The Ukrainian army reportedly blew up the dam in Bakhmut to prevent further Russian military advances.
The Ukrainian army allegedly blew up the dam in Bahmut in order to prevent the further progress of the Russian army, reports the Russian news agency “RIA Novosti”. An unnamed source revealed details of the attack to this portal.
“In the Artemovsk section controlled by Kiev, the enemy actually blew up the dam. No details yet. He tries to prevent the advance of Wagner’s fighters“, says a source familiar with this attack.
Information about the explosion of the dam has not yet been confirmed by either Ukraine or Russia. Bakhmut (Russian name Artemovsk) is located in the Ukrainian-controlled part of the Donetsk People’s Republic.
Earlier, a platoon commander of the “Wagner” group stated that Russian troops are gradually advancing towards the center of Bakhmut and that they allegedly have less than two kilometers left. The city of Bakhmut is an important transport hub for the supply of Ukrainian soldiers in Donbass.
