Russian invasion forces captured 90% of #Bakhmut with Ukrainian forces clinching to some quarters in the West.
There is no reverse in trend for four months now, with Ukraine expected to lose the city without a decisive counter push to its north of south within weeks. https://twitter.com/JulianRoepcke/status/1651556749952925697/photo/1

New video of the Pavlohrad blast seems to confirm that the plant storing old SS-24 boosters was hit in the Russian strike.

While not good, this was the better case scenario.

Satellite imagery should be able to confirm the location and show the scale of the damage shortly. https://twitter.com/OAlexanderDK/status/1653008025123209219/photo/1

We now have a third angle of the blast further confirming the site of the explosion as the plant.

There were 2 drones which flew from different directions. 1st one caused some fire, second one didn't. Check the clock: 1st one is 2.27, 2nd one 2.43. The video with the people climbing the dome is indeed the 2nd drone (no fire caused). https://twitter.com/kromark/status/1653761880144396288/photo/1 https://twitter.com/kromark/status/1653745592256921602

1/ Thread: Analysis of Russian defensive network and field fortifications on Kopani-Robotyne-Tokmak sector of the Zaporizhzhia front. This analysis was done using Sentinel Hub EO imagery and commercially available very high-resolution satellite imagery by Airbus DS Pléiades Neo. https://twitter.com/Inkvisiit/status/1655584386601951238/photo/1

2/ Russian defenses have been constructed along dominant heights and ridgelines. Defenses have been established at depth of 25-30km from Russian forward line of friendly troops (FLOT) all the way to the city of Tokmak. https://twitter.com/Inkvisiit/status/1655584390565486605/photo/1

3/ There are several distinct layers or defensive zones. Zone 1: first 3-4km from the RuFLOT is the forward security zone consisting of individual squad or platoon outposts and individual company strongpoints. https://twitter.com/Inkvisiit/status/1655584394139009026/photo/1

4/ Zone 2: first defensive line, 2-3km deep. Company trenches and strongpoints arranged along key terrain features in continuous line. This zone has seen recent additions and is constantly being improved. Villages of Kopani and Robotyne form the linchpins of this position.

5/ Zone 3: 4-5km deep zone with reserve- and possible decoy positions. This zone is also where majority of the local Russian artillery and mechanized reserves will be maneuvering behind the first defense line. Multiple shelter areas for vehicles and equipment observed.

6/ Zone 4: Prepared main defensive line. Massive multilayered trench lines with anti-tank ditches and dragons’ teeth obstacles. Extensive minefields are likely. These fortifications form nearly uniformly continuous defensive belt across the front. Built 3-4km deep.

7/ Zone 5: Reserve and fallback positions behind the main defensive line (zone 3). Zone 6: Town of Tokmak and the surrounding AT-ditch and strongpoints form the last fallback and reserve position on this sector, prepared for all-around defense.

8/ I have complied a collection of samples of different field fortification types and examples from across this sector. Note that the high resolution Pléiades Neo images are from 13thMAR 23 so they are quite old at this point. Many fortifications were under construction. https://twitter.com/Inkvisiit/status/1655584409217540098/photo/1
