National Guard spokesperson Ruslan Muzyczuk reported that the Russians are trying to combine assault actions on the flanks of Selydove with a frontal attack on the city. "The enemy resorts to artillery shelling and air attacks using anti-aircraft missiles," he conveyed.
The assault operation on Selydove is thought to be part of a larger plan in the Donetsk region. The probable increase in Russian actions is related to the upcoming cooling and autumn weather, which results in the formation of rasputitsa (mud – editor's note), hindering the activities of heavy units.

Additionally, maps from DeepState analysts confirm that the Russians are conducting intense operations in this area. However, these efforts have not yet resulted in significant outcomes.
