Successful attack by the Defense Forces

On July 1, Ukrainian defenders attacked the command post of the 8th Combined Arms Army of the Russian Armed Forces in the temporarily occupied territory of the Donetsk region.

As the General Staff explained, such an attack would complicate the Russian operations in the directions of Pokrovsk and Toretsk.
