Russia has faced a slaughter fighting for the eastern city of Avdiivka. Ukrainian forces say they've destroyed heaps of armor, equipment, and personnel. War experts say the slaughter around Avdiivka bears similar hallmarks to the months-long battle for Bakhmut, where Moscow's catastrophic tactics badly bloodied its army, even though it eventually captured the city. There, it added, Russian forces are suffering "particularly heavy casualties." George Barros, a Russia analyst at the Institute for the Study of War, said Avdiivka presents a similar situation for Ukraine as Bakhmut did.

☆ Ukraine says it launched its missile strike on the headquarters of Russia's Black Sea fleet to coincide with a meeting of Russian naval officers
  + stars: | 2023-09-25 | by ( Sinéad Baker | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Ukraine said it timed its strike on Russia's Black Sea Fleet to a meeting of the fleet's leadership. Budanov said one of the injured was Colonel General Alexander Romanchuk, the general in charge of Russian forces in Zaporizhzhia. However, he refused to confirm the rumored death of Admiral Viktor Sokolov, commander of Russia's Black Sea Fleet. This suggests that it wasn't just a strike on the Black Sea Fleet HQ, but timed to target key senior leaders during a meeting."

The eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut was bombed in an apparent incendiary attack on Friday. Video shows the city ablaze with a bright glow, demonstrating Russia's "scorched earth" tactics.
