In Makeevka, ten new Grad launchers were delivered today. Likewise, several fuel trucks showed up. Apparently, lots of tanks, artillery, etc. rolled up to the Auchen Supermarket in Makeevka. Note the locale vs the highways.
In Krasnodon, mobile phones have been down since 5 PM Ukrainian time. Again, note the position on the highways. In fact, we are getting reports of cell phones going down all over the Donbas now.
There are lots of reports of attacks by the Ukrainians on Russian/Donnie Reb positions. The Ukrainians are looking rather confused since they are only responding right now. They are claiming the DNR/LNR is doing its usual false information.
However, the LNR has positioned a lot of equipment near the front line for a "count attack" against the coming Ukrainian assault.
In fact, the Russians & LNR may have set up pontoon bridges across the Seversky Donets River.
Residents in Lutuhyne and Molodohvardiisk report very large Russian army forces passing through. Supposedly another force passed through Krasnodon soon after the cell phones went down.
Let's hope these are locals just overreacting to Donnie Reb's normal movements. However, with the reports of bridges and the no cell service, it might be something scary.
Then again, we've had several scares and several small offensive attempts too.

Knocking out the cell phones is a bad sign. Question is, are they killing the towers, or jamming the signal electronically? With all this movement, it sounds like all out craziness is about to unleash. I hope the civilians can get out of the way fast enough.
It appears to have been temporary. There was a LOT of movement.
It seems we may have a Minsk III. Begins September 1st. Update on it tonight.
