Ukrainian forces have recaptured the village of Andriivka, located 10 kilometers (or six miles) south of Bakhmut, the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces announced on September 15.
According to the agency’s Facebook post, the Russian side took significant losses in both personnel and equipment.
Andriivka is part of the Klishchiivka–Andriivka–Kurdiumivka line that defined the Ukrainian offensive on Bakhmut from the south as of last week. According to the Ukrainian command, the operation has been partly successful by Klishchiivka as well.
President Zelensky’s Chief of Staff Andriy Yermak has thanked the troops for the breakthrough on Telegram.
Ukraine’s Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Maliar had initially announced the liberation of Andriivka a day earlier. When the General Staff declined to confirm this, Maliar said there had been a miscommunication between several sources reporting directly from the combat zone.
Commenting on today’s announcement, Maliar wrote that the situation in Andriivka had been tough and “changed rapidly several times in the course of yesterday.”
