In its latest report, the ISW said: “Visual evidence confirms that Ukrainian forces have advanced southwest of Bakhmut as of 6 July.
Ukrainian Eastern Group of Forces Spokesperson Colonel Serhiy Cherevaty also said Ukrainian troops had advanced by more than a kilometre in the last day against Russian forces near Bakhmut.
While Ukrainian forces are looking to advance both along the northern and the southern flanks, geolocated combat footage posted on 6 July showed Russian artillery striking a Ukrainian infantry fighting vehicle on the western outskirts of Klishchiivka – about 5 km southwest of Bakhmut, indicating that Ukrainian forces have made gains in the area.
