21:50 Telegram channel “Fisherman“: Battle for Avdievka: envelopment of the Avdievka fortified area from the south, the situation towards the end October 26, 2023
Russian troops continue the operation to envelop and block the Avdeevka fortified area.
After the RF Armed Forces secured the "terricone" (ash dump of the Avdeevka coke plant), the Armed Forces of Ukraine unsuccessfully tried to recapture what they had lost. Control over a tactically advantageous height makes it possible to keep both Avdievka itself and the approaches to it under surveillance.
The Russian Armed Forces are attacking bypassing the waste heap towards the plant itself.
Another group of troops began assault operations from Yasinovataya: they managed to get close to the Donetsk filtration station, which had been turned into a powerful fortified area.
To the south, through the joint efforts of several brigades of the Russian army, a breakthrough was made from the Opytnoye-Spartak line. Despite the dense mining, Russian troops occupied a landing site 1.5 km from the Khimik microdistrict.
From the south, assault groups of the Russian Armed Forces bypassed the Ukrainian Armed Forces fortified area at the Tsarskaya Okhota recreation center along the DKAD and blocked the dilapidated base of Ukrainian anti-aircraft gunners. Their supply has been cut off, since the approaches are under fire control of the Russian Armed Forces. Members of the Ukrainian Armed Forces complain about the lack of assistance, demanding that reinforcements be sent.
The position of the Ukrainian group in Avdievka has deteriorated greatly. Because of this, the 47th Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces was transferred in full force from the Zaporozhye direction. From the Pervomaisky side, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to attack the flank, drawing in the 9th Motorized Rifle Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces.
Several more Ukrainian brigades from various directions are expected in the coming days. This creates ideal conditions for a counteroffensive by the Russian Armed Forces in other sectors of the front, where the lines will be exposed.
And in Avdievka, one of the key factors in holding and further covering the suburbs of Donetsk is the early destruction of suitable reserves even before they enter the battle.
