What's happening in Bakhmut

Fighting is currently taking place around the AZOM metallurgical plant located in the northern part of the city. Journalists claim that Wagner mercenaries were photographed in one of the plant's workshops. And one of the Wagnerites said that Ukrainian artillery was hitting them hard.

Dozens of shells arrive here every day. They have a lot of ammunition, they are replenished daily. They do not allow our fighters to raise their heads,” Wagner complained.

Recently, Russian propagandists reported that Wagner militants had begun storming the underground sections of the AZOM plant.

According to an independent battlefield analysis, Wagner units appear to be making limited progress around Bakhmut, but they remain well clear of encirclement and may be vulnerable to a Ukrainian counterattack.
