⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ #Chronicle of the Special Military Operation for 9 Jan 2023⚡️
♦️#Belgorod region
▪️Russian anti-aircraft defence worked near #Belgorod. All shells were intercepted.
♦️#Starobelsk Direction (MAP):
▪️In the #Kupyansk - #Svatovo section of the AFU, personnel are being rotated. In the #Raygorodka direction, reinforcements have been moved to the 103rd Territorial Defence Brigade's strongholds, and new forces have arrived in #Stelmakhovka.
➖UAV operators of the 40th Combined Battalion and the 92nd Mechanized Brigade of the AFU conduct reconnaissance of Russian positions near #Kuzemovka, #Naugolnoye, and #Kolomiychikha.
▪️The reconnaissance activity of Ukrainian SRGs and Fly Eye UAVs from the 80th Separate Air Assault Brigade has increased in the #Liman area. The enemy is drawing in reserves for an offensive in the area of #Dibrova.
▪️A battery of M777 howitzers is installed in #Torskoye and at least 15 armoured vehicles are deployed in #Terny.
▪️Increased activity of Ukrainian aviation has been noted over the #Kharkov region, which could indicate an imminent offensive against Russian positions.
♦️#Soledar Direction (MAP):
▪️Wagner PMC assault troops are advancing in the centre and the northern outskirts of #Soledar. Fierce fighting is taking place near the city administration building.
➖ Communications are disrupted between the surviving scattered enemy formations. Presumably the enemy is preparing to withdraw from the city due to difficulty in holding positions.
▪️Northeast of #Bakhmut (#Artyomovsk), Russian units, taking advantage of the terrain, have broken through the defences of the AFU's 17th Tank Brigade and 60th Mechanized Brigade from the direction of #Podgorodnoye and #Bakhmutskoye, opening the way for further offensive on Krasnaya Gora and #Paraskovievka. A sweep of the strongholds adjacent to the villages is ongoing.
➖ Further success of the Russian forces in this area will make it possible to cut the #Seversk - #Bakhmut highway, which will cut off the AFU grouping supplies in #Bakhmut from the north.
➖South and southwest of #Bakhmut, "Wagnerian" assault troops are attacking AFU strongholds in #Kleshchiyevka and #Opytnoye. Both villages are under full fire control of Russian troops.
♦️#Donetsk Direction:
▪️Positional fighting continues in the centre of #Maryinka. Russian units are trying to push the AFU to the western outskirts of the city.
▪️Ukrainian terrorist formations have again shelled civilian facilities in #Donetsk agglomeration. #Gorlovka and #Aleksandrovka have been hit. In the DPR capital, artillery fire killed one woman and injured three people.
♦️#Zaporozhye Region:
▪️Artillery duels continue along the entire contact line, with Russian forces hitting targets in #Charivnoye, Malaya Shcherbaki, #Stepovoye and #Novodanilovka.
▪️Ukrainian militants shelled #Dorozhnyanka and #Vasilievka.
♦️#Kherson Direction on Southern Front:
▪️In the afternoon, Russian troops hit a target in #Ochakov, Nikolaev region. An AFU ammunition depot located on the territory of the former 7th Coastal Battery was destroyed.
➖ After the strike, there was a strong explosion at the site. Presumably, an anti-aircraft radar station was also destroyed in addition to the ammunition depot.
▪️Ukrainian formations shelled Golaya Pristan, killing a married couple.
