Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:

[C9lonelCassad] Over the past 24 hours, our attack aircraft have broken through the enemy’s defenses south of the coke plant and reached Industrial Avenue.

The key supply road for the Avdievka garrison has been cut. The information is confirmed by enemy sources.

Now those who live south of Koksokhim have essentially only one road left, which goes through Orlovka to the Khimik microdistrict.

In the coming week, we can expect attempts by the Ukrainian Armed Forces to counterattack on the flanks in order to stabilize the deteriorating situation in Avdievka.

More details from Russkaya Vesna:
“General Frost and Colonel Fog” help the Russians: they break through the defenses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Avdeevka from the north and south

The analytical resource DS, working for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, publishes analytics on the situation in Avdievka:

“The Russians have two allies - General Frost and Colonel Fog. It is these factors that Muscovites often use when carrying out assaults; the latter played an important role in the last days in the battle for Avdeevka.

On February 10–11, the Russian Armed Forces, taking advantage of the fact that the fog covered Avdeevka and the surrounding area, began assault operations in many places. Yesterday there was a saturation of personnel, and one Russian military and military equipment almost reached Industrial Avenue.

Today they increased the pressure. In particular, attacking Zenit (a fortified area based on an air defense base), attacks on which were repelled, unlike the flanks. In the north, the Russians are pushing through the area of ​​dachas and car depots. Thus, they managed to cut the route, which was already dangerous to use.

The situation in Avdievka is getting worse every day. Logistics today is completely under enemy fire control, as a result of which entering and leaving the city is a lottery. Decisions should be made that will, first of all, save the lives of soldiers, and not turn Avdiivka into another “fortress” with songs and poems.”

And militants from the Omega unit report: “Yes, unfortunately, the enemy was able to get to the same road. The situation has deteriorated significantly, logistics need a solution! We are very worried about the guys who are there now, but we believe and hope that we will be able to correct the situation.”

Even more from Russkaya Vesna:
The Russian army cut Avdeevka in half (MAP)

The Russian army cut Avdeevka in half, cutting off the south of the city!

Now the supply of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the southern part of the city is under enormous threat. Resources working for the Armed Forces of Ukraine write about this in panic, publishing maps of the changed situation.

Also before this, the Ukrainian military correspondent reported that the “Road of Life” had been cut by Russian soldiers.

Now, on the enemy maps, the Russian Armed Forces occupied the fortified area of ​​the Armed Forces of Ukraine at the motor depot and reached the edge of Avdievka - Industrial Avenue, now advancing in both directions against the Armed Forces of Ukraine grouping divided into 2 parts.

Even in the morning, Ukrainian analysts reported that “in the northern part of Avdievka there are battles in the area of ​​the western dachas, the motor depot, along Chistyakov Street and the 50th Anniversary AKHZ Lane.”

“In the south of Avdievka, Russian troops continue assault operations along Sobornaya, Chernyshevsky streets and in the area of ​​the Vineyards 2 gardening community.”

Now much of this is under the control of the Russian army.

#2  Russians make the distinction between the physical cutting of a supply line and placing it under fire control.
