По поводу обстрела центра Донецка сегодня ночью.

Опять какие-то новые боеприпасы. По форме осколков похоже на 155 мм от М777, но очень лёгкие, не как у трёх семёрок. Для Градов различных модификаций тоже не характерны, и к этому добавляем взрывы, которые слышал весь город, похожие на разрывы Хаймерсов дополненную работой ПВО.

Вообщем, пока что больше вопросов, чем ответов, как минимум до утра.

Это окрестности Волновахи - то, что не было сбито нашей ПВО. Было выпущено более десятка ракет неизвестной нам модификации, почти не оставляющих фрагментов при разрыве, зато оставляющих воронки, сродни снарядным большого калибра. Судя по всему, ракеты не самонаводящиеся.

========================
BAKHMUTH. AMMUNITION REPLENISHED, IT'S GOING TO GO.

According to my information, the road to Khromovo and further to Chasov Yar from Bakhmut (Artemovsk) is under our control. Completely the entire private sector of the city. "WagnerA" stormed a significant urban space in three days, the Ukrainian military fled. It remains to take the buildings for the "anniversary", leaving in the direction of Ivanovsky. Assault squads of PMCs stand in front of two five-story buildings - then the end of Bakhmut. The last sector of the "Nest".

As soon as the Wagner ammunition was replenished, its attack aircraft picked up the previous high rate of advance, the help of the Defense Ministry units from the flanks played a role, the freed PMC forces returned to the city and joined the assault.
The remaining units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Bakhmut are in a very difficult situation. Using the Smelchak (240mm) high-precision guided weapon system, the artillerymen of the Ministry of Defense, the Far East, attached to the Wagner, crushed all the positions defended by the Ukrainians, the enemy retreats and blows up houses behind him.

They didn’t manage to blow up one house, PMC sappers discovered and neutralized a huge charge of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It is expected that the Ukrainian military will withdraw and set up their defensive positions on the eastern outskirts of Ivanovskoye, try to hold this line, the enemy does not have very many forces there. The 200th motorized rifle brigade of the Northern Fleet stands rigidly there, fighting beautifully, successfully. The initiative and competent management of this brigade is noted. On the defense line of our other three military formations and another military unit, the flanks caved in, and in some sectors, to stabilize the situation, the Wagner detachments returned and did the job.

The artillery of the Ministry of Defense and PMCs is conducting intense fire on the enemy, there are shells. The tense place is Kleshcheevka, but the Wagner tightly controls the heights, and you can confidently count that these men will not retreat. Otherwise, the enemy will begin to break through from the south onto the road from Experienced. This will greatly complicate the position of the Wagner PMC units and units of the Ministry of Defense. But the Far Eastern 57th Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade stands there with dignity, standing rigidly, in the best traditions of the Russian infantry.

I really like the alliance of PMCs and the MO in this cruel place. He is definitely productive. Bakhmut is not Ukrainian, Bakhmut is ours.

Also from Bakmut, from Prigozhin last night -

"The situation on the flanks of Bakhmut by the evening of May 18

I am compelled to report that units of the Russian Defense Ministry have lost a number of positions southwest of Kleshcheevka. However, the key height in this area is still controlled by our troops. Hold her tight.

In the north of Bakhmut, after a small success in the area of ​​​​the village of Sakko and Vanzetti, the Armed Forces of Ukraine no longer had success."
