[NewsFront] 23:50 Official summary of the DPR Representation in the JCCC from 00:00 11/01/2023 to 00:00 11/02/2023 Over the past 24 hours Representation reported about 44 facts of firing by the Ukrainian Federal Unitary Forces.

Information has been received about the death of a civilian, a girl, in the Kuibyshevsky district of Donetsk.

Four civilians were injured of varying degrees of severity in the Kirovsky and Petrovsky districts of Donetsk.

Nine residential buildings were damaged in the Kirovsky, Kuibyshevsky and Petrovsky districts of Donetsk, Lugansk, as well as one civil infrastructure facility.

Districts of four settlements of the Republic were under enemy fire: Lugansk, Gorlovka (Tsentralno-Gorodskoy, Nikitovsky districts), Yasinovatsky district, the capital city of Donetsk (Budennovsky, Kievsky, Kuibyshevsky, Kirovsky, Petrovsky districts).

In the Donetsk direction, the enemy carried out 15 attacks from MLRS, incl. with a cluster warhead, 155mm artillery, attack UAV.

At Gorlovka there were 27 artillery attacks from MLRS and 152mm artillery.

At Svetlodarsky there was one artillery attack from 155mm artillery.

On Yasinovatsky one artillery attack from 155mm artillery, incl. with a cassette warhead.

A total of 155 units of various ammunition were fired. A previous 47 artillery attacks were recorded from the VFU during the day.

21:00 Briefly in the Avdeevsky direction.

Fighting is going on in small groups with artillery support. The enemy responds. Now the main task is to keep the waste heap. The most difficult situation is there.

Otherwise there are no changes yet.

19:47 Situation in the Krasno-Limansky direction as of 11/01/2023 – analysis from @Multi_XAM:

The strengthening of the operational-tactical group “Liman” of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is recorded. The current stage of hostilities is characterized by the concentration of enemy forces and assets in the Krasno-Limansk direction, which until recently remained a relatively stable section of the front.

While our troops are conducting an offensive operation on the flanks of the Avdeevsky fortified area, the enemy is transferring reserves of tank units and artillery from Slavyansk and Izyum to Krasny Liman, as well as to the junction of the Kharkov region, the occupied part of the DPR and the Svatovo-Kremennaya line.

There is also a strengthening of the Seversk reserve group of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which holds the direction Torskoye - Bogdanovka (with an eye on Lisichansk) and Soledar. Probably, the activation of the enemy in the indicated area was caused by the partial transfer of units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from near Konstantinovka and Chasov Yar to the area of the settlement of Keramik.

At the same time, military command and control bodies are partially withdrawn from Krasny Liman and are withdrawn in the direction of Slavyansk. On the northeastern outskirts of Krasny Liman and in the Yampol area, the construction of new fortifications is noted, which indicates either false maneuvers (in case of a possible counterattack) or the strengthening of defenses in this area.

The danger now also comes from the rear area of the Redkodub and Novoe settlements, at a distance of 15-20 km from the Svatovsky section of the LBS, where armored reserves are accumulating (presumably 1 Tank Brigade).

19:00 The NGP Razvedka channel reports from the Avdeevsky direction:

Reports from the northern flank about the occupation of the western side of the railway by our forces do not correspond to reality; reconnaissance was carried out in force, no positions were occupied.

AKHZ was hit by a missile and bomb attack by the Aerospace Forces and heavy MLRS; among other things, a personnel accommodation point and an underground ammunition storage facility were hit, and secondary detonation was heard in nearby populated areas. They continue to compact Kabanchik, the destruction of materiel is very painful for the enemy, since it is impossible to transport large volumes of ammunition along the only road through Orlovka.

Along the southern flank.

Last night our forces carried out a daring foray into the area of the former air defense unit and, taking advantage of the surprise factor, eliminated several enemy observation posts along with the inhabitants.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces continue to fire with cassettes, but do not go on the attack.

Some units are threatening the command that they will leave their positions because they cannot wait for rotation for about a week, and the condition of the personnel does not allow them to remain on task for such a long time.

Separately for the quarry: work is underway, we remind you that the capture of positions is followed by clearing and consolidation; in the case of a quarry, it is still necessary to go through higher work so that the victory does not become Pyrrhic.

18:30 A powerful explosion is reported in Nikolaev. Previously, an Iskander ballistic missile struck the river port.

18:30 A powerful explosion is reported in Nikolaev. Previously, an Iskander ballistic missile struck the river port.

17:27 Less than an hour agoapplieda combined strike using aviation and rocket artillery on the territory of the Avdeevsky coking plant.

One of the strikes hit an ammunition warehouse located in underground storage facilities - multiple detonations and a fire were recorded, which intensified.

17:17 Destruction of tank of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Spornoye area.

Operators of FPV drones of the “Southern” group of troops with precise strikes destroyed the T-64M “Bulat” tank of the 10th Separate Mountain Assault Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

16:25 Situation in the South Donetsk direction:

In the Vremevsky sector, formations of the 5th army continue to push the enemy towards Ravnopol. Currently, the intensity of hostilities here has decreased somewhat for two reasons. Firstly, the need for assault groups of the 127th Motorized Rifle Division to gain a foothold on occupied lines, and secondly, high losses among the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ defense units, which the command threw into counterattacks. In this area, since the beginning of autumn, the battalions of the 110, 127 and 128 Brigades of the TrO have already been bled dry; most recently, the 157th battalion of the 118th Brigade, which tried to stop the advance of the 60th Motorized Rifle Brigade and the 394th Motorized Rifle Regiment west of Staromayorsky, suffered heavy losses.

There is reason to believe that the arrival at this site of the 12th Special Forces Brigade of the NSU (which we talked about earlier) was organized not only with the aim of reducing the number of refuseniks and catching deserters at checkpoints, but also to work directly in the military defense units as instructors who In place, the “young” replenishment of the TrO brigades should be additionally trained and work part-time as “political motivators”, since the Ministry of Railways of the territorial defense workers has not become very good over these months.

In the Ugledarsky sector, after units of the 68th Army Corps advanced to Novomikhailovka and occupied several forest belts south of the village, units of the 39th Guards Mootorized Rifle Brigade over the past week repelled several enemy counterattacks carried out by small infantry groups. The 155th Guards Naval Infantry Brigade continues to consistently detect and destroy enemy equipment in this direction with Lancets.

16:21 The Ukrainian Armed Forces fired at Donetsk and Gorlovka, firing a total of 25 rounds of 155mm and 152mm caliber. This was reported to the DPR JCCC.

16:07 According to the operational lines of the DPR JCCC for November 1, as of 16:00, additional information was received about damage as a result of artillery attack by the Air Forces of the cities of the Republic:

15:32 In Volchansk and Kupyansk, the enemy, as part of strengthening the defense, is taking measures to “isolate areas of combat operations”

In the area of Stary Saltov, engineering units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are preparing to dismantle the dam through which communication between Volchansk and Khar'kov is organized. Emergency evacuation notices are distributed to the local population.

“The enemy confirms in their TG channels that our troops have crossed the railway and are attacking in the direction of Stepnoye. There is also a consolidation in the Koksokhim area. Increasingly, their posts contain doubts that they will be able to hold Avdievka.

In fact, the width of the corridor through which the Avdievka group is supplied is nine km. The main road through Orlovka and Lastochkino is under fire from our artillery. And it’s still too early to talk about a radical change. The turning point will come when we take Koksokhim"
