Battle for #Bakhmut - Situation until 16:00 on 8 Apr 2023
️
In #Bakhmut, the Wagner PMC assault squads completely liberated the Avangard stadium, for which there had been fighting for the past few days, as well as the adjoining School No.7, the Pedagogical School and the Agrarian Lyceum on Kovalskaya and Blagoveshchenskaya Streets.
Slightly to the north, the "Wagnerians" advanced from the Atlantik Hotel to the southeast and the Church of All Saints to the northeast along the upper park, almost reaching the Saltovsky Meat-Packing Plant and Bakhmut Bus Station.
Fierce fighting now continues near the Bakhmut Railway Station, where AFU formations have moved an assault group to hold positions. To the north, after the liberation of the Police Station, the "Wagnerians" are attacking the areas near the Bakhmut Pre-Trial Detention Centre.
According to some reports, the PMC assault units successfully dislodged the formations of the 24th Separate Assault Battalion "Aydar" of the 53rd Mechanized Brigade from the vicinity near the MiG-17 stele in the southwest of the city. The enemy withdrew north of the plane.
The Main Events of the Battle for #Bakhmut are developing in the city centre near the railway line. The importance of the positions near the Railway Station is quite high, as the liberation of this quarter will greatly facilitate the assault on the western edge of #Bakhmut and force the AFU to withdraw their troops behind Chaykovsky and Levanevsky Streets to save the lives of their militants.

Destruction of a Hangar with HIMARS in #Orekhov, #Zaporozhye Direction
️
🗓 Today at 17:30 (8 Apr 2023), artillery units of the RF Armed Forces' 58th Army struck the hangars at the Orekhov Elevator near the railway station in #Orekhov, #Zaporozhye region.
The depots, located closer to the football field, contained two HIMARS MLRS launchers, one M777 155 mm towed howitzer, several armoured vehicles of unspecified type and artillery ammunition.
As a result of the attack, a 300-mm Smerch multiple launch rocket system and 20 shells of the 152-mm Hyacinth towed cannon completely destroyed the armament and equipment storage hangars, while the glow of the detonation could be seen many kilometres away from #Orekhov.
It is highly probable that the weapons and military equipment were transferred to #Orekhov in preparation for an offensive to provide fire support for ground forces in an assault on Russian positions, and their loss will significantly affect the combat capabilities of the AFU in the #Zaporozhye region.
