"Wagnerians take new positions in Bakhmut - ISW

The Russian military advanced south of the Kostyantynivka-Chasov Yar-Bakhmut highway and into the centre of Bakhmut itself, where they seized the local military prosecutor's office. This was reported by analysts of the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) in a recent report.

They pointed out that they based their conclusions on geolocation images. Based on the images, the mercenaries of the Wagner PMC are standing outside the Bakhmut military prosecutor's office and they have probably seized the building.

Also, the Institute's report indicates that the Russian military advanced 3km south of the T0504 Kostyantynivka-Chasov Yar-Bakhmut highway southwest of Bakhmut.

Analysts point out that Russian military correspondents say that the Wagnerians allegedly seized several buildings in central Bakhmut, including the Metallurg stadium, the Bakhmut hotel and the All Saints Church, but there is currently no confirmation of this.

We would like to point out that there has been fierce fighting in the city for several months in a row.
