As a result of the shelling, part of the facade of the residential building was damaged, a civilian was killed. Ukrainian troops also opened fire on Novobakhmutovka, using 152 mm shells. The Kiev region of Donetsk is located in the northern part of the city. Here are Shakhterskaya Square, Kyiv Prospekt, the railway station, the Donbass Arena stadium. Artem Street, the main artery in the city, also ends here. Since 2014, when the DNR declared independence from Kyiv following a coup d'état there, the area has been regularly shelled by Ukrainian security forces. The northern outskirts of the region is considered to be the airport, which was destroyed as a result of many months of fighting between the Ukrainian military besieged there and the Donetsk militias who stormed their positions. The village of Novobakhmutovka is located approximately 27 kilometers from Horlivka. Artillery with a caliber of 155 millimeters is used by NATO countries. Also in Ukraine, under such a caliber, a wheeled self-propelled artillery mount «Bogdan» was developed and manufactured in a single copy. The United States has previously supplied Kyiv with long-range 155mm M-777 howitzers, Ukrainian troops have already used them to shell cities, including Donetsk, killing civilians. jpg» />15:21InfographicMap of the special operation of the Russian Armed Forces in Ukraine as of 21.08.2022
