The number of FAB-250/500 “arrivals” with UMPC has almost doubled. If in the first days of the offensive 15-20 aerial bombs fell on the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kanal microdistrict, now 30-35 “arrivals” are recorded - and the density of attacks is increasing.

The industrial zone in the area of the refractory plant has been dismantled with aerial bombs since the first day, but from about April 6, in addition to FAB-500/1500, volumetric detonating bombs began to “arrive” at such facilities, destroying dense reinforced concrete floors.

At the eastern outskirts of the Kanal microdistrict (the actual entry point of the Russian Armed Forces into Chasov Yar), tension has reached its limit.

The main battles shifted to the territory of vocational school No. 77 and the stadium (it is clearly visible in the video from the UAV), where the supporter of the Armed Forces of Ukraine “Tekhnikum” is located (more precisely, what is left of it).

In the Rabotino-Verbovoye sector, counter-battery fighting continued at night. Reconnaissance UAVs were actively working, correcting cannon artillery and MLRS fire. The enemy again used prohibited phosphorus ammunition, including for drops from UAVs.

There were battles in the Rabotino area at night. The enemy tried to conduct reconnaissance in force, using small assault groups, but was repulsed.

North-west of Verbovoy, our troops advanced slightly. The enemy, trying to seize the initiative, counterattacked. Fighting continues.

08:00 Summary on the morning of April 9, 2024:

At night, the Russian Armed Forces used the Geranium UAV and missile weapons against enemy targets, while the enemy notes the launch of drones at intervals, which may indicate a change in the tactics of their use. Probably - to open air defense position areas.Explosions occurred in Poltava, Kamensky, Dnepropetrovsk region, the city of Stryi, Lviv region, Odessa, and Khmelnytsky regions. In the afternoon, Iskander OTRK missiles hit the assembly shop of Ukrainian UAVs in Zaporozhye. Frequent strikes by the FAB and UMPC continued in the Kharkov and Sumy regions.

In the Kherson direction, the regional governor yesterday published a video from Russian Armed Forces training on pontoon crossings. Three civilians were wounded from Ukrainian Armed Forces fire in Aleshki and Kakhovka. There are battles in Krynki, many enemy drones are causing damage to our armored vehicles, which continue to be sent to solve problems closer to the banks of the Dnieper.

On the Zaporozhye front, the enemy is targeting the power units of the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant in Energodar with drones. The attack was repelled; one of the UAVs fell on the roof of the 6th power unit. The plant's management emphasizes that not a single nuclear power plant in the world was designed to contain the fire impact of army weapons. Heavy fighting continues in Rabotino and north-west of Verbovoy.

In the South Donetsk direction, our troops are pushing back the enemy in Novomikhailovka; on the outskirts of Krasnogorovka, units of the Russian Armed Forces are trying to restore the initiative.

On a broad front, the Russian Armed Forces have the initiative in local battles west of Avdeevka. The combat areas are still the same: Berdychi, Semenovka, Umanskoye, Pervomaiskoye. UAVs of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, namely FPV drones, cause serious damage to the Russian Armed Forces in armored vehicles. Our troops are constantly looking for means of protection against enemy drones, but the issue has not been resolved on a systematic basis.

Chasov Yar continues to be in the spotlight. In heavy fighting on the outskirts of the city, the Russian Armed Forces gained a foothold and repelled counterattacks of the enemy, who was transferring reinforcements. FABs with UMPC, MLRS, and TOS operate throughout the city. They report the withdrawal of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from Bogdanovka and a serious difficulty in enemy logistics at Kleshcheevka.

To the south of Kremennaya, near Belogorovka, battles were reported for the heights (the dump of a chalk quarry); our troops managed to occupy some strong points.

In the direction of Terny, despite the severity of the fighting and the loss of armored vehicles, the Russian Armed Forces are fighting local battles without significant breakthroughs in the enemy’s defenses.
