"Two days ago, when Russian military forces were concentrated to the north of the city (Avdiivka), engaged in storming actions, our guys conducted a lightning-fast assault operation and occupied a part of Opytne, consolidated their position, and are already engaged in battles within the settlement," Barabash noted.
