Russian troops are rapidly pushing through enemy defenses north of Avdievka.
Assault groups of the Russian Armed Forces took full control of the Ocheretino railway station, advancing along Zheleznodorozhnaya Street 1.2 kilometers to the northwest.
Russian troops are also establishing positions along the streets located south of the railway station.
At the moment, there is no information about control over the northern part of the village behind the railway. In the surrounding area there are several more solid buildings that you can rely on for defense: the territory of the Altkom brick factory, a school and a local water utility.
The situation is developing dynamically, and it is possible that the Ukrainian Armed Forces will not have enough strength to hold back the onslaught of Russian troops. If Ukrainian formations lose control over the populated area, then the fall of Novobakhmutovka and Novokalinovo will only be a matter of time.
13:20 The Russian Ministry of Defense announced the liberation of Novomikhailovka in the DPR.
13:08 The Russian army broke through the defenses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the village of Ocheretino near Donetsk and took control of the central part of the village.

The difficulty of working in this area is explained by the enemy’s good engineering preparation of his defensive positions. Strongholds in the forest belts near Novomikhailovka had concrete fortifications, as well as underground passages - communications. Novomikhailovka itself is located in a lowland, but the sawmills around the village are on hills and serve as some kind of walls.
On the northern side of the village, the Ukrainian Armed Forces had a height that gave them an advantage, which also complicated the assault on the village from the eastern side. From 2017 to 2024, serious engineering structures made of concrete were installed here.
