Invaders trying to penetrate deep into Chasiv Yar through fog and are hiding in pipes – Luhansk troops group

In Chasiv Yar, russian troops are trying to penetrate deep into Chasiv Yar, using fog and pipes of the Siverskyi Donets canal.

The spokesman for the Luhansk Operational and Tactical Troops Group Dmytro Zaporozhets has stated this on TV.

"Regarding the situation in Chasiv Yar, the enemy is actively using the pipes of the Siverskyi Donets canal to hide in it during bad weather. Now in the Donetsk Region we often observe fog in the morning, and the enemy is actively using this period of time to accumulate in these pipes, and then, if possible, move deep into the city in the morning or at night," the spokesman said.

According to the spokesman, drone operators of the Defense Forces record enemy movements and try to use all possible means for destruction.

"The positions held by the Defense Forces are becoming fewer, but still the personnel of the Defense Forces continue to hold the city of Chasiv Yar. And we are not talking about capturing the entire city now, because the enemy is everywhere. And our drone operators are also actively destroying it," Zaporozhets added.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, meanwhile, the American publication The New York Times, citing sources, stated that one of the ventilation shafts of the coal mine of the Ukrainian company Metinvest in the Pokrovsk district of the Donetsk Region was blown up to prevent the troops of the aggressor country russia from using the underground tunnels.
