The Russian military has repelled several new attacks in the Donetsk sectors and inflicted more losses on Kiev forces.
The Yug Group Forces said on July 6 that it had repelled Ukrainian attacks in the directions of Soledaro-Artemovsky, Avdeevsky and Maryinsky. The group added that its aviation also attacked gatherings of manpower and equipment near Kleshcheevka.
In addition, the group’s artillery destroyed two D-20, one D-30, one American-made M777 and one German-made Panzerhaubitze 2000 howitzers as well as two mortars near Serebryanka, Spornoye, Svetlogorsk Fedorovka and Druzhkovka.
An ammunition depot of Kiev forces located near Druzhkovka was also destroyed by the group’s Tornado-S heavy multiple rocket launchers.
New videos showed recent clashes near Bakhmut as well as the shoot down of a Ukrainian Su-25 close air support fighter jet near Orekhov in the Zaporozhye sector.
Other videos that surfaced online on July 5 and 6 showed recent strikes with precision-guided Krasnopol artillery shells and Lancet loitering munitions against howitzers and other equipment of Kiev forces on different sectors.
More than a month into their spring counteroffensive, the performance of Kiev forces appears to be deteriorating. The forces are sustaining more losses in manpower and equipment. At the same time they remain bogged down kilometers away from the Russian military’s main line of defense.
