Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [NewsFront] 23:55 Official summary of the DPR Representative Office in the JCCC from 00:00 12/07/2023 to 00:00 12/08/2023 Over the past 24 hours Representative office reported about 19 facts of firing by the Ukrainian Federal Unitary Forces. Information has been received about the death of a child – a boy born in 2010. in the Central City district of Gorlovka. Two civilians were injured of varying degrees of severity in the Petrovsky district of Donetsk. Six residential buildings were damaged in the Petrovsky and Kuibyshevsky districts of Donetsk, the Central City, Nikitovsky districts of Gorlovka, as well as one civil infrastructure facility. The areas of three settlements of the Republic were under enemy fire: Gorlovka (Tsentralno-Gorodskoy, Nikitovsky districts), Yasinovatsky district, the capital city of Donetsk (Kuibyshevsky, Kirovsky, Petrovsky districts). In the Donetsk direction, the enemy carried out 12 attacks from MLRS, 155mm artillery, and attack UAVs. At Gorlivske there were 6 artillery attacks from MLRS, 155mm and 152mm artillery. On Yasinovatsky there was one artillery attack from 155mm artillery. A total of 82 units of various ammunition were fired. A previous 39 artillery attacks were recorded from the VFU side per day. 21:00 In the Krivoy Rog defense brigade report about high losses due to problems with the material and technical base The personnel of the 129th Territorial Defense Brigade complain about the lack of evacuation means, fuel and spare parts for vehicles, blaming the brigade command. 19:25 Mobile groups of air defense units cover tankers in the South Donetsk direction Anti-aircraft gunners of the Vostok group of forces effectively counteract enemy reconnaissance and strike drones using Verba MANPADS and fire weapons on MTLB. But the main problem on the line of combat contact is the stealth reconnaissance drones. To combat them, fighters use Pars-NU anti-drone rifles. “At the moment, this is the most relevant weapon,” says the commander of an anti-aircraft missile platoon with the call sign “Decan.” – The gun is very easy to use, anyone can use it. You run out, catch the target, and the most important thing is to escort it to the place of forced landing.” The anti-drone gun creates radio interference, the operator loses contact with the drone, resulting in loss of control. The main task of mobile groups is to cover armored vehicles on the march and in positions. Therefore, air defense crews are always somewhere nearby and reliably control the sky above our soldiers. 19:14 They report about a missile attack on the Mirgorod airfield (Poltava region). Apparently, Kh-59 cruise missiles flew at the facility. Ukrainian monitoring channels write that at least two powerful explosions were heard. Let us recall that Su-27 aircraft of the 831st Tactical Aviation Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were based (and probably still are based) at this airfield. 18:27 Ukrainian troops shelled the Nikitovsky district of Gorlovka, firing 4 rounds of 155mm caliber - representative office of the JCCC DPR. 17:30 Group of troops “Dnepr” in the Kherson direction struck the place of preparation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for crossing the Dnieper on the right bank with FAB 500 with UPMK. 16:20 “Russian hawks” again “deprived the eyes” of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Calculation of UAV 33 SMEs of the Russian Armed Forces “Russian Hawks”, using a drone of the “Sudoplatov” project (Judgment Day),disabledanother video surveillance camera of Ukrainian nationalists in the vicinity of the village. Novomikhailovka. 15:48 Ukrainian militants fired 20 rockets from the MLRS at the Petrovsky and Kirovsky districts of Donetsk - representative of the DPR JCCC. 15:27 Brief information summary on the Left Bank of the Dnieper from Dnepro_Rub: “Over the past 24 hours, while trying to cross the river, 19 enemy boats were destroyed. The enemy did not take any active actions, but conducted reconnaissance from drones. Conducts harassing fire from mortars, often working with drops from copters and FPV drones. He's trying to crush us with electronic warfare. The ANT-PQ-50 counterbattery warfare radar was destroyed in the Sergeevka area. Artillery and VKS FABs with UMPC are working on enemy positions. Enemy losses: 120 people, two vehicles, 25 drones, 3 observation posts.” 14:27 The main thing from the Russian Ministry of Defense report: In the Kupyansk direction, five Ukrainian attacks were repelled, the Ukrainian Armed Forces lost up to 75 people, two tanks, four armored personnel carriers. 14:10 Near the village of Veseloe, the 51st Motorized Rile Regiment of our division advanced two km forward. At Kleshcheevka, the 119th Motorized Rifle Regiment approached the opornik at a height; if we take Kleshcheevka, it’s completely ours and the road to Chasovy Yar is under control. 13:37 The situation in the Kupyansky direction on December 7 – analysis from Multi_XAM As a result of a rocket and artillery strike, the crossing over Oskol from Osinovo to Kupyansk-Uzlovaya was destroyed, which the enemy tried several times to restore. Having pulled up long-range artillery reserves to the area west of Kupyansk - to the forest area between Blagodatovka and Sobolevka, the Ukrainian Armed Forces for two days conducted barrage fire on the front edge of the units of the Russian Armed Forces advancing near Sinkovka and Petropavlovka. In the Nechvolodovka area, at a distance from the potential range of our artillery, the enemy deployed M142 HIMARS MLRS systems (up to two units - they worked in places where our equipment and electronic warfare equipment accumulated in the Vilshan area). Of the existing crossings in Kupyansk, where a maximum of SUVs can travel, only a small one remains in the area of ??the destroyed railway bridge. But its capacity is clearly insufficient to fully supply the group on the left bank. This is not the first day that the enemy here has experienced interruptions in the supply of ammunition, especially mines and artillery rounds. 13:34 Zaporozhyefront, eastern flank: The enemy is trying to move forward, suppressing his actions is associated with constantly identifying him on the ground and at temporary deployment points. Drops, mortars and artillery work are ongoing. In buildings, the enemy takes refuge in the remains of buildings, and in fields - in dugouts. 13:07 Consequences of the artillery attack of the Budennovsky district of Donetsk -video. 12:20 Statement of Head of the press center of the "South" group: Units of the Yuzhnaya group of troops, with the support of aviation and artillery fire, successfully repelled an attack by assault groups of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the positions of our troops in the area of the village of Belogorovka, destroying up to ten military personnel of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. 11:35 Consequences of the night artillery attack of the village of the Kochegarka mine (Central City district of Gorlovka) by the Ukrainian Armed Forces -photo. 10:44 Situation on the Rabotino-Verbovoye section at 10.30: Early in the morning the enemy attacked our positions at Rabotino. However, he was discovered in a timely manner and came under heavy fire. As a result of the battle, the Ukrainian Armed Forces infantry retreated. 10:25 Statement of Head of the press center of the Center group: In the Serebryansky forest area, the actions of a unit of a motorized rifle regiment, supported by artillery fire, defeated the assault group of the 5th Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine. 10:05 Reports are coming in that Russian assault troops have cleared half of the “super fortification” of the Ukrainian Armed Forces at height 215 north of Kleshcheevka. 09:30 The criminal Kiev regime continues to fire at the civilian infrastructure of settlements on the left bank of the Kherson region, yesterday during the day the Ukrainian Armed Forces fired from cannon artillery: -- n.p. Kazachi Lagery five rounds; -- n.p. Dnepryan two rounds; -- n.p. Krynki 31 rounds; -- n.p. Alyosha 11 rounds; -- n.p. Staraya Zburevka two rounds; -- n.p. Novaya Mayachka two rounds; -- n.p.

Korsunka, n.p. Aleshki, n.p. Dnepryany, n.p. Krynki, n.p. Golaya Pristan, firing a total of 36 rounds from cannon artillery. Civilian casualties and destruction of infrastructure are being determined. 09:25 The situation in the Zaporozhye direction in the Verbovoy area is reported by the Front Bird: “In the morning, the enemy tried to organize a counterattack with up to a platoon. We fought back. The artillery covered the dry land with several calibers at once. Now we are developing the attack.” 08:14 Frontline report for the morning: In the Kherson-Crimean direction, Ukrainian marines continued offensive operations in the Krynok area and are strengthening their positions in the village itself in engineering terms. We can say that they will try to hold this bridgehead at any cost. And it is possible that in the near future they will try to land on the left bank of the Dnieper in other areas controlled by the Russian Armed Forces. 08:05 “Lancets” destroy two radars and a mobile communications station for militants Crews of reconnaissance drones identified an ST-68 radar belonging to the enemy on the right bank of the Dnieper. She was moving along the highway in the rear area of the Ukrainian formations. To destroy it, the command of one of the airborne formations from the Dnepr group of troops decided to use the Lancet loitering munition. The launch was carried out by one of the crews of the “winged infantry” unmanned aircraft. Professionally and competently controlling the Lancet, the UAV operator disabled the enemy radar with a direct hit. Subsequently, airborne reconnaissance officers discovered a P-18 radar at a combat position and a mobile communications station for the militants. They were also disabled by a direct hit from the Lancet loitering munition. 08:01 Summary on the morning of December 7, 2023: At night, “Geraniums” were especially active in the port cities of Kiliya, Izmail, and Reni in the Odessa region. Our drones also worked on targets in the Bolgrad district of the region; previously there was information about the use of this area to shelter delivered weapons and equipment, as well as to accommodate mercenaries. It was reported that the enemy had detected “Geraniums” at the Starokonstantinov airfield in the Khmelnitsky region. |
