19:19 Velikaya Znamenka under fire by Ukrainian Armed Forces militants

Today, from 15:30 to 16:00, the village of Velikaya Znamenka, Kamenko-Dneprovsky district, Zaporozhye region, was shelled by the Nazis. In total, six strikes from heavy weapons were carried out on this one.

The Nazis targeted schools and residential buildings on Gogol, Limannaya and Zaporozhskaya streets. Several households were damaged.

18:55 Militants of the Ukrainian Armed Forces fired 15 rockets from the MLRS at the Kuibyshevsky and Kievsky districts of Donetsk - representative of the DPR JCCC.

18:46 The sound of an explosion was heard in Melitopol. The air defense system worked, the city was under reliable protection.

18:25 Vremyevsky sector: withdrawal of two brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to the rear and preparation for a new attack on Novomayorskoye situation as of 18.00 September 10, 2023:

The enemy continues the attack on the Novodonetskoye-Novomayorskoye line, launching three attacks during the night alone. The tactics of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are the same: enemy armored vehicles deliver infantry to forest belts, after which assault groups try to enter the positions of the Russian Armed Forces.

However, these forays ended in nothing for the Ukrainian formations: Russian troops constantly watched the front line and inflicted fire damage, forcing the Ukrainian Armed Forces to retreat.

At the same time, the Russian Armed Forces worked on targets near the front line, inflicting manpower losses and suppressing the mortar crew. Soldiers of the 394th Motorized Rifle Regiment of the 127th Motorized Rifle Division destroyed an electronic warfare station south of Rovnopol, and a salvo of heavy flamethrower systems destroyed an Ukrainian Armed Forces stronghold near Priyutnoye, in which there were 13 members of Ukrainian formations.

Information also appeared about the withdrawal of units 23 and 31 from the front line, which, after summer battles and significant losses, went to restore combat capability in Mezhevaya and Georgievka in the Dnepropetrovsk region.

At the same time, the enemy does not intend to abandon a further offensive in the Vremevsky sector - at the moment we are only talking about changing the direction of the attack from Staromlynovka to Novomayorskoye. For these purposes, in Prechistovka, Ukrainian formations made up for the losses in the assault groups of the 35th InfantryRegiment.

18:20 The Ukrainian Armed Forces are faced with a shortage of sappers in Zaporozhye: analysis Military chronicle:

The situation for Ukrainian troops in the Rabotino-Verbovoe sector is complicated for several reasons.

Firstly, all active movement of Ukrainian units is limited to an area of 105-110 square kms in the triangle between Novodanilovka, Orekhov and Malaya Tokmachka. However, it cannot be called safe: the entire area is covered by cannon and rocket artillery of the Russian Armed Forces.

Secondly, minefields are still an unsolvable problem for Ukrainian Armed Forces units. Remote mining systems continue to allow the Russian Armed Forces to complicate the entire logistics of Ukrainian ground forces in the area. It is impossible to clear the newly installed barriers: regular military sappers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are eliminated by reconnaissance groups and artillery of the Russian Armed Forces.

It is impossible to train new sappers and quickly send them to the battlefield. As a result, the key formations of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' vanguard in this direction, including the 46th Special Airborne Brigade, the 82nd Specialized Aviation Brigade and the 47th Mechanized Infantry Brigade, faced a sharp shortage of sappers.

The situation with minefield clearance is partially resolved through so-called live mine clearance, when mobilized recruits are sent to an unexplored offensive area in pickup trucks. The experienced sappers remaining at the disposal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine often work without fire cover and equipment, which is why they quickly die from artillery fire or during incursions by special forces units of the Russian Armed Forces.

Thirdly, the terrain features also affect the losses of sappers. The entire attack vector of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in this area was built to bypass the main heights occupied by the Russian army. As a result, Ukrainian troops are forced to advance in the lowlands (mainly only along the remaining part of the asphalt roads), which is under the fire control of the Russian Armed Forces. Due to the peculiarities of the terrain and the well-built surveillance system of the Russian Armed Forces, any activity of Ukrainian troops, including attempts to clear mines, is quickly discovered and stopped by Russian troops.

18:05 According to the operational lines of the DPR JCCC for September 10, as of 18:00, information was received about civilian casualties in the cities of the Republic:

n.p. Makeevka (Chervonogvardeisky district): - on the street. Kalmiusskaya, 117, a man born in 1962 was wounded.

Ukrainian militants do not stop terrorizing the civilian population of Donbass. Today at about 15:00 they struck a private residential sector, hitting a house. At the time of the shelling, there were two little girls inside - fortunately, neither of them were injured.

As a resident of the house said, she was also lucky - the shell arrived almost immediately as soon as she went under the roof. However, her husband remained on the porch and suffered severe shrapnel wounds to his abdomen, face and arms.

We continue to strictly move on.”

In the Vremevsky sector, the enemy again tried to drive manpower to the northwestern outskirts of Novomayorsky. In addition, he continues to lose equipment in the forest belts on the way to the village. Naval infantry of the 40th Guards reported that they had identified cases of lads from the enemy’s 35th /infantry Regiment fighting infantry regiment refusing to continue the offensive;

during the night, near the platoon, the Armed Forces of Ukraine independently withdrew from positions in the forest belt and went towards Prechistovka. The enemy command is trying to force the soldiers to go on the attack, convincing them in the spirit of “go, there is no one there.”

On the western flank in the area of Priyutny-Zavetnye Zhelanii-Staromlynovka it is still relatively calm. There is no information about active enemy actions here. It seems that he even abandoned attempts to recapture the forest belts north of Priyutnoye that were lost a week ago.

Most of Rabotino is in the gray zone (the enemy was never able to establish control over the village and Rabotino repeated the fate of Pyatikhatki). Verbovoye remained under the control of the Russian Armed Forces. Attempts to cling to the outskirts of Verbovoy led nowhere.

In the morning they reported that ours had even slightly improved their positions in the Verbovoy area, having fought back a couple of landings.
