According to analysts, the invaders seized the territory of AZOM

The occupiers have captured about another five percent of Bakhmut’s territory in the past week , and now occupy about 65% of the city’s territory, according to a report from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
ISW writes, referring to geolocated videos, that from the south, units of the Wagner PMC advanced to the very center, to the market and the Palace of Culture, located next to the City Council building.
In the north-west of the city, PMC “Wagner” completely seized the territory of AZOM – a non-ferrous metal processing plant – and advanced to the south of the industrial zone.VIDEO OF THE DAYPlay Video
The area of Bakhmut is slightly more than 40 sq. km, so 5% of the city’s territory is about two square kilometers.

Weird; Liveuamap shows no changes there.
Minor change in se and ne on one I use but may have just been a map correction.
Really disappointing.
It’s really disappointing after Zelensky says how important it is to deny the Russians the win!!!
Biggest thing is buying time, but AFU still holding and making rashists pay a high price for being there.
Rationally I know you’re right Sir Bill. Mine is a completely emotional response
I understand the emotions of it also. That part of me I’ve had to tuck away a bit till I can fully process some things.
I admit it’s hard to stay unemotional when so many of our great people are dying and being wounded It’s just hard!
That it is, I know I will have to come to grips with some things from the last couple weeks. I just hit a kind of “shell shock” point where I’m kinda numb at the moment. It is extremely rough hearing about and seeing the sacrifices made by so many. Freedom is never free, it is paid for in blood.
AFU splashed 2 more whirly birds.
Ukraine needs 100% working air defense in Odesa, Dnipro, Kyiv and Lviv before any attempted offensive can start.
