The New York Times reports serious losses of Ukrainian troops near Artyomovsk in the DPR.
“By around noon on Friday, doctors had counted 50 wounded, many of them soldiers. The day before was even worse: 240 people had come through the hospital’s doors with everything from gunshot wounds to shrapnel injuries and concussions,” the article states.
As The New York Times notes, citing the military, local residents and a Pentagon representative, the Ukrainian command sent new reinforcements into Artemovsk, including special forces and territorial defense fighters.
