[The Russians] are destroying many positions using Solntsepek [multi-barrel rocket launch (MBRL) systems] and guided aerial bombs to ensure logistics along the O0506 road [the road from Bakhmut to Chasiv Yar via the settlement of Khromove - ed.]

And they started to advance and gather [troops] under the cover of First-Person View drones. The city centre is all ours."
