Russia Continues Assault on Krasnogorivka from Multiple Directions
According to the Rybar channel, in the Donetsk direction, Russia continues to attack the city of Krasnogorivka from multiple directions.
In the eastern outskirts, over the past few days, Moscow’s forces have fought along four streets and secured positions on Zapad Street, advancing towards Nakhimov Street.
In the city center, Russian assault groups have occupied several buildings north of Tsentralnaya Street and have advanced to the Metallurg Stadium and Shevchenko Park.
There is no information yet about battles within the park. It is likely that the park area will be surrounded by buildings to the west and east.
North of the refractory materials plant, in the past few days, assault groups have secured positions on Fermerskay Street and advanced to Sumskaya Street, where intense fighting is ongoing.
Meanwhile, on Administrativayap Street and Yaroslav Mudry Street, clashes between Russian forces and remnants of Ukrainian infantry groups continue, with cleanup operations ongoing.
In western Krasnogorivka, Kiev’s forces have been pushed out of the Aleksandrovskoe farm, disrupting part of the supply line for Ukrainian troops via Sedova Street in the outskirts. South of this farm, a livestock farm near Parizhskaya Kommuna Lake has come under Russian control.
Further advances into the private sector in the northern outskirts of Krasnogorivka remain complicated as Ukraine maintains control over Nevelskoe and the surrounding highlands.
Nevertheless, Russian forces have achieved significant success at the Pervomayskoe-Nevelskoe defensive line.
South of Netailovo, Moscow’s forces have occupied abandoned gardens and established positions on the territory of destroyed farms. However, Ukraine, after retreating from positions north of Domakh, still holds positions in Nevelskoe.
