Mainstream media outlets appear doubtful over today's incident

It is apparently "unclear what happened" wrote CNN. "Sounded like shots" added The New York Times. The liberal paper reported "pops that sounded like gun shots were heard" in a post on the X platform.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ According to Tradition, the Situation in Key Settlements in the #Ugledar & #Avdeyevka Directions at the End of the Day on 13 July 2024 was as follows⚡️

🔴#Krasnogorovka - we sometimes say that artillery or aviation helps, but that's all, in fact, a makeweight.
🟡All the main work here is on the assault infantry.
🟡Assault events in several waves and constant attempts to move forward.
🟡But... star dreamers are often driven in the back.

🔴#Karlovka - assault after assault with almost no special pauses.
🟡The enemy's positions are being sorted out.
🟡Ukrops frontal attacks are still being held, but the waves are sharpening the rocks.

🔴#Novosyolovka1st - our people throw all their forces here, and we systematically take house after house.
🟡The enemy rolls back, but does not give up.
🟡The settlement was cut into two parts with a wedge.
Inexorable movement forward.

🔴#Lozovatskoye - the enemy is knocked out, the flanks are being cleaned up.

🔴#Vozdvizhenka - we entered the village, but we are still fighting on the outskirts of the houses.

📌 Conclusions from the past day: the enemy has greatly strengthened in defence and is generally ready to counterattack in a number of areas. While they are sitting on the defensive, they are fighting with whole swarms of fpv drones.

🟡 Ours are breaking through the defence with endless Russian infantry every day, and sometimes hourly, but aviation has become much less recently, which is noticeable. Why would that be?
