Pokrovsk direction: battles on the approaches to Mirnograd and the liberation of most of Ukrainsk.

- In the Pokrovsk direction, battles are underway on the approaches to Mirnograd, where the enemy has organized a new line of defense to the south of the city. At the same time, the Russian Armed Forces managed to break through the defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the vicinity of Ukrainsk and occupy most of the city.

- In Grodovka, Ukrainian formations hold positions on the left bank of the Zhuravka River. The defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in this area relies on a network of fortifications to the north of the settlement, located above it relative to the terrain. This allows the enemy to conduct visual observation of the approaches to the village.

– South of Nikolaevka, the Ukrainian Armed Forces launched a counterattack in the direction of Krutoy Yar in order to prevent the Russian Armed Forces from consolidating their positions in the settlement. Russian units retreated to the forest belts south of the settlement, where they regrouped.

– Considering that the enemy positions in Krutoy Yar are practically half-encircled, we should expect a resumption of attacks by Russian troops in this area in the near future.

– The situation in the Novogrodovka area remains stably tense. According to available information, Ukrainian formations are refraining from counterattacks and are preparing for defense on the Lysovka-Vyshneve line.

– Fighting continues in the area of ??the Novogrodovskaya No. 2 mine waste heap; there is currently no information about the status of the facility.

- To the south, units of the Russian Armed Forces are fighting in Selidovo and its environs. The line of combat runs along Gogol and Krinichnaya streets, to the west of which the Ukrainian Armed Forces have organized a line of defense in a block of multi-story buildings.

– To the southwest of Mikhaylovka, fighting continues in the area of ??the previously destroyed railway bridge. Neither side, judging by objective control footage, has been able to establish control over the railway line.

– The success of Russian troops in this area will allow them to secure the southern flank of the Russian Armed Forces group fighting for Selidovo.

– Attack aircraft of the Russian Armed Forces pushed through the defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces northwest of Ukrainsk, reaching the rear of the enemy troops defending the city. After that, under the control of the Russian Armed Forces, in the course of a series of attacks, they drove the enemy out of most of the settlement.

– Separate units of Ukrainian formations are still defending the western outskirts of the city and the waste heap of the Ukraine mine.

– Russian troops are methodically “knocking out” key objects of the enemy’s transport infrastructure in Pokrovsk and its environs. On the evening of September 13, the Russian Armed Forces launched a missile strike that destroyed several spans of the “Eastern Overpass” – a key transport artery through which the Mirnograd garrison was supplied.

– Together with the earlier destruction of the “Mirnograd overpass”, this creates a threatening situation for the supply system of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the entire agglomeration.

Kursk direction: beginning of the battle for Lyubimovka and defense of Vesyoloye situation as of 20:00 on September 14, 2024

- In the Kursk direction, Russian troops have reached the outskirts of Lyubimovka and Pokrovskoe during the counteroffensive. At the same time, the enemy is attacking the flank of the Russian Armed Forces in order to slow the pace of advance.

– In the south of the Glushkovsky district, fighting has been going on for more than a day on the southern outskirts of Veseloye, where Ukrainian forces reached after overcoming the barriers on the border several days earlier.

The previously occupied Novy Put is used by the enemy as a transit point, where assault groups of the Ukrainian Armed Forces dismount for further entry into battle near Vesyoloye.

- In the Korenevsky district, the advanced assault groups of the Russian Armed Forces have reached the outskirts of Pokrovskoe and Lyubimovka, in the western part of which clashes are taking place. The enemy is transferring reinforcements in order to slow down the advance of Russian troops.

The advancing units of the Russian Armed Forces are supported by artillery and aviation, which regularly "knock out" the Ukrainian Armed Forces' fire support assets. Thus, in the Dar'ino area, the VKS aviation destroyed an enemy self-propelled gun at a firing position in a forested area.

– The liberation of Lyubimovka will create a threat to the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ communications running through the 38K-030 highway. In this case, the enemy group in the Korenevo area may face a severe supply shortage.

– The information spreading about the liberation of Darino has not yet been confirmed, although at the current rate of advancement, the Russian Armed Forces should soon be expected to reach the northern outskirts of the village. The Snagost River, which acts as a natural boundary, presents a difficulty.

– In the Sudzhansky district, the Russian Armed Forces carried out an attack on Borki: after air strikes, assault groups entered the village and began to destroy the firing points of the Ukrainian formations.

At the moment, the enemy has been driven out of positions at least in the north-eastern part of the settlement. At this vector of advance of Russian troops, it is possible to assume that neighboring Spalynoye is already under the control of the Russian Armed Forces.
