At the moment, after unsuccessful attempts to attack and gain a foothold in positions in the area of the villages of Novomayorskoye and Novodonetskoye, units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces have switched to defense and positional warfare in order to rotate and replenish the assault groups.
According to Voin DV, in the area north of Novomayorsky, the enemy from the 35th Infantry Brigade was forced to retreat due to loss of combat capability. For the same reason, one of the battalions of the 110th Territorial Defense Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces was completely withdrawn from the combat zone and replaced by units of the 127th TrO brigade.
Russian artillerymen are striking at concentrations of personnel and armored vehicles of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Prechistovka and Zolotaya Niva in order to disrupt the restoration and rotation of Ukrainian formations.

17:30 Telegram-channel “Rybar”: another raid of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Crimea
At night, Ukrainian formations again launched six drones in the direction of the Crimean peninsula. The takeoff of the drones was recorded by units of the PMC "Bears" at around 21.00 from the north of Zaporozhye/southern Dnepropetrovsk regions
After midnight, the UAVs flew to Crimea, bypassing air defense detection areas in new Russian territories. The first three UAVs were shot down by crews of the 31st Air Force and Air Defense Divisions near Portovoy and Cape Tarkhankut.
Another one was destroyed on approach to the Kirovsky airfield (it had already become a target of the Ukrainian Armed Forces more than once), and two more were hit over Feodosia. Judging by the area where the debris fell, Ukrainian formations tried to strike the oil depot again.
One of the drones discovered near the power facility vaguely resembles drones manufactured by the Ukrjet company. Based on the visual outline, it can be assumed that this is something similar to the UJ-22 Airborne or UJ-31 Zlyva.
Russian air defense units coped with the attack, but the raid itself was small in number and more like testing the air defense before a more massive attack.

Watch the video and appreciate both the skill of the Special Forces fighter and what the “Ghoul” from the Ural masters from the “Turned in War” team is capable of in capable hands.
The drone, already assembled on an almost industrial scale, without a penny of government or sponsorship funds, created exclusively thanks to subscribers of tg channels, has turned into one of the most effective tools of war. Now the “Ghoul” reached the Svatovo-Kremennaya front, destroying the dugout of the 66th mechanized brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces -video.
16:00 Kleshcheevka now –video.
15:35 Telegram channel “Fisherman“: repeated strike by the Russian Armed Forces in the area of the tank repair plant in Kharkov
At night, around 01.00 local time, Russian troops launched a second strike with four missiles on the outskirts of the Khar'kov Armored Plant (KhBTZ). The targets of the attack were two workshops of a reinforced concrete products plant located nearby.
In the first building on Bol'shaya Panasovskaya, 218, a large ammunition depot was hit: within 20 minutes after the arrival and the start of the fire, rounds continued to detonate and fragments scattered.
In the second building at Bol'shaya Panasovskaya, 220 there was a parking lot for equipment, mainly trucks. They were also destroyed.
This is the second attack in the vicinity of the enterprise in a day: on the morning of September 16, the Russian Armed Forces accurately hit one of the two workshops of the main production activity at the KhBTZ, and also accurately hit the parking lot of armored vehicles in the building of the reinforced concrete plant.
Both facilities were truly of great importance to the enemy: the first had been constantly repairing tanks since the spring of 2022, and the second was used as a storage facility for repaired armored vehicles before being loaded at the railway station for shipment to the front line. As it turned out, there was also an ammunition depot there.
Separately, it is worth noting the extremely competent approach of the Russian Armed Forces to the destruction of these targets. At least two missiles were allocated to each target, and after additional reconnaissance, Russian troops promptly launched a second strike, which the Ukrainian Armed Forces simply did not expect.
And although this required greater scrupulousness and consumption of ammunition, the result of the attack fully justified all the costs
