Fighting in Ukraine's Bakhmut intensifies as Russian forces try to break through defenses
Also, Tesla to build manufacturing plant in Monterrey, Mexico.
Fighting has intensified around the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut, with both Ukrainian and Russian forces taking significant losses. Russian troops, including mercenary fighters from the Wagner Group, are trying to cut Ukrainian defenders' supply lines and force them to surrender or withdraw. The situation is described as "extremely tense" by the commander of Ukraine's ground forces, with the enemy constantly destroying anything that could be used to shield Ukrainian defenders. Bakhmut has been the focus of fighting for months, with Moscow attempting to encircle the city, and there have been increasing reports of battles within the city itself. Despite the cost of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, it aims to seize the whole of the eastern Donbas region.
