📋🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Two Majors #Report for the Morning of 26 October 2023; pub. 07:00📍

▪️
In the #Kherson direction, the RF Armed Forces are destroying small groups of enemy troops landing on our coast; yesterday the enemy was thrown into the water near the railway bridge and north of the #Poyma - #Peschanovka - #Podstepnoye line. In the above localities are our troops. In #Krynki yesterday several dozen enemy soldiers were destroyed, the enemy continues to hold some part of the village, hiding in basements, bringing reinforcements in small groups. The work of our artillery and FPV drone operators is being noted for the better on the ground. They report the destruction of an enemy Su-25 opposite the Cossack Camps.

▪️ On the #Zaporozhye front, in conditions of rain and muddy conditions, no movement of AFU armoured vehicles towards the Russian positions was observed, the enemy was pulling up groups of infantry to the frontline. In the first half of the day, our artillery and mortars worked on planned targets.

▪️In the #Avdeyevka area continued fighting. The former sections of the front remain the hottest, the #Slagheap (the Russian Army is defending the occupied positions), the railway area near #Berdychi. Bad weather here too has had an effect on reducing the intensity of the fighting.

▪️ On the #Kleshcheyevka - #Andreyevka line, an enemy tank and several armoured vehicles were destroyed. The RF Armed Forces continue to defend this section of the front.

▪️ In the #Kursk region, there were 7 arrivals in the village of Popovo-Lezhachi, Glushkovsky district. In the village of #Gorodishche, Rylsk district, a gas pipeline was broken and electricity supply was disrupted. In the #DPR, a civilian was wounded as a result of shelling by the AFU.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Battle for #Avdeyevka - Situation until the End of 26 October 2023⚡️

🔹 Russian troops
continue the operation to cover and block the #Avdeyevka fortified area.

▪️ After the RF Armed Forces gained a foothold on the "#Slagheap", the AFU unsuccessfully tried to retake what they had lost. Control over the tactically favourable height makes it possible to keep #Avdeyevka itself and the approaches to it under surveillance.

▪️ The RF Armed Forces are attacking bypassing the heap in the direction of the plant itself.

▪️ Another group of troops has begun assault operations from the direction of #Yasinovataya: they have managed to come very close to the Donetsk Filtration Station, which has been turned into a powerful fortification.

▪️ To the south, the joint efforts of several brigades of the Russian army made a breakthrough from the #Opytnoye - #Spartak line. Despite dense mining, Russian troops occupied landings 1.5 km from the Khimik microdistrict.

▪️ From the south, assault groups of the RF Armed Forces bypassed the AFU fortification at the Tsarskaya Okhota recreation centre along the Ring Road and blocked a half-destroyed base of Ukrainian anti-aircraft gunners. Their supply is cut off, as the approaches are under the fire control of the RF Armed Forces. The AFU militants complain about the lack of assistance, demanding reinforcements be sent.

▪️ The situation of the Ukrainian grouping in #Avdeyevka has badly deteriorated. Because of this, the 47 Mechanized Brigade of the AFU has been transferred from the #Zaporozhye direction in full strength. From the side of #Pervomayskoye the AFU are trying to hit in the flank, drawing in the 9th Brigade of the RF Armed Forces.

❗️In the coming days, several more Ukrainian brigades are expected from different directions. This creates ideal conditions for a counteroffensive of the RF Armed Forces in other parts of the front, where the lines will be denuded.

📌And in #Avdeyevka, one of the key factors in holding and further covering the suburbs of #Donetsk is the early destruction of suitable reserves even before they enter the battle.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ #Chronicle of the Special Military Operation for 28 October 2023⚡️

🔹In the area around
#Avdeyevka, massive artillery duels are taking place. The enemy, supported by aircraft, is launching massive strikes on Russian positions near the #Slagheap occupied earlier. The Russian Aerospace Forces, in turn, are covering the Avdeyevka Coke Plant adjacent to the #Slagheap to the south. Colleagues from the NgP raZVedka channel report that during the night the AFU command evacuated its headquarters from #Avdeyevka in anticipation of active actions by the RF Armed Forces.

🔹In the #Kherson direction, Russian servicemen managed to intercept another boat with a Ukrainian landing force in the Dacha area. The AFU also made another sortie towards #Peschanovka, but did not succeed. At the same time, the enemy continues to hold a small bridgehead in #Krynki.

🔹In the #Orekhov section, Ukrainian formations attacked the Russian positions a little west of #Rabotino, but retreated under artillery fire. Fighting also continues near #Verbovoye, where Russian fighters managed to destroy at least three Leopards during the day.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ War Map and the Situation on the Fronts for the Evening of 28 Oct 2023; pub. 00:05⚡️

👍 In the Yasynuvatsky district, near the village of #Spartak, the AFUshniks attacked a civilian car with a kamikaze drone. On his way home, the civilian's navigator started malfunctioning, which put him near the line of contact. The enemy targeted the car. The driver died on the spot, and his mother, who was in the car, miraculously survived. But not enough, even a few days later a corrective UAV was hovering over the scene of the tragedy to prevent Russian fighters from taking the man's body.

⚔️ Situation on the Fronts over the past Day

🔹
#Svatovo - #Kremennaya Direction:

▪️ The Russian army continues to advance in the #Kupyansk area. There is fighting near #Sinkovka and #Kislovka. In addition, there is an advance in the area of #Makeyevka.
▪️Near #Torskoye and in the #Serebryanskoye forest without changes.

🔹#Donetsk Direction:

▪️ In the #Avdeyevka section, fighting continues in the area of the railway near #Steponoye (#Petrovskoye). In the area of the #Slagheap, our fighters are consolidating their positions, which allows them to increasingly work on enemy positions in the city itself. Raids by Russian FPV drones have been particularly successful. In addition, our fighters are gradually advancing south of #Avdeyevka and in the #Severnoye area.
▪️ In the #Maryinka sector, there are successes at #Novomikhaylovka.

🔹#Zaporozhye Direction:

▪️ In the #Orekhov section the AFU tried to break through our defence between #Kopani and #Rabotino, but ran into the firepower of the Russian army. On the #Vremyevka ledge, our fighters counterattacked west of #Novodonetskoye.

⚡️ The Russian Army worked on 404 military infrastructure in the #Dnepropetrovsk and #Odessa regions. Facilities in Krivoy Rog were under attack, as well as in the #Izmail district, where the enemy's port infrastructure is located.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦🔎 On the Similarities for the AFU between Battle for #Bakhmut and the Situation in #Avdeyevka⚡️

❗️The AFU Position
is deteriorating and the options for action become fewer.

🔹How did Events Develop?

▪️At the first stage of the operation, the AFU failed to disrupt the execution of the Russian plan, in particular, to identify and hit places of troop staging, to prevent the advance of mechanised columns, etc.

▪️Apparently, at the start of active operations, the relationship between part of the AFU forces was disrupted and the interconnected fire system was partially paralysed. In particular, this manifested itself in a gradually weakening counterbattery fight. Currently, the situation does not change. The AFU positions and rear areas are under constant shelling. The response of the AFU is limited.

▪️A significant part of the AFU's artillery and air defences were partially destroyed by strikes during the initial operation phase, and the surviving ones are suppressed on a regular basis. This allowed the Russian Army to use all types of artillery, as well as bomber and army aviation, including attack helicopters, for strikes.

🔹What is the Main Difficulty for the AFU?

▪️The city garrison receives ammo and other supplies via the #Berdychi - #Petrovskoye - #Semyonovka area and the #Orlovka - #Lastochkino line. The logistics system partially resembles the scheme used by the AFU during the defence of #Bakhmut. The transport and logistics systems in both cases relies on a road network clearly visible to Russian troops. Most of the routes are unpaved, the use of which for active transport in the autumn-winter period will be difficult and slow down the supply.

▪️It is noteworthy that in early October the AFU tried to move mechanised forces from the #Zaporozhye direction towards #Donetsk. In particular, Leopard 2 tanks, M2 Bradley IFVs and M113 APCs of the 47th Mechanized Brigade were spotted there. They are now assumed to be northwest of the city, but are not being sent into combat for security reasons.

🔹What is the Situation Now?

▪️The AFU now face active fights in the northern #Avdeyevka section, at #Slagheap and close to the railway in the area of #Koksokhim. The distance between the northern and southern sections has already been reduced to 7 km in a straight line. If this trend continues, the city garrisons and the troops in the areas of #Stepovoye, #Orlovka, #Severnoye and #Avdeyevka will begin to face problems with evacuating the wounded and supplying them in the same way as they did in #Bakhmut. It is unlikely that mosquito logistics using pickups will help where the density of Russian artillery fire is maximum.

▪️No massive inflow of fresh AFU forces into the area has been recorded so far, nor has there been any mass use of aircraft, AFVs or artillery. Some AFU troops are in the semicircle, holding fortified positions, but at the moment they are rather isolated from the active battle than actively participating in it.

❗️It is important to understand that the AFU does not have the initiative at #Avdeyevka at the moment and is in passive defence. This may be due both to the lack of forces in the area and the impossibility of transferring significant reinforcements to threatened areas, and to the lack of clear objectives by the command. In simple terms, the AFU command presumably has no consensus on whether the defence of the city should be continued or if they should be withdrawn to more advantageous positions.

📌 Given that #Ukraine's political leadership prefers to cling on territory at any cost and tends to ignore the military's advice, we can assume that a voluntary withdrawal from #Avdeyevka is unlikely. However, the defence of this area may become much more difficult for the AFU than in #Mariupol or #Bakhmut.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ #Chronicle of the Special Military Operation for 31 October 2023⚡️

🔹The RF Armed Forces
retain the initiative in the #Donetsk and #Starobelsk directions. Today's fighting for the #Avdeyevka fortification was memorable for the destruction of a Leopard 2A6 tank and the repelling of enemy attacks near #Krasnogorovka and the #Slagheap.

🔹The AFU is taking the most active actions on the left bank of the #Dnieper. The enemy is still moving fresh forces to #Krynki in an attempt to hold the bridgehead. At the same time, Ukrainian formations did not carry out any active offensive operations in the #Orekhov section.

🔹After a long period of relative calm, the AFU attacked the Russian border regions on a massive scale. During the day, local authorities and the Russian Ministry of Defence reported interceptions of Ukrainian UAVs and shelling of populated areas. The #Bryansk region came under the most intense fire.

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ War Map and the Situation on the Fronts for the Evening of 31 October 2023; pub. 00:06⚡️

👍 The AFU shelled residential neighbourhoods in the Budyonnovsky district of #Donetsk with cluster munitions. After the first strikes, a large fire broke out. And after rescuers and an ambulance arrived at the scene, the enemy launched a second attack, which killed two civilians and wounded 12 people, including three journalists and two employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations.

⚔️ Situation on the Fronts over the past Day

🔹
#Bakhmut (#Artyomovsk) Direction:

▪️ The Russian army counterattacked in the #Berkhovka area. Fierce fighting continues near #Kleshcheyevka and #Andreyevka, with our fighters foiling all attempts by the AFU to break through near the railway. In addition, the enemy unsuccessfully attacked near #Kurdyumovka.

🔹#Donetsk Direction:

▪️ In the #Avdeyevka sector, our fighters foiled attempts by the AFU men to counterattack near the #Slagheap. In addition, the Russian army advanced in the area of #Severnoye, as well as #Pervomayskoye.
▪️ There are no changes in #Maryinka. At #Novomikhaylovka there is an advance in the direction of the pumping station.

🔹#Zaporozhye Direction:

▪️ In the #Orekhov section, the AFU are pounding our positions in the areas of #Kopani and #Novoprokopovka without much success. Meanwhile, Russian fighters counterattacked near #Verbovoye.
▪️ Positional battles are taking place on the #Vremyevka ledge.

⚡️ The Russian Army struck enemy military airfields in the #Khmelnitsky and #Poltava regions. The Su-24s left by the AFU are stored in #Starokonstantinov and #Mirgorod. In addition, enemy depots of ammo, fuel and lubricants could have been hit.

💡 Near #Avdeyevka, Russian UAV operators filmed the destruction of a Leopard from the first shot. The tank from the notorious 47th AFU Brigade was not helped either by the welded grills or the crew hurriedly fleeing from the burning vehicle. The fighters themselves were delighted after successfully hitting the target, especially since it was the first German "cat" for them.

📋🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Two Majors #Report for the Morning of 1 November 2023; pub. 07:00📍

▪️
The RF Armed Forces carried out a massive raid on enemy targets in the rear at night. "Geraniums" hit targets in #Kremenchuk and #Mirgorod in the #Poltava region, explosions were reported in the #Kiev, #Chernigov and #Khmelnitsky regions.

▪️ In the #Kherson direction, the enemy holds a part of the #Krynki settlement at a high cost. Yesterday, an AFU marine was taken prisoner in this area, and our artillery and TOS continue to fire constantly at enemy positions. In the radio conversations of the enemy who crossed over, there are requests to evacuate and reports that it is impossible to continue attempts to break through. The enemy shore is treated with heavy FABs and artillery.

▪️ On the #Zaporozhye front near #Rabotino, a group of enemy infantry deployed to the line of contact was destroyed. It is reported that the RF Armed Forces are increasing the use of Krasnopol M2 high precision projectiles to suppress enemy firing points. Despite this, the intensity of the AFU's artillery fire is not decreasing.

▪️ In the #Avdeyevka sector, heavy fighting continues on the northern flank near the #Slagheap. Information about the beginning of the assault on the industrial zone of the Avdeyevka Coke Plant turned out to be premature; the RF Armed Forces are carrying out preparatory tasks. The AFU's logistical capabilities are being reduced. One of the few roads for supplying the enemy group remains the path through the locality of #Orlovka.

▪️ Over the past day, shelling of Russian border regions intensified. In the #Belgorod region, #Shebekino was shelled twice during the day. In the #Kursk region, the Korenevsky district and the village of #Daryino in the Sujan district. In the #Bryansk region. #Aleynikovo in the Starodubsky municipal district. The area of #Sushany village in the Klimovsky district. The settlement of Belaya Beryozka in the Trubchevsky district. In addition, two UAVs were destroyed over the #Kursk region, two over the #Belgorod region and one over the #Bryansk region. On #Donetsk, the AFU fired 168 rounds of ammunition, two civilians were killed.

▪️ In #Sevastopol, an air alert was announced again in the morning.
