According to Russia’s Defence Ministry up to 70 personnel and more than five armoured vehicles were destroyed by high-precision airborne missiles fired by the Russian Air Force against a temporary battalion of the 72nd Mechanised Brigade near Artemivsk.

While retreating on July 25 from the village of Pokrovske in the Donetsk People’s Republic, the remnants of the 15th battalion of the 58th AFU Infantry Brigade came under heavy fire and were shot by fighters of the 118th Territorial Defense Brigade occupying second echelon positions near the village of Bakhmutskoye.
