Russia destroys Chasiv Yar 'to the ground' - OTU 'Luhansk'.

Russian troops have increased artillery shelling in Donetsk region

In the last three days, Russian troops have intensified artillery shelling in Donetsk, firing over 1000 shells at Chasiv Yar. This was reported by the representative of the operational and tactical group 'Luhansk' - Dmytro Zaporozhets.

'The enemy is completely destroying the central part of the city, the central buildings. Moreover, they are not sparing artillery shells, destroying everything completely, as they say, to the ground,' Zaporozhets emphasized.

According to Zaporozhets, Russian troops are not conducting an active storming but are systematically shelling the city in squares, trying to destroy the buildings where Ukrainian positions may be located, using FPV drones for this purpose.

Destruction of the city of Kostiantynivka

Enemy attacks have also caused the destruction of the city of Kostiantynivka, where even a hospital came under fire. Zaporozhets noted that the hospital was not of military purpose - it treated only civilians.

'The enemy has repeatedly used drones specifically against this hospital,' the spokesperson emphasized.

The increase in the intensity of shelling indicates a change in the tactics of the occupiers, who are now focusing on the overall destruction of urban infrastructure, preparing the territory for a possible attack by Russian troops.

Ukrainian commanders emphasize that the increase in shelling and the destruction of civilian objects indicate a worsening situation in eastern Ukraine and a heightened threat from Russian occupation forces.
