Battle of Krasnohorivka
Background[edit]
The city of Krasnohorivka is situated near Donetsk, the capital of the Russian-backed Donetsk People's Republic since 2014. Under Ukrainian control, it has become a significant stronghold for the Ukrainian army in that sector, alongside Marinka and Avdiivka. Despite its strategic importance, it has not been intensively attacked by Russian ground forces since the start of the invasion.
Battle[edit]
On July 18, Russian forces attacked the Krasnohorivka Coal Mine with at least 7 tanks and captured it. Ukrainian sources reported that they heavily shelled Russian positions after retreating, inflicting significant damage.[1] Ukrainian sources further claimed on July 21 that they inflicted substantial casualties on the Russians using cluster munitions provided by the US.[2]
