Assault detachments of the Wagner PMC liberated two quarters in the northwestern and southeastern parts of Artyomovsk, the Russian Defense Ministry said. A day earlier, the department announced that it had taken control of two more districts of this city.

Meanwhile, in other directions, enemy sabotage and reconnaissance groups, ammunition depots, command posts and other facilities were hit. The Ministry of Defense added that units of the airborne troops constrained the actions of the enemy on the flanks of the assault detachments.
