are fighting for the settlement. At the same time, the buffer zone on the M03 highway is expanding: there are battles for Dolina and Krasnopolye in the forest belt.
➖ Some servicemen of the 115th AFU brigade retreated from Severodonetsk to Lysychansk. In the city, pockets of resistance remain in the industrial zone near the Azot plant: units of the 81 Airmobile Brigade together with mercenaries of the International Legion of Territorial Defense are holding their ground there. Russian Armed Forces units are successfully fighting north of Borovskoye, pushing back the AFU from the forested areas to the territory of the airfield and the village.
➖ Near Popasna, the enemy continues to redeploy mobilized servicemen to the frontline north of Kamyshevakha. Fierce fighting continues on the lines of Yakovlevka - Bilohorivka - Berestove - Mykolaivka. To the south, fighting continues for Novoluganskoye and the Uglegorsk thermal power plant.
➖ Ukrainian reinforcements moved to Avdiivka.
➖ DNR units are fighting for the southern outskirts of New York.
▪️The Ukrainian armed forces are preparing for a counterattack in the Zaporizhzhia direction.
➖ Assault groups of the 81 Brigade of the AFU are concentrating in Huliaiypole and preparing to attack Marfopil from two directions to expand the security zone.
➖ The Ukrainian Armed Forces launched strikes on Russian Armed Forces positions near Piatykhatky. In response, the 128 AFU Brigade's concentration areas in Kamyanske and Shcherbaki were hit.
➖ Foreign mercenaries were spotted near Novoandriivka.

Battle for Severodonetsk: situation as of 11.30 June 8, 2022

Foreign mercenaries acted as a detachment and were able to stop the collapse of the defense.

Local sources report that the Russian forces have liberated the settlement of Tatyanovka, this time definitely on the southern bank of Seversky Donets, opposite to the recently-liberated Svyatogorsk.
This indicates with high degree of certainty that the Russian troops have crossed the Seversky Donets river in this area.

With respect to casualty numbers, the only reasonable way to go here is by way of extrapolation.
DNR: 1,925 KIA, 7,969 WIA
LNR: although the primary fighting is now taking place in the Lugansk area of responsibility, Mariupol evens out the score, so I would put them at about the same—2,000/8,000.
Russia: this one is more difficult. It would be easiest simply to double up the number of DNR, but given the last official numbers published by the Russian MOD, it does not quite work. I would conservatively estimate the losses at 4,500/10,000
Altogether then, we have an estimate of 8,500 KIA and 26,000 WIA for the Allied forces as a whole, for the whole campaign.
Many of you will disagree—putting losses as either lower or higher, depending on your viewpoint, but I will stick by my estimates.
