Over the past 24 hours Representative officereportedabout 24 facts of firing by the Ukrainian Federal Unitary Forces.

Information was received about the injury of two civilians in the Nikitovsky district of Gorlovka and Mariupol.

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

Areas of five settlements of the Republic were under enemy fire: Gorlovka (Nikitovsky district), Golmovsky, Yasinovataya, Yasinovatsky district, the capital city of Donetsk (Kuibyshevsky, Kievsky, Kirovsky, Petrovsky districts).

In the Donetsk direction, the enemy carried out 14 attacks from 155mm artillery.

At Gorlovka there were seven artillery attacks from 152mm artillery and attack UAVs.

22:00 Telegram channel “Two majors“: strategic offensive operation of the Russian Army

Such a loud headline was made based on the number of forces and means involved, as well as nearby targets being viewed.

Avdeevskoe direction (number 3 on the map) became the loudest. Trains of ammunition and aerial bombs literally fell on the enemy's most complex fortified area. The offensive of the assault detachments of the Russian Army is on the waste heaps (an artificial hill made of depleted and waste rocks) near Avdievka itself, from the south near Opytny, we are trying to cover Berdychi from the north with a claw.

In this area, the road to Avdievka was already behind us during the day; the supply route to the Ukrainian Armed Forces was cut off. Storm Z units and units that were previously part of the DPR army corps are showing themselves bravely.

To the south, on Mar'inka (4), the Russian Armed Forces transferred attack aircraft to the north, to the Krasnogorovka area. South of Mar'inka, two heights near Novomikhailovka have recently been occupied, the capture of which will help open the way to Ugledar from the northeast.

South of Svatovo (2) near Makeyevka (LPR), the new (formed in 2023) 25th Combined Arms Army of the Central Military District was introduced into battle. There is a successful advance of our troops, the enemy’s fortified areas are being captured in a pincer movement.

In the Kupyansk direction (1) there are battles near Sin'kovka, enemy strongholds are taken, targeted attacks are carried out in the rear after a couple of days of dense strikes, previously it was reported that a number of enemy crossings across the river were destroyed.

In the Orekhovsky sector (5) of the Zaporozhye Front, our paratroopers and motorized rifles, after heavy defensive battles, also carried out a number of counter-offensive actions, recapturing positions from the Nazis.

Our actions at Pyatikhatki (6) came as a surprise to the enemy. Without massive artillery support, the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in this settlement were successfully attacked.

Thus, the main long-term goal within up to two weeks will be the liquidation of the Avdeevsky fortified area of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Reserves have not been brought into battle in many sectors of the front; the offensive potential is great. Auxiliary strikes are carried out along the entire front line, pinning down the enemy’s forces and not giving him the opportunity to maneuver.

21:25 Telegram channel “NGP intelligence” writes, that today our soldiers in the Avdeevsky direction have done colossal work.

This applies primarily to the assault infantry, which occupied a number of extremely fortified enemy positions, showing in some cases such insolence that the enemy and the laws of military statistics could not even imagine.

The Gods of War carried out very significant work today; we personally have not seen such artillery barrage since the beginning of the Northern Military District, since the storming of Volnovakha.

Separately, I would like to note the pilots; bombers and rotorcraft provided invaluable support to the advancing infantry.

20:45 After a short smoke break, the artillery of the Russian Armed Forcescontinuesto create a nightmare for the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Avdeevsky direction.

20:20 It was also hot in Kleshcheevki today. RF Armed Forces we worked according to the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

19:30 RF Ministry of Defense: Today at about 17.10 Moscow time, an attempt by the Kyiv regime to carry out a terrorist attack by an aircraft-type UAV on objects on the territory of the Russian Federation was stopped.

Duty air defense systems intercepted a Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicle over the territory of the Bryansk region.

19:00 Russian UAV operators drop ammunition on groups of enemy infantry, destroying and putting them to flight -video.

18:30 Avdeevskoe direction: 114 Separate Mechanized Brigade entrenched at the dominant height of the waste heap near the Avdievka plant, cleanup is underway.

18:00 Telegram channel “Fisherman“:

In addition to intensifying efforts at the front, the enemy continues to strike the border areas in the Belgorod region.

The enemy shelled the village of Popovka in the Krasnoyaruzh region twice. One of the rounds hit a private house, the man died on the spot, and his wife died in the ambulance from severe shrapnel wounds.

The rounds damaged four residential buildings, power lines and a gas pipe, emergency services are working at the scene of the incident, and damage assessment continues.

Local residents reported arrivals on the outskirts of the village of Demidovka, Krasnoyaruzhsky district; there was no information about casualties or damage.

17:20 Telegram channel “Fisherman“: Svatovsky sector: advance of the Russian Armed Forces to Makeevka and battles near Nevsky, the situation as of 16.00 October 10, 2023

Russian troops launched a counterattack not only in the Orekhovsky and Donetsk directions: for several days now there has been an assault on enemy strongholds in the Makeevka direction.

As a result of fierce fighting, Russian units managed to advance on a broad front from Novovodyany and Ploshchanka, almost reaching the eastern outskirts of Makeyevka.

Also, fighters of the Russian Army approached Nevsky, where reinforcements from the 88th battalion of the 106th Territorial Defense Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were transferred to strengthen the defense.

The attack is difficult due to the large number of minefields at the Makeevka - Nevskoye line. In addition, the Ukrainian command continues to transfer reserves for defense in the area.

The day before, 200 people from the 44th Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces arrived in Peski-Radkovskie. They were trained and coordinated in Nizhyn. Also, formations of the 44th Mechanized Brigade were also noted in Borovaya, so the enemy still has reserves.

16:55 The Russian Armed Forces are working and are coming confident.

16:25 In the Krasnogorovka area (DPR. North of Avdievka) advance of troops of the Russian Armed Forces, occupied a forest plantation to the west of the settlement.

15:55 Soldiers of the 177th infantry fighting unit gouged from a 57mm S-60 automatic cannon in the Polozhsky direction

15:30 Telegram channel “Fisherman“: Orekhovsky area: activation of the RF Armed Forces near Zherebyanki, situation as of 15.00 October 10, 2023

Due to the lack of success at Orekhovo and the onset of the autumn thaw, the Ukrainian command concentrated on expanding the wedge zone between Rabotino and Verbov.

To strengthen the group, units of the Ukrainian 127th Territorial Defense Brigade were transferred from the Sumy region. Previously, TRO personnel will replenish the regular brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Also, after a little preparation at the Novodanilovka-Malaya Tokmachka line, the armored group of the 46th Tank Brigade, consisting of a reconnaissance platoon, two infantry fighting vehicles and one tank, tried to strike Novoprokopovka. But one infantry fighting vehicle was hit by artillery fire, and the other was unable to drive through the mud, causing the attack to stall.

But today the main attention is focused on the Kamensky sector, where Russian troops, simultaneously with the activation of the Russian Armed Forces near Avdievka, launched an attack from Zherebyanki. The soldiers of the Russian Army managed to occupy important landings to the north.

The offensive continues. Such activity of the Russian Armed Forces in several sectors of the front is important for achieving success. Simultaneous strikes constrain the enemy's capabilities, depriving him of the ability to maneuver.

15:05 Telegram channel “Rybar”: quite rare footage: Mi-28NM attack helicopters operating near Avdievka provide fire support to advancing Russian units and fire with guided anti-tank missiles practically from hover mode -video.

14:35 Upon arrival information, troops of the Russian Armed Forces entered and fortified one of the areas.

In Avdievka itself there is a large concentration of Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel to evacuate the wounded from the combat zone.

13:20 On the Zaporozhye front also Now The work of assault groups of the Russian Armed Forces is underway. There are advances.

12:55 Telegram channel “Fisherman “Battle for Avdievka: the coming encirclement of the Ukrainian garrison

Situation as of 12.00 October 10, 2023

Early in the morning, Russian troops began massive fire preparations against the Ukrainian fortified area in Avdievka. The number of rounds fired in one day was truly unique. Both artillery and FAB-1500 with UMPC were used.

Immediately after the artillery barrage, Russian assault troops launched an attack from the south from Spartak. According to preliminary information, the Russian Armed Forces occupied a section of the E50 road south of the fortified area.

The Archangel of Special Forces also reports that Russian paratroopers carried out an attack from Krasnogorovka in the direction of the railway. As a result, the Russian Armed Forces rushed through to Berdychi - fighting is taking place on the outskirts of it.

So far, the configuration of the front in the area remains foggy. It is possible that the soldiers of the Russian army broke through the defenses near the railway line and, skirting Petrovskoye, reached Berdychi. The Armed Forces of Ukraine have problems with communication between units.

Given the lack of clear coordination between Ukrainian formations, the attack was a surprise for them. However, reinforcements may be transferred in the near future to stabilize the front, so it is important to consolidate the success achieved.

After Berdychi, the most logical thing for Russian troops would be to dislodge the Ukrainian Armed Forces from the hills adjacent to the north-west. From them there is a view of the Orlovka - Lastochkino line, which, with simultaneous movement from the south (Opytnoe - Vodyanoe), will create big problems for the enemy at Avdievka.

12:25 Regarding Avdievka - don’t run faster than a steam locomotive. Ongoing massive artillery artillery attack of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Attack helicopters of the Russian Armed Forces worked.

11:55 Northeast of the village of Vodyanoye DPR RF Armed Forces attack positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

11:30 Avdeevskoe direction:

Storm Z assault units went on the attack. In certain sectors of the front there is an advance of the Russian Armed Forces: two of the three Ukrainian Armed Forces lines are occupied in the unit’s offensive sector. The enemy took helicopters into the air.

Our cannon and rocket artillery has not stopped talking since morning. Comrades familiar with the situation report that the Avdeevsky fortified area is characterized by powerful fortifications of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which cannot always be destroyed by aviation and artillery. This means there will be shooting battles at extremely short distances.

10:55 In Andreevka, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to gain a foothold behind a piece of iron in a forest plantation; AGS and mortars of the Russian Armed Forces are working on them.

Aviation and artillery with about 200 guns are in operation. Russian Army presses from the flanks. Advancement in these minutes up to 200m.

BC's interceptions are over.

The enemy is retreating...

On the Zaporozhye front, the enemy concentrated fire on our positions northwest of the village of Verbovoe, cluster munitions and a large number of kamikaze drones are used. The main losses of our forces are associated precisely with enemy artillery fire.

Nevertheless, the Russian Armed Forces managed to carry out counteroffensive actions and knock the enemy out of their strongholds. There has been an increase in the use of Krasnopol precision-guided ammunition by the Russian Army. The autumn thaw has begun: enemy infantry is moving on pickup trucks, and Western-made armored vehicles have begun to be seen less frequently.

Dozens of our artillery units and MLRS have been working in the Avdeevsky direction since the morning. It is possible that this could be artillery preparation for offensive actions.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces also tried to move towards the village itself after the shelling. No success. Ukrainian positions in Lobkovo, Pyatikhatki, Stepnoe (not to be confused with the settlements of the same name in the Ugledar and Donetsk directions), Orekhovo, Novodanilovka, Malaya Tokmachka and Gulyaypole are under fire.
