#1 Yesterday the Ukrainians took Pyatikhatki (or two days ago). They mined the approaches to the town to break up counterattacks and the Russians responded by heavily pounding the town with artillery and aviation.

Last evening a commenter that the Russians retook the town. I'm guessing Russian bloggers. But I can't find any credible English sources that say the Russians have retaken it. This morning the Ukrainian gov still claims the town and a few hours ago new was video released. Seems pretty calm. In addition, scroll down and Russian sources claim one of their Storm Z (recruited prisoners) battalions was destroyed in the town and the deputy commander killed.

#4 06/19/23. Note from the resource "Spetsnaz Archangel".

“ ❗The settlement of Pyatikhatki changes hands every day (right now again the village is not ours), the village standing in a lowland of 15 houses, judging by our reconnaissance, everyone who goes there can die, because the lowland is hard to hold.

Yes, the enemy's corpses are lying, the enemy is pulling up reserves, our aviation is working closely. We can safely say that this village is the "Gray Zone".
