The enemy continues to put pressure on the northern flank of the Oskol Front. The enemy declares the capture of the village of Kupyansk-Uzlovoi. It means, that enemy forces crossed the river and created a bridgehead south of Kupyansk, which plays a role in the northern sector of the front, similar to Krasny Liman in the south.
Enemy, unsuccessfully trying to take the Red Liman from the south and from the west, trying to implement a wide flank bypass. Ukrainian militants posted footage, on which they pass Redkodub and Korovy Yar. These settlements are located behind the Oskol reservoir to the north of Kr. Estuary, one of the supply routes passes behind them, however, the main deliveries are carried out along a different route, coming from the LPR from the east. However, fighting north of Kr. Estuary continue.
Despite constant attacks and artillery shelling, Cr. Liman is held by Russian troops. The city is covered by camouflaged positions, located on which the fighters do not allow the enemy to enter the settlement. Reconnaissance and individual detachments of the enemy, moving through the forest, trying to find weak spots in the defense, however, the fighters who have settled in ambushes and shelters adequately meet enemy forces.
I don't let the enemy into the city- Russian soldiers say.
On the Andreevsky section of the Kherson direction, significant enemy forces, losing momentum, held positions in the "triangle" Kostromka – Seideminukha – Belogorka, which wedged into the Russian right-bank front. At night, bombers of the Russian Aerospace Forces carried out a massive air raid, the enemy suffered heavy losses (military correspondents report from above 500 dead and wounded), and the remaining forces left the "triangle".
In the southern part of Donbass, the enemy continues to try to break through the defenses of Russian troops in separate areas, however, after suffering losses, he is forced to return to his original positions. So, in the area of the village of Nesteryanka, one of the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was defeated, the enemy left behind "two hundredths" and Dutch armored vehicles, Russian soldiers took prisoners.
Russian Armed Forces continue to inflict effective strikes on the rear of the enemy, including using kamikaze drones "Geran-2". So, drones attacked an artillery unit of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Ochakovo, destroying howitzers "Hyacinth-B", D-20 and Italian FH70 guns of the same type, along with ammunition stocks.
Partial mobilization almost completed, fighters who have replenished the Russian army arrive at the units, many have already started practical training at the training grounds, improving the skills of owning weapons and equipment in accordance with the military specialty. The military department allowed to take their own drones with them, however, they can only be used at the direction of the commander.
Some fighters possess the necessary skills to a sufficient extent and consider, that do not need long retraining (eg, recently retired or returned from the NWO zone, where they fought as volunteers). After confirming their qualifications, they may soon leave for the front..
The referendum on the territory of Donbass and the liberated territories is completed. According to preliminary results, in every region, supporters of reunification with Russia scored at least 96%. Such a high figure is due to two reasons - the prevalence of pro-Russian sentiments and the repressive policy of the Kyiv regime: as previously stated by the authorities of the independent, participation in a referendum is tantamount to treason, therefore, pro-Ukrainian residents practically ignored the plebiscite.
