The first post of the unit was created on 2/Nov/23.
Since the first posts seem to show exercises, it seems likely that the unit was not created until mid/late 2023.

Even though the impacts obviously almost all hit in the same neighborhood, I checked the geolocation again after each new camera angle in order to have worked precisely.
There are a total of 17 camera angles.

It should be noticeable that 40/75 hits were on two apartment blocks in the northeast alone.
It is also emphasized that no Ukrainian personnel or military equipment can be seen during any of the attacks.

I obtained footage of multiple FPV drone attacks carried out by the Shkval Battalion, 28th Mechanized Brigade.
The footage shows Russians advancing across the canal towards Bila Hora and Dyliivka - weeks earlier than previously known and further than previously thought.

A deep open-source analysis of the attacks in Toretsk reveals a Ukrainian counter-offensive that began in early October and moved to the eastern edge of the central high-rise settlement.

Unknown so far due to the time of release being mixed up:
Attacks on Ukrainian positions *after* Russian advance to position โ2.โ.
@GeoConfirmed @UAControlMap ๐งต3/7
A significant number of Russian positions were hit *before* the Ukrainian counter-attack in the same area.
No evidence was found that any positions were hit after the attack.
4 Videos of the ะั ะผะฐั unit in Vovchansk , shelling Ukranian positions.
Released between 26 July and 2 August; 34 new๐s (2 already mapped and 2 not found).
TLDR: The previous front drawing (red) makes sense.
