Liberation of the settlement of Karl Marx (also known as Mirnoye) in the South Donetsk direction.

Units from the Russian “Vostok” force grouping have taken full control of the settlement of Karl Marx (Mirnoye) after clearing out entrenched Ukrainian positions. The assault was led by reconnaissance guards, who secured the village and surrounding forest belts, removing a major defensive node in the Ukrainian line following the fall of Komar.

Over 2.6 square kilometers and more than 400 structures have been liberated. The operation inflicted heavy losses on Ukrainian forces, with over a company eliminated — including personnel from the 37th Marine Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Russian flags have been raised across the settlement. Assault troops are now pushing westward toward Alexandrovgrad and Voskresenka, consolidating gains and preparing for further offensive operations.

The “Far Eastern Express” of the Vostok grouping continues its advance — one step closer to the full liberation of the Donetsk People’s Republic.
