Yeah. The poor soldier who break the Emmission security got beaten hard. Seems they got Il-20 or Tu-214R for the job.
Some updates in Donbass front, seems like some sort of Ukrainian counterattack

Unless the ukraine forces has been replenished with new supply of weapons and ammonution, a wide front counter attack will deplete their ammunition inventory further at much faster rate. They may also lose many fold their normal rate of daily losses in manpower consider that the Russians have superior bombarment power.
We will see the outcome in next few days if they could push Russians back (IMO unlikely) or suffer further losses.
Coming from those Ukrainian positions, it looks rather more like an attempt to break out to me. There was chatter last night about orders to withdraw. Not found anything to confirm, but having as good a look as limited time allows.
Air defense units skills will get rusty if they not routinely shot down aircrafts with pilot para jump from it. it gives them incentive of combat tested.
⚡️Briefing by Russian Defence Ministry
The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue the special military operation in Ukraine.
High-precision long-range Kalibr missiles near Priluki, Chernigov region, have destroyed AFU arsenal of artillery weapons and ammunition.
In addition, high-precision air-based missiles have hit 11 areas of concentration of Ukrainian manpower and military equipment, 8 firing positions of AFU artillery units, including 3 platoons of Grad multiple-launch rocket systems near Bakhmut and Pereezdnoe in Donetsk People's Republic, Lisichansk in Lugansk People's Republic, and 2 ammunition depots on the southern outskirts of Kharkov and near Gorskoe in Lugansk People's Republic.
Operational-tactical and army aviation have hit 101 areas of AFU manpower and military equipment concentration.
The attacks have resulted in the elimination of more than 350 nationalists, 3 command posts, 13 tanks and other armored fighting vehicles, 6 Grad multiple rocket launchers, 14 field artillery mounts and 22 special vehicles have been destroyed.
Russian air defense means have shot down 1 MiG-29 aircraft of Ukrainian Air Force near Slavyansk in Donetsk People's Republic and 1 Mi-24 helicopter near Snegirevka in Nikolaev region.
9 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles have been shot down nnear Chervonaya Gusarovka, Bolshie Prokhody, Malaya Kamyshevakha in Kharkov region, Apostolovo in Dnepropetrovsk region, Donetsk, Levkovka, and Yakovlevka in Donetsk People's Republic.
In addition, 1 Ukrainian Tochka-U ballistic missile near Vernopol'e, Kharkov region, and 14 Smerch rockets near Donetsk, Aleksandrovka, Donetsk People's Republic, Popasnaya, Lugansk People's Republic, and Sukhaya Kamenka, Kharkov region, have been intercepted.
Missile troops and artillery have hit 280 areas of AFU concentration of manpower and military equipment, 18 command posts, 59 firing positions of artillery and mortar units, as well as 1 fuel depot near Konstantinovka in Donetsk People's Republic.
In total, 202 Ukrainian airplanes and 131 helicopters, 1,205 unmanned aerial vehicles, 338 anti-aircraft missile systems, 3,548 tanks and other armored combat vehicles, 521 multiple launch rocket systems, 1,947 field artillery and mortars, as well as 3,605 units of special military vehicles were destroyed during the operation.

The Ukrainian army continues to suffer significant losses during the special military operation.
❗️I would like to note that in recent weeks, incidents involving the shooting of Ukrainian servicemen in the back by nationalist units have become more frequent in areas of military operations. Thus, after a fire preparation for an attack by Russian troops near Novomikhailovka in Donetsk People's Republic, more than 30 servicemen of the 25th Battalion of the 54th Mechanized Brigade of AFU decided to lay down their arms and surrender.
Ukrainian servicemen occupying a stronghold near Zvioroferma asked the Russian unit command via radio to cease fire and provide a corridor for exit.
Around 10 p.m., AFU servicemen with white flags began moving towards Russian positions.
At that moment, Ukrainian nationalist barrier unit arrived at the stronghold in armored vehicles and opened crossfire in the back on the servicemen of the 54th Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. As a result of this shooting, 32 Ukrainian servicemen were fatally wounded and killed.
This incident, as well as many others like it, clearly demonstrates that amid growing military failures and demoralization of Ukrainian troops, the Kiev nationalist regime is trying to stop the retreat and surrender of its units by punitive actions of barrier squads.
The lives of Ukrainian servicemen and mobilized fighters of territorial defence units mean nothing to the current leadership of Ukraine.

if this is true, then it explains the low surrender rate of Ukrainian troops. WW2 tactics?⚡️Briefing by Russian Defence Ministry

According to the LPR’s minister of Internal Affairs there is about 2,500 fighters holed up in the Azot Chemical Plant. A quarter of them are highly trained foreign mercenaries. Remember this force is a mix of SBU special forces, Ukrainian military special forces, Nazi battalions from Kharkov and other parts of Ukraine. So it’s a pretty formidable force. They are putting a fight because they have no way to escape. The mercenaries know they face the death penalty if captured. Plus the Russians can’t really use a lot of firepower on the plant because it’s full of toxic chemicals that could be deadly for the populace in Severdonetsk. And the Ukrainian defenders are full of nationalist believers even special forces in the SBU and Ukrainian military. Russia’s strategy is wait them out, whittle down their numbers little by little day by day. Soon they will run out of food and water and they will have no choice but to surrender.
Video of the effects of the parabolic rocket launches carried out by the Ka-52's. So there is some precision to them, and not just spray-n-pray tactics as many OSINTbros said and the rockets seem to group in a way they work as cluster munition
