21:10 Hit from a drone on the dugout of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Avdeevka area, burned out all living things inside
21:09 The Russian Su-27 did not allow the American reconnaissance UAV RQ-4B Global Howk to violate the state border over the Black Sea, the Russian Defense Ministry reported
19:29 The head of communications of the OBTF "Cascade" spoke about the situation on the Vremevsky ledge.
“AFU soldiers don’t want to fight!
Our “birds” constantly monitor every move of the enemy, and electronic intelligence systems hear every word: the neo-Nazis are disoriented, afraid and do not want to fight.
Every day a large number of Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers surrender, forced into war and not wanting to die for the sake of the criminal Kyiv regime.”
18:42 Over the last half hour, our aircraft immediately struck the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the right bank several times.
Since the beginning of the day (from 00:00) this was already the nine series of attacks from our aviation. Apparently, the forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces that are planning an attack on the left bank are being attacked.
17:25 War correspondent Evgeny Poddubny:
“The enemy continues to lose combat aircraft: over the past 24 hours, two more Ukrainian MiG-29s were shot down. Russian air defense has worked.
Losses of front-line fighters of the Ukrainian Armed Forces have become a mass phenomenon in recent days. Mig-29 is one of the most common models of Soviet aircraft, which are owned by about 30 countries around the world. Even at the start of the Russian special operation in Ukraine, a number of Eastern European countries pledged to transfer their MiG-29s, which were hanging on their balance sheets, to the Kyiv regime.
Judging by the number of destroyed vehicles - and there are already nearly two dozen of them over the last week - old fighters from Europe did reach Ukraine, but turned out to be completely powerless against the Russian Aerospace Forces and anti-aircraft gunners.”
16:37 Ukrainian Telegram channels report the advance of the Russian military near Avdievka.
“The enemy advanced to the west of Krasnogorovka, coming close to the railway track (one of the routes for supplying the Avdeevsky fortified area of the Ukrainian Armed Forces - ed.). An extremely difficult situation […] The waste heap was most likely lost a couple of days ago, but we will wait for more accurate information,” the message says.
Russian military officers say that the Avdeevsky waste heap is an important strategic height. Its occupation allows you to effectively conduct reconnaissance and fire on Ukrainian Armed Forces positions.
The General Staff did not comment on this information.
16:10 Ukrainian militants fired five rockets from the MLRS at the Kuybyshevsky and Kievsky districts of Donetsk - JCCC DPR.
16:05 According to the operational lines of the DPR JCCC for October 24, as of 16:00, additional information was received about civilian casualties in the cities of the Republic:
Donetsk (Kuibyshevsky district):
– at 5 Kolkhozny Ave., a man born in 1963 was wounded.
Additional information has been received about damage as a result of artillery attack by the Air Force in the cities of the Republic:
Donetsk (Petrovsky district):
– st. Wagnera, 17 – direct hit in an apartment building.
15:37 The Armed Forces of Ukraine began to lose tanks and infantry fighting vehicles in the Zaporozhye direction due to new “mine corridors”: analysisMilitary chronicle:
The scale of mining in the rear areas of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Zaporozhye direction is gradually increasing. Now the Ukrainian army is faced with the problem of minefields not only when attempting to advance, but also when moving in its own rear.
Since October 10, units of the 128th Mountain Assault Brigade, the 108th Territorial Defense Brigade, as well as rear units and support units of the 116th and 117th Mechanized Brigades began to lose people and equipment in previously safe rear areas. According to the Military Chronicle, they suffer losses in minefields, the installation sites of which are constantly changing.
As a result, Ukrainian troops are actively losing not only armored vehicles, but also a significant part of lightly armored and unarmored vehicles. Over 14 days, at least four such incidents were recorded: two in the area of Orekhov and Malaya Tokmachka, two more to the west of the main direction of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ attack in Zaporozhye, in the area of Stepovoye and Malye Shcherbaky.
Presumably, new minefields appeared due to the increased use of remote mining engineering systems "Agriculture".
In November 2022, it became known about the expansion of production of these systems at the NPO Splav enterprise.
The installation of new minefields at the end of October showed that for Ukrainian troops the problem of overcoming such obstacles is gradually becoming a daily task and forcing them to retrain significant forces needed for ground attacks in the Rabotino - Verbovoe - Novoprokopovka, Stepovoye - Lobkovoe - Pyatikhatki sectors into demining units, as well as Kamenskoye - Zherebyanki.
Continuous minefields, the appearance of which both forward and rear units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces cannot detect in advance, regularly appear in an area of ??54 km (from west to east) and an area of approximately 475 square m/km. The Ukrainian Armed Forces cannot control such a territory with the existing forces, so the vast majority of units move along the main roads at their own peril and risk.
The new tactics for placing minefields are in some ways reminiscent of a game of thimbles: while the Ukrainian Armed Forces are waiting for new minefields to appear in one place and assign sappers to survey the territory, barriers appear in another place, and then in several more, hindering the mobility of the mechanized units of the Ukrainian army.
The precipitation that fell on the territory of the Zaporozhye region has already complicated the rotation and supply of Ukrainian units, the evacuation of damaged equipment of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the removal of the wounded, and extensive minefields make the situation and combat environment as hostile and dangerous as possible for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
It is important to note that, along with the installation of anti-tank minefields, anti-personnel minefields are also installed. Thus, the Armed Forces of Ukraine in a number of areas, in particular in the area of the village of Rabotino, do not have the opportunity to move, carry out supplies and medical evacuation both on equipment and on foot.
13:30 Battle for Avdievka situation as of 13.00 October 24, 2023
Fighting continues around the Avdeevsky fortified area. After clearing the waste heap, Russian soldiers went on the defensive and consolidated in the occupied areas, while the enemy, on the contrary, pulled in reinforcements for a counterattack.
Due to heavy losses, at least one battalion of the 47th Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces was transferred from the Orekhovsky sector to Ocheretino and Novobakhmutovka. Their forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces tried to strike positions near the waste heap, but to no avail.
Similar enemy counterattacks came from the coke plant in Avdeevka, as well as on Opytnoye and Pervomaisky. Ukrainian formations intended to occupy the gray zone, but by artillery strikes of the Russian Armed Forces they were forced back to their starting positions.
Russian aviation and artillery continue to target enemy lines. The losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are growing: according to sources, during a week of active fighting, the number of killed members of the Armed Forces of Ukraine alone exceeded 1,000 people and 60 pieces of equipment.
There are losses on our side, too, but thanks to the chosen tactics of total destruction of the fortified area and subsequent clearing of the area, our command managed to reduce their number to a minimum.
12:49 It is reported that our aviation again worked on the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Berislavsky district of the Kiev-occupied part of the Kherson region.
12:39 Statement Head of the press center of the "South" group
In the Donetsk direction, units of the “Southern” group of troops, with the support of aviation and artillery fire, repelled an enemy attack and defeated concentrations of manpower and military equipment of enemy units in the areas of the settlements of Kleshcheevka, Orlovka, Bogdanovka.
The enemy lost more than 160 soldiers killed and wounded. Two armored combat vehicles and four vehicles were destroyed. An ammunition depot in the Novomikhailovka area was hit by artillery.
Fire damage was caused to the temporary deployment points of units of the 53rd Mechanized Brigade and the 38th Antiaircraft Missile Regiment of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
During the counterbattery fight, the enemy lost the 152mm towed Msta-B howitzer and 122mm D-30 howitzer.

11:25 Kupyansky section situation as of 11.00 October 24, 2023
Near Kupyansk, Russian troops continue their systematic assault on Ukrainian positions. Over the past few days, local attacks supported by artillery of the Russian Armed Forces have driven out the forces of the 115th Mechanized Brigade from several strong points.
Enemy losses reached significant numbers. Now the formations of the Terrestrial Defense and the 40th Artillery Brigade are mining the approaches to the forward lines in order to complicate the advance of the Russian Army.
Nevertheless, the position of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the command of the Kupyansk group is recognized as critical. To strengthen the forward lines in anticipation of a new phase of the offensive of the Russian Armed Forces, the transfer of reinforcements began.
Unidentified units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were sent from the Soledar direction and from the Zhitomir region to Kupyansk. Also, 200 people from the 4th Brigade of the National Guard and 300 people from the 15th Border Detachment of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine occupy the lines in Dvurechnaya, Sin'kovka, Petropavlovka and Stelmakhovka.
The enemy grouping near Kupyansk has strengthened, which confirms the information about the extremely difficult situation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the area.

10:10 News from the front. Kherson direction.
“There is a breakdown in attempts to develop at least some progress from the islands to populated areas.
For two days, almost non-stop, they smashed the enemy with artillery.
The enemy is still using tactics to gain a foothold in small groups, crossing to the left bank in boats. Groups of up to 20 fighters.
The military leadership of Kyiv is well informed about the futility of developing any semblance of a serious offensive or advancing in depth, which is confirmed by our interceptions, but they continue to send suicide bombers.
These same groups were defeated by our artillery fire. In some of the 20 people, 3-4 remained capable, the rest were either liquidated or crippled (300).
The personnel who brought up the “shifts” and the BC were also cleared.
This does not mean calm and pause for some time. Thanks to widespread mobilization, the enemy still has enough human resources. He climbs, no matter what.
Yes, an ordinary Ukrainian refuses to get into the meat grinder, he sees the bodies of his brothers-in-arms who have already littered the left bank in the area of the crossings, but they don’t offer him any options, no matter how much the propaganda sounds. So far something like this..."
