09:51 Overview Summary on the morning of February 4, 2023
After a week of defense, the 144th Motorized Rifle Division launched a counteroffensive and advanced in the direction of Yampolovka. Report about the capture of Belogorovka. An offensive on this sector of the front means the presence of a plan to encircle Seversk from this direction, to which there are 10-15 km left.
PMC "Wagner" is moving from the south to Seversk, having liberated several more settlements. Seversk in terms of population before the war was comparable to Soledar (about 10 thousand people).
South of Soledar in the village Krasnaya Gora, the enemy suffers heavy losses, throws border guards and territorial defense into battle. The settlement is held in a ledge in our offensive zone.
Artemovsk (Bakhmut, up to 70,000 people before the war) is constantly replenished with new enemy forces, while roads under the fire control of our troops and reinforcement columns are periodically destroyed. To the south of the city, the zone of control is expanding, a few kilometers are left to the road to Chasov Yar.
Heavy fighting in Avdievka and Marinka. It was not possible to achieve success in the Ugledar sector, the enemy transferred reserves. The bypass of the city from the east side failed.
Common to all sectors of the front in the actions of our troops is the attempt to encircle enemy fortified areas.
In the Zaporozhye direction, the parties are engaged in positional battles, there is no advance of the Russian Armed Forces.
The front-line regions of Russia are under constant attack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The Belgorod region most often appears in reports, but strikes are regularly made against both the Kursk and Bryansk regions. The civilian population of the LPR and DPR is even more often exposed to enemy fire.
The enemy is experiencing problems with personnel along the entire length of the front, but the mass mobilization of the population and the operational transfer of reserves does not allow our troops to carry out deep breakthroughs of the front. In addition, one should not forget about the mass preparation of large reserves by Kyiv.
The sabotage activity of the enemy on the territory of Russia remains high: yesterday, an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Zaporozhye region was killed in a car explosion in Energodar.
09:08 Maryinka. The attack continues. Russian artillery worksvideo
Artillerymen of the 5th Brigade of the 1st Army Corps of the RF Armed Forces work together with air and ground reconnaissance - such a combination allows you to achieve high results and work out as efficiently as possible on set targets.
The experience gained in the course of combat operations allows artillery crews to hit targets with minimal ammunition consumption.
Strikes from the 152mm gun "Gyacinth-B" are delivered on accumulations of manpower and equipment, command posts and firing positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
08:13 At the positions of the enemy rochet artillery system Tornado : the combat work of the crews of multiple launch rocket systems of the Western Military District in the special operation zone -video
According to intelligence, units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have concentrated military equipment, weapons and ammunition to supply their forces. The data of the scouts were confirmed by technical means of reconnaissance, after which the units of the MLRS "Tornado-S" struck at the military facilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The calculations do not doubt the accuracy of their complexes. All set targets are guaranteed to be destroyed, and intelligence reports the exceptional precision of the missilemen's work.
The calculation performs combat missions from the very beginning of the SVO. Artillerymen, in their own words, have long become one fighting family, where everyone is cheerful and focused on Victory.
