The Russian Defense Ministry's news site reported on July 13 that the Russian military destroyed two "Patriot" air defense missile system launch units today.
In the direction of Krasnoarmeysk, the Russian forces liberated the settlement of Myrnoye, which Ukraine renamed in 2016, and restored its original name, the Karl Marx settlement.
To the east of Krasnoarmeysk, the Russian forces leveled the north-south front line and reached the forest belt in the eastern part of Novoekonomichne.
The Russian army continues to liberate the remaining border areas in the southwest of the Donetsk People's Republic.
According to the current progress, by the end of summer, all areas of the Donetsk People's Republic located south of Krasnoarmeysk will be basically completely liberated.
Currently, fierce fighting is taking place in the new Ekonomichne area. Controlling this area will lead to a tighter encirclement of Myrnohirsk. The northern pincer force surrounding the Krasnoarmeysk urban area continues to slowly advance westward, extending northward to the main supply route of the Ukrainian forces.
Despite the Ukrainian forces' best efforts, they have still failed to stabilize the front line in the northeastern part of the urban area.
