In Donetsk front heavy battles continue in the Avdiivka sector. Russians put pressure north of Avdiivka. During the last 48 hours Russian forces  continued to put pressure on the northern part of the frontline in the areas between Stepove  and the waste hill and according to Ukrainian and Russian sources, Russian troops were able to gain  a foothold near the railway in this direction.

According to some Ukrainian sources, Russian  forces were also able to entrench in the Terrikon hill and are now trying to attack  Avdiivka’s Chemical Plant using waves of infantry forces to push from the waste  hill towards the Ukrainian positions.

However, despite their attempts, so far  the Russian forces have not been able to advance past the railway and Ukrainians maintain their positions near Stepove Reinforcements arrive and counter on the flank and in the northern outskirts of Avdiivka. The Ukrainian Army is launching counterattacks on the Russian flank, as sources on both sides reported that the Ukrainian Command decided to  transfer new reinforcements on the northern part  of the front. Based on recent footage where the  Ukrainian M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles  are seen operating on the northern part of this sector, some sources suggest that at least one  battalion of the 47th Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Army has been recently transferred to  help with the defense of the northern flank.

Reports from Russian sources like  Rybar confirm that the Ukrainian Army is counterattacking Russian forces from the  towns of Ocheretyne and Novokalynove aiming to dislodge the Russian troops from the trenches  north of Krasnohorivka, threatening their flank and slowing down the Russian offensive  towards Stepove and the Chemical Plant.

So far it seems that this strategy is  working, because in footage published yesterday by Ukrainian sources, it seems  that the Russian Army engaged a part of its mechanized units on the heavy battles  that are taking place in this direction.

As seen from the footage, during the battles  the Ukrainian drone units managed to damage and destroy at least 4 Russian tanks. Battles are also ongoing in the southern part of this sector but with a lower intensity. Ukrainian forces with the help of FPV drones and Russians pushed back south of Avdiivka artillery, counterattacked south of Avdiivka  and managed to dislodge the Russian forces from a number of positions along the highways and  railways that pass in this direction. Russian forces are reportedly making new efforts to  regain control over this area, but so far, they have not achieved any visible success. A few kilometers to the west, Russian forces seem to have paused their assaults towards  Sieverne and Tonenke and are instead focusing their efforts on the town of Pervomaiske. It seems that the continuous Ukrainian counterattacks on this flank succeeded in  shifting the attention of Russian forces away from the strategic positions near  the villages of Sieverne and Tonenke.

In Kherson front battles were reported  taking place in the new Ukrainian bridgeheads Ukrainians solidify control across Dnipro river near Krynky and north of Pidstepne. According to geolocated footage published by Ukrainian sources, Ukrainian troops have  now consolidated the new positions across the Dnipro River and are constantly probing  the Russian defenses, looking for weak spots which they can exploit in order to  advance and capture new strategic points.

Russian source WarGonzo reported  that with the support of artillery, Ukrainian forces continued to attack near Poima  and Pishcanivka aiming to reach the intersection of the M-14 and M-17 highways which according to  him are located about 5 kilometers away from the current Ukrainian positions. North of Pidstepne and near Krynky the situation is more intense. A few days ago, the Ukrainian forces managed to gain a foothold north of the village of Pidstepne  and captured some trenches in this direction.

According to the latest reports from the Russian  sources, Ukrainians maintain control over these positions and are still trying to expand  their area of control following the road.

Ukrainians stop Russian attack near Krynky. Thanks to the support from the other bank of  the river, by FPV drones and artillery fire, Ukrainian forces also continue to hold their  positions inside the buildings in Krynky.

Despite the Russian attempts to drive Ukrainian  soldiers out of the village using mechanized units, it seems that Russian forces suffered  losses during the battles near Krynky. Thanks to FPV drones yesterday the Ukrainian forces  destroyed at least 2 Russian tanks in this area, a T-90M and another 1 T-72B3M tank. Another attack of the Russian infantry forces through the forest south of  the settlement
