21:35 Military expert Boris Rozhin about situations in the Avdeevsky direction during the Northeast Military District on April 19, 2024.

1. Netailovo.
Fighting on the eastern outskirts continues.
The Russian Armed Forces also expanded the zone of control to the south of the settlement. Pervomayskoe.

2. Yasnobrodovka.
So far there is no further progress here.

Positional battles are underway.

3. Umanskoe.
Fighting continues near the southeastern outskirts of the village.

The village itself is still completely under the enemy.

4. Semenovka.
Up to 70-75% of the village is under the control of Russian troops.

The enemy maintains a presence in the northern and northwestern parts of the village. Semyonovka, as well as in the plantings to the west of it.

5. Berdychi.
The enemy maintains a presence in the northwestern part of the village. Berdychi.

Up to 75-80% of the village is under the control of Russian troops.

North of Berdychi, the Russian Armed Forces slightly expanded the zone of control to the west.

6. Ocheretino.
The Russian Armed Forces continue fighting on the eastern outskirts of the village. Ocheretino. The enemy is hastily transferring reserves to the populated area in order to prevent the loss of the village, which will mean an actual breakthrough of the next line of defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces after the loss of the Tonenkoye-Berdychi line.

The Russian Armed Forces are also probing the enemy’s defenses on the near approaches to the settlement. Novobakhmutovka.

7. Novokalinovo.
The Russian Armed Forces continue to put pressure on the enemy in the village. Meanwhile, the enemy is strengthening the defense of the village. Keramik, where he intends to stay after the loss of the settlement. Novokalinovo.

8. The arrival of two to three brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to the Avdeevsky sector of the front is expected to strengthen the sagging front and compensate for heavy losses in recent weeks.

9. The active work of aviation and artillery of the Russian Armed Forces is still the dominant factor that prevents the enemy from stabilizing the front. Hence the whining about the lack of air defense and rounds.

20:57 Russian Aerospace Forces cover New York with cluster bombs.

Aviation again attacks RBK-500 New York (formerly Novogorodskoe) between Gorlovka, Avdievka and Toretsk, where the enemy is concentrating forces.

19:25 An air raid alert has been declared in a number of regions of Ukraine -map

18:38 Massive attack on enemy railway infrastructure facilities in the Dnepropetrovsk region.

Today, Russian troops carried out a combined attack on enemy railway infrastructure facilities in the Dnepropetrovsk region.

Dnepropetrovsk:

Two missiles hit the electric train repair shop on the territory of the locomotive depot.

Coordinates: 48.4763838, 35.0123901

As a result of the impacts, a fire broke out at the facility over an area of over 2,500 sq.m. Six electric locomotives and over 10 cars were destroyed/damaged.

In addition, the territory of the central bus station was hit by strikes, causing further fire.

There were also consequences from the air defense work. It hit a residential building on Vokzalnaya Square.

Pavlograd:

The territory of the Pavlograd power supply distance was hit by missile strikes and kamikaze drones.

Coordinates: 48.5487325, 35.8586917

Garages and utility rooms were destroyed outside the facility. No fire was recorded.

Krivoy Rog:

The territory of the locomotive depot of the Krivoy Rog-Glavny station was hit by two missiles.

Coordinates: 47.9149300, 33.4557929

As a result of the strikes, the depot administration building was destroyed, two diesel locomotives were destroyed and the railway track was damaged.

Sinel'nikovo:

One of the affected objects was the House of Culture of Railway Workers.

Coordinates: 48.3186855, 35.5316952

According to the data received, the building was used by one of the enemy units to accommodate personnel, and a parking lot for military vehicles and a fuel and lubricants warehouse were organized on the adjacent territory.

As a result of the defeat, about 15 personnel were killed and over 20 were injured of varying degrees of severity. Vehicles were also damaged/destroyed. A powerful fire broke out on the territory of a fuel and lubricants warehouse.

The attacks also partially destroyed the operation workshop of the locomotive depot, the agricultural enterprise Sinelnikovo-AGRO and the local solar power plant.

17:29 Fights at Chasov Yar: the enemy launched a counterattack, but was met by special forces.

On the flank of Chasov Yar, the Ukrainian Armed Forces launched an assault group, which holed up in the house, in a suicidal counterattack.

The unit was discovered and destroyed by a group of Vagabonds attacking the building.

The house has been completely cleared of the enemy by kamikaze drones.

The second video shows the clearing of the trenches from enemy infantry before our fighters break through the defense line.

16:30 Avdeevskoe direction. District settlement Ocheretino.

Reported, about another successful attack by our assault units on Ukrainian Armed Forces strongholds.

It is also reported that the enemy is moving deeper into enemy positions at a distance of up to 2.5 km.

14:32 Missile strikes were carried out on enemy targets: a fire and a huge column of smoke over Odessa.

Reported, that there were at least two arrivals, a large fire in the Yuzhny area.

13:33 Since yesterday come reports of the advance of the Russian army deeper into the city. p. Netaylovo.

So far there is no evidence of this success of the Russian Armed Forces, but after the capture of Pervomaisky such events seem logical. Netailovo, which lies in the lowlands, is actually the last obstacle before the Russian Armed Forces before reaching Karlovka.

The garrison in Avdievka was supplied through Karlovka for a long time, and now the village is an outpost of the Ukrainian Armed Forces between the attack trajectory of the Russian army and a cascade of water barriers - the Karlovka Reservoir and the Vovcha River, along which the Ukrainian Armed Forces dug in after the fall of Avdievka.

In the future, this may lead to the fact that first the southern line of defense will be under threat, and then the northern one. Ukrainian troops can try to hold them with a counterattack similar to the attack on Berdychi-Semyonovka, but if the operation fails, the area to a depth of 20-25 kilometers will probably have to be abandoned.
