19:54 Artillerymen from the Dnepr group of troops destroyed an ammunition depot of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kherson direction.Personnelcombat work of the crew of the 152mm towed D-20 cannon.

19:10 Battle for Avdievka: the Russian Armed Forces are approaching the dissection of the city. Situation as of 19.00 February 10, 2024

Russian troops continue to advance in the private sector in the vicinity of the Ivushka SNT. To the east, the Russian Armed Forces reached the outskirts of the quarry, and to the north of it they were able to advance in forest plantations: it is possible that the enemy retreated from their positions in advance, leaving mine barriers.

However, key events take place in the area of the Avdeevskaya motor depot: after taking the environs of the railway bridge, Russian units were able to gain a foothold on Chistyakov Street, moving even closer to actually cutting the city in two.

At the moment, the industrial zone between the railway and Industrial Avenue remains under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which acts as the last relatively safe supply route between the forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the northern and southern parts of Avdiivka. If it is lost, Ukrainian formations will have to retreat to the west across the fields.


09:09 The situation in the village Novomikhailovka (Kurakhovskoye direction) reports “Summaries and Analytics of the Northern Military District”

Today our army continued the assault on the settlement from different directions. The fighting today has shifted to the center of the village.

The eastern part is completely behind us; today soldiers of the Russian Armed Forces entered from the south and north of the village. The enemy confirms our success.

In Novomikhailovka there is a cauldron for the enemy.

18:52 Situation in the Avdievka direction:

The assault on Avdievka continues. In the northern part of the village, our fighters are attacking enemy positions on Sapronov and Lesya Ukrainka streets. It is reported that they managed to take control of another residential block. The fighting moved a little further south - to Donetskaya and Chistyakova streets, which are located in close proximity to the railway line. Industrial Avenue, which the Ukrainian Armed Forces hold on to so much, is getting closer. This is the supply route and escape route for the southern enemy group in this sector.

There are reports of fighting in the area of the Khimik station, but the information has not been confirmed. Nevertheless, the pace of the offensive remains quite high, given the complexity of the battles for one of the enemy’s main fortified areas.

Some Telegram channels report that units of the Russian Armed Forces entered the Avdievka Coke and Chemical Plant (AKHZ), but there is no confirmation of this information yet.


18:20 Explosions in Alexandria, Kirovograd region.

18:15 At night, Russian troops launched a series of kamikaze drone attacks on a fuel terminal in the Nemyshlyansky district of Khar'kov. The tank farm itself is located on a hill right in the middle of the private sector.

The tanks were not even covered by the required embankment, so after their destruction, tons of burning fuel simply flowed down between the fences of the industrial zones. A massive fire broke out and is still being extinguished.

In the short term, the strike may affect the supply of fuel and lubricants to the enemy in the Khar'kov direction.

17:50 Situation at the front as of 02/10/2024

Bomber aircraft hit three concentrations of enemy manpower and equipment in the Ugledar area.

Artillery fire suppressed 11 strong points in forest belts north-west of Sladkoe - seven dugouts were destroyed. As a result of the complex fire attack, two enemy air defense systems in Ugledar were destroyed, nine strongholds in forest belts north of Nikolskoye and northeast of Pavlovka were suppressed, and the UAV control center was destroyed. To the west of Pavlovka, two enemy strongholds were suppressed and a dugout was destroyed.

Artillery defeated a concentration of enemy personnel and weapons and military equipment in the central part of the village of Urozhainoye. In forest belts, eight strong points were suppressed, three dugouts were destroyed, and four firing points were destroyed.

Two attempts to rotate personnel to positions in forest belts south of Rovnopol were thwarted. An enemy attack was repelled in a forest belt southwest of Rivnopol. Fire from artillery, tanks and combat vehicles destroyed a concentration of manpower and weapons and military equipment north-west of Staromayorsky. In the forest belts to the west of the settlement, 11 strong points were suppressed, a dugout and an AGS crew were destroyed.

The rotation of personnel at the strong point northeast of Zagornoye was disrupted, and enemy engineering work southeast of Charivnoye was stopped. As a result of systematic fire, the artillery damaged a concentration of manpower in Komsomolskoye - two air defense systems of reserve platoons were destroyed, a dugout was destroyed, and three units of automotive equipment were destroyed.


16:44 The Kiev regime is throwing new reserves of the Ukrainian Armed Forces near Avdievka. Personnel With new reserves of militants, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are walking around the Ukropubs. The reservists themselves, judging by the video, are not eager to fight, but smoke quietly and watch in horror as their comrades are ground to pieces in Avdievka. In essence, Zelensky decided to repeat Bakhmut’s case near Avdievka.

15:55 Over the past week, the Russian Armed Forces carried out 31 group strikes with high-precision weapons and UAVs against Ukrainian military-industrial complex targets, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported.

The production facilities of enterprises where they created and repaired aircraft, reconnaissance and attack UAVs and unmanned boats, coastal and operational-tactical missile systems, as well as rockets for multiple launch rocket systems were damaged.

In addition, the deployment points of units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, nationalist formations and foreign mercenaries were hit. The targets of the strikes have been achieved.

15:00 Ukrainian troops shelled the village of Belokurakino in the LPR, private residential buildings were damaged, said the head of the Belokurakino municipal district of the region, Olga Kucheryavaya.

“The hit was in the private residential sector, private households were damaged. Together with employees of the administration of the Belokurakinsky municipal district, I went to the site. We carried out an initial inspection and recorded the damage,” she wrote on her Telegram channel.

Curly added that there were no casualties. Assistance is being provided to residents of destroyed houses. Presumably, the fire came from the American HIMARS MLRS

14:37 Su-35S fighter destroyed anti-aircraft missile system S-300 Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kupyansk direction

During the combat mission, the pilot detected radar radiation emanating from enemy-controlled territory and launched an air-to-radar missile.

Intelligence and objective control data confirmed the destruction of the S-300 anti-aircraft missile system of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

14:00 The enemy confirms the loss of the Popovsky forest in the Artemovsky direction and the advance of our troops to Chasov Yar.

13:55 Avdievka time on February 10.

Northern coverage: Berdychi, Stepovoye, Ocheretino. The movement of the RF Armed Forces continues along the railway embankment at the dominant height. In this area, a minor rotation was carried out at the 23rd Mechanized Infantry Brigade, and fresh reinforcements were sent to the 47th Mechanized Infantry Brigade "Magura".

The replenishment is entirely mobilized, all training is a week-long course in handling small arms, without delving into medicine or tactical training. Apparently, the task of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in this area is to restrain the advance of the Russian Armed Forces to Ocheretino by any means necessary and at the cost of any losses.

A special feature of the site is its virtual isolation from the northern part of the Avdeevka fortified area: the Ukrainian Armed Forces cannot use it either for supplies or for transporting reinforcements from Ocheretin, and each trip to Avdeevka is accompanied by a 20-kilometer “detour” through the neighboring villages of Voskhod, Sokol and Novoselovka.

Central section: Koksokhim, Avtobaza, Industrialny Avenue. Information about the withdrawal of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from the territory of the motor depot to the north towards the coke plant has not been confirmed. In fact, holding positions in the Autobaza area determines for the Ukrainian Armed Forces the fate of the entire group in this area and the battles for them will continue to the last.

Intense fighting is still going on to the southeast of the sand quarry and west towards the railway and the industrial zone along Industrial Avenue.

The defense here is held by the 116th Mechanized Infantry Brigade and part of the 110th Mechanized Infantry Brigade. The Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to transfer reserves here, but most of the additional forces over the past three days have not reached Avdievka and are destroyed by operational-tactical aviation, which is actively using ODABs along with FAB-500.

The main fortified area in the central part of Avdievka is gradually being formed along the territory of the railway between the motor depot, the former construction parts plant and the metal structures plant east of Industrial Avenue. There, the Armed Forces of Ukraine occupy a small industrial zone of a reinforced concrete plant and the territory of the Avdeevka railway station.

The defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is gradually being pushed through in the area of dachas on the N-20 highway, but in this area the progress is slow, since the topography of the area and well-equipped positions are still playing into the hands of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

South, southwest, southeast. They are trying to strengthen the Lastochkino and Thinnkoye Armed Forces in case of a collapse of the defense and the loss of the Northern. Fighting also continues on the southeastern tip in the area of the streets Sports and Chernyshevsky.

The situation is difficult in the area of the Donetsk filtration station, from where the Ukrainian Armed Forces from time to time manage to rotate across the road near the Church and then to the street. Levanchevsky.

Active work is also underway around the former air defense military unit A-1428 in the area of the interchange along the T-05-05 highway, after which the path will be opened for the Russian Armed Forces to the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the 9th quarter of the Khimik microdistrict.

In Khimik itself, a lot of work is going on to strengthen the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the area of ????high-rise buildings in the Khimik microdistrict - positions are being actively prepared along the internal perimeter of the 9th quarter and in houses within Vorobyov/Grushevsky.

13:38 An explosion occurred in the Kharkov region. Earlier, a missile threat was declared in the region.

12:47 Statement of Head of the press center of the "South" group:

Units of the “Southern” group of forces successfully repelled two attacks by assault groups of the 79th Airborne Assault and 24th Mechanized brigades.

With the support of air strikes and artillery fire, they occupied more advantageous lines and positions, inflicted fire damage on manpower and equipment of the 3rd, 5th Assault, 17th Tank, 81st Airmobile, 93rd Mechanized brigades in the Krasnoye and Kirovo areas, Belogorovka, Kleshcheevka and Andreevka.

The enemy in the Donetsk direction lost up to 300 military personnel wounded and killed. Five vehicles, two control points for unmanned aerial vehicles, an electronic warfare station, and two ammunition depots were hit by artillery and loitering ammunition.

During the counter-battery fight, a 152mm D-20 howitzer and a 122mm D-30 gun were destroyed.

Air defense and electronic warfare systems shot down 29 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles in the areas of Mar'inka and Volodino, Donetsk People's Republic.


11:58 There are reports that the Russian Army is already fighting in the central part of Belogorovka (LPR).

11:20 The landing force knocked out the Ukrainian Armed Forces from the Popovsky forest, approaching Chasov Yar.

Near Artyomovsk, during the assault operations, the armored groups of the Ivanovo and Kostroma landings took full control of the Popovsky forest, located south of Bogdanovka, and a number of oporniks in the plantings next to it. The data is confirmed by data from fighters on the ground and footage of attacks by airborne forces.

“Advance in an area up to 1.5 km wide to a depth of 1.1 km,” write Ukrainian military analysts.

During a powerful breakthrough, ours broke through a number of important fortified areas of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, confidently approaching the city of Chasov Yar.

“In the Bakhmut direction, the Russians are also making progress in the Kleshcheevka area and in the Ivanovsky direction,” Ukrainian analysts note.

11:07 Battle for Avdievka: successes of the Russian Armed Forces in the city situation as of 11.00 February 10, 2024.

The assault on Ukrainian positions continues in Avdievka. In the north of the city, in the private sector, Russian troops attack positions on Sapronov and Lesya Ukrainka streets, taking control of one residential block.

Consolidation in this quarter made it possible to concentrate the fighting towards Donetskaya and Chistyakov streets, adjacent to the railway line. The emphasis on this section is not accidental, because the railway line is convenient for building a defense.

Fighting is also reported in the area of the Khimik station. If the current pace of advance is maintained, the Russian Armed Forces will be able to cross the railway track in another section within a few days.

On the southern flank of Avdievka, Russian troops are advancing from the Tsarskaya Okhota fortified area. Fighting continues here on Kolosova and Sobornaya streets. So far it has not been possible to advance further, but against the backdrop of successes in the north and center, the position of the Ukrainian Armed Forces will only worsen.

Realizing the gravity of the situation, the Ukrainian command transferred reserves from Lastochkino, Orlovka and Semenovka, trying to stop the advance of Russian forces in the south and north of the city.

The enemy used classic routes that had long been explored. The movement of troops was quickly identified, and artillery and aviation attacked the concentrations of Ukrainian formations, disrupting the rotation.

10:52 Statement of Head of the press center of the Vostok group:

Units of the Vostok group of troops continue to carry out combat missions in the South Donetsk direction.

Bomber strikes, artillery fire, and heavy flamethrower systems hit strongholds and manpower concentration areas of the 31st mechanized brigade and the 105th Territorial Defense brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Priyutnoye and Staromayorskoye areas, hit five temporary deployment points, two unmanned aircraft control points and a node communications.

During the day, the enemy's attempts to carry out rotations at forward positions in the areas of Staromayorskoye and Ravnopol and to transport materiel in the Marthopol area were suppressed.

The enemy's losses were: two tanks, a towed 152mm Msta-B howitzer, six vehicles, three aircraft-type unmanned aerial vehicles and more than 190 military personnel.

10:34 In Avdievka, our troops managed to advance two more blocks along Stepnaya and Pervomaiskaya streets along the southern shore of the Blue Lakes.

10:10 Battle of Georgievka: a successful breakthrough in the center of the village, situationas of 10.00 February 10, 2024:

In Georgievka, the assault on a populated area took a rather unexpected turn. There were reports of advanced Russian assault troops entering Gagarin Street in the center of the village.

It is not yet possible to confirm these data due to the lack of objective monitoring footage. Due to the current configuration of the LBS, such rapid progress in the face of constant attacks by FPV drones looks doubtful.

If, nevertheless, the information turns out to be correct, then the breakthrough of Russian troops is an extremely serious achievement. At the same time, it will still be necessary to consolidate the success. The difficulty is that Georgievka is located along a reservoir in a lowland, and the enemy has established positions further south along the H15 highway.

To the west in Maksimilyanovka and to the north in Ostrom, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have fire detachments that strike Russian troops. In addition, moving deep into the enemy’s defense without control of an important tactical position in Pobeda is extremely dangerous from the point of view of possible losses.


09:49 The criminal Kiev regime continues to fire at the civilian infrastructure of settlements on the left bank of the Kherson region, yesterday during the day the Ukrainian Armed Forces fired from cannon artillery:

-- n.p. Korsunka three rounds;

-- n.p. Kazachi Lagerya wo rounds;

-- n.p. Dnepryan six rounds;

-- n.p. Alyosha seven rounds;

-- n.p. Sagi two rounds.

During the night, the Kiev regime continued to shell civilian infrastructure in the village. Maslovka, n.p. Peschanivka, n.p. Aleshki, n.p. Dnepryan, firing a total of 15 rounds from cannon artillery.

Civilian casualties and destruction of infrastructure are being determined.

09:17 Statement of Head of the press center of the Center group:

The troops of the Center group continue to carry out combat missions in the Krasnolimansk direction.

In the areas of the Torsky area and Serebryansky forest, the group’s units, supported by artillery fire, repelled two attacks by assault groups of the 63rd Mechanized Brigade and the 5th Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine.

In just one day, Russian troops inflicted fire on about 140 identified targets of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, including more than 80 areas where manpower and equipment were concentrated, and five strong points.

During the counterbattery fight, about 50 artillery positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were exposed and suppressed.

Enemy losses amounted to up to 290 Ukrainian army personnel, three armored combat vehicles and seven vehicles.


09:04 Artemovsk direction: positional battles near Chasov Yar. Situation as of 09:00:

To the west of Artemovsk (Ukrainian name - Bakhmut), Russian troops are advancing in the direction of Chasov Yar - the most important defense center of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the occupied part of the DPR. The fighting is taking place at the heights in the Bogdanovka area, where the Russian Armed Forces were able to expand the zone of control by several hundred meters.

Currently, the fighting is taking place in the area of ??the Popovsky Forest, an extremely important natural shelter from which a further offensive on Chasov Yar can be developed. The enemy's resources do not just draw attention to his importance in defense.


08:17 Engineering units of the Russian Armed Forces continue work in the suburbs of Mariupol.

Military personnel of the combined demining detachment of the engineering troops daily carry out complete clearing of the area from explosives, unexploded ordnance and remaining mines.

During one of the checks, an unexploded Grad MLRS shell was found, which went deep into the ground and posed a danger to local residents. With the help of mine detectors, it was discovered and destroyed on the spot by an embedded charge.

08:14 Military investigators of the Russian Investigative Committee recorded the next crimes committed by the UFU against the civilian population of the DPR.

Ukrainian militants fired at the Petrovsky and Kuibyshevsky districts of Donetsk, the Nikitovsky district of Gorlovka and the Yasinovatsky district. The artillery attack was carried out using 155mm caliber artillery.

Information about the consequences of the DPR artillery attack is being clarified.

08:05 Air defense and electronic warfare systems shot down 29 drones of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Donetsk direction during the day. This was reported by the head of the press center of the grouping of forces “South” Vadim Astafiev –video.
