Russians hit important industrial facilities on Pokrovsk axis with thermobaric munitions

Russian occupiers hit important industrial facilities in settlements on the Pokrovsk axis with thermobaric munitions, leading to their damage and destruction.

The Khortytsia Operational and Strategic Troops Group has reported this on Telegram.

"The enemy is carrying out air, artillery and missile strikes on infrastructure and important industrial facilities on the Pokrovsk axis," the report says.

In particular, such strikes using thermobaric munitions hit important industrial facilities in Ulakly, Kotlyne, Kostiantynopol, Bohatyr and other settlements, leading to their damage and destruction.

Over the past day, the enemy has been conducting offensive operations in the areas of Yelyzavetivka, Promin, Zvirove, Petropavlivka, Andriivka, Dachne and Yantarne. Fighting continues in Lysivka, Zelene, Novovasylivka and Yasenove.

It is indicated that the enemy tried to use armored vehicles to break through the defense in the direction of Baranivka. The column, which was detected in advance, was hit by fire. As a result, one tank and two enemy armored personnel carriers were destroyed. The attack was choked.

Reference. In thermobaric ammunition, the central explosive charge is first detonated, which gives the initial detonation wave. It initiates the detonation of thermobaric mixtures. Then the explosion products expand and burn due to the oxygen in the air.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, in the meantime, the American publication The New York Times, citing sources, stated that one of the ventilation shafts of the Ukrainian company Metinvest's coal mine 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.
