Russian forces destroy equipment of the Kyiv regime:
As of June 5 morning, the Russian Defense Ministry confirms active military actions in these directions:
Report by Press Centre Chief of Tsentr Group of Forces
In Krasny Liman direction, in the course of a counter-battery operation, the enemy M-777 howitzer position was uncovered. Lantset unmanned aerial vehicle of the Tsentr Group of Forces destroyed the target.
Russian Tactical and Army aviation carried out missile and bombing strikes to destroy the AFU strongholds, as well as manpower and hardware concentration areas close to eight settlements.
In Nevsky section and in the area of Serebryansky forestry, combat protection units uncovered the movement of the AFU 63rd and 67th mechanised brigades and the AFU 5th Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine. As a result of artillery and aviation attacks, the enemy suffered significant losses and dispersed into the forest area.
At the same time, the Russian Defense Ministry reported that artillery units of the Southern Group of Forces destroyed fortified positions and a firing position of Kyiv’s forces near the settlement of Spornoe, an ammunition depot of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Ray-Aleksandrovka region, an artillery gun and a vehicle in the Seversk region, an infantry fighting vehicle in the area of the settlement of Stupochki and two pickup trucks near Bogdanovka.
A TOS “Solntsepek” unit also pounded positions of Kyiv’s troops in the area of the settlement of Krasnoe.
In the Avdiyivka direction, the Tor-M2 anti-aircraft missile system shot down an US-made JDAM guided aerial bomb.
A special-purpose unit destroyed a Ukrainian reconnaissance radar station in the Druzhkovka area with a Lancet guided munition.
It’s interesting to note that the Kyiv regime tries to deny the reality and pretends that nothing is happening in its official statements. It seems that they will officially announce any active actions only if they achieve at least some notable tactical successes. Apparently, this has not happened so far.
Reports claim that the June 5 clashes continued with even larger scale. The Kyiv regime threw even more forces into the battle.
Intense fighting is ongoing in Zaporozhye region. Kyiv’s forces also tried to advance in the sectors of Novodarovka, Zolotaya Niva-Novodonetskoe, Novoselovka and “Shaitanka” River. Dozens of units of military equipment are involved in the attack. Pro-Russian sources claim that 4 Ukrainian battle tanks were destroyed.
Allegedly, Kyiv’s units were able to reach the vicinity of Novodonetskoe where fighting is ongoing. Russian artillery and air power strike the advancing units of the Kyiv regime there.
The situation is developing.
