Now in Donetsk, artillery salvos are continuously heard between the railway station and the airport, which is on fire - huge clouds of black smoke are visible from different parts of the city. Columns of tanks were spotted in the Oktyabrsky village.
According to various estimates, there may be 1-2 thousand Ukrainian military personnel at the airport; they maintain contact with Avdiivka and have the opportunity to replenish supplies and receive reinforcements. A few months ago, the militia attempted to storm the airport, but it was unsuccessful - the militia suffered heavy losses. Over the past months, the Ukrainian side has strengthened its position at the airport, turning it into an outpost.
