(iii) #Bakhmut southern salient,

In the #Klischiivka axis, 🇺🇦 very marginal gain to the NW of the settlement (< 1 km2)(👇cartes before left and after right)

9/n

Progress is very slow in the southern salient for the same reasons as in the northern salient: we have to clear a very tight network of trenches👇 (here, to the west of the settlement)
