Russian occupation forces lost 191 servicemen killed and 319 wounded in the town of Bakhmut in Donetsk Oblast on March 9 alone, spokesman for the Eastern Group of Ukraine’s Armed Forces Serhiy Cherevatyi said on national television.
A total of 57 combat engagements took place in that frontline area, with 20 attacks and 23 combat engagements recorded near Bakhmut.
Cherevatyi reported the situation near Bakhmut was under control and invading troops still could not break through the Ukrainian defense.
Earlier, Cherevatyi told Radio NV that the Ukrainian Armed Forces were fulfilling two main tasks in defending Bakhmut — preventing the enemy from systematically breaking through the Ukrainian defense and inflicting maximum losses in enemy personnel and equipment.
