[NewsFrontInfo] 23:59 Official summary of the DPR Representative Office in the JCCC from 00:00 08/07/2023 to 00:00 08/08/2023
Over the past day, the Representation reported 28 facts of firing by the AFU.
There were no reports of civilian casualties.
Three residential buildings were damaged in the Kirovsky district of Donetsk, the Central City district of Gorlovka and Yasinovataya, as well as 3 civilian infrastructure facilities.
The areas of four settlements of the Republic were under enemy fire: Gorlovka (Central City, Kalininsky, Nikitovsky districts), Yasinovataya, Yasinovatsky district, the capital city of Donetsk (Kuibyshevsky, Kirovsky, Kievsky, Petrovsky districts).
In the Donetsk direction, the enemy made 20 artillery attacks from 155mm artillery.
On Gorlovsky 5 artillery attacks from 152mm artillery.
On Yasinovatsky 3 artillery attacks from 155mm artillery.
By releasing 100 units of various ammunition.
In the previous day, 53 artillery attacks were recorded from the side of the VFU.
22:18 The head of the Kursk region announced the suppression of two drones by EW forces.
21:50 Orekhovskoye direction soldiers from the Akhmat-Vostok battalion hold the first line of defense -video.
20:49 Investigators of the UK discovered fragments of ammunition produced by NATO countries at the site of the artillery attack of Dniprorudny in the Zaporozhye region.
20:20 It is reported that during the counterattack, the RF Armed Forces returned a number of previously lost positions near the village of Rabotino (Zaporozhye direction). Ukrainian military analysts recognize the loss of part of the positions.
Thus, in the main direction of the counteroffensive, the Armed Forces of Ukraine achieved little, and even less.
19:46 The village of the mine named after V. I. Lenin is partially de-energized as a result of artillery attack by Ukrainian troops, Gorlovka Mayor Ivan Prikhodko reports in his telegram channel.
“As a result of the Ukrainian armed aggression, the Gorlovsky village of the mine named after V.I. Lenin, - the message says.
19:40 Personnel the work of 122mm BM-21 "Gradov" units of the Central Military District in the Krasnolimansk direction.
18:45 Video: The Armed Forces of Ukraine opened fire 40 times in a day on the settlements of the Zaporozhye region, said the acting governor of the region Yevhen Balitsky.
He noted that two of the six civilians injured during the artillery attack of the city of Dneprorudnoe remain in serious condition.
17:47 During the day, the offensive of the Ukrainian army in the Orekhov area wasstopped, and the Russian group advanced in a counterattack in the area northeast of Rabotino.
On the Novoselovka-Staromayorskoye section, the Ukrainian army is again trying to attack Urozhaynoye from the west and north-west with massive forces.
Russian tanks, anti-tank systems and artillery are intensively hitting the area. The lines of communication of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are under pressure from FPV drones, loitering ammunition and combat helicopters. Periodically, airstrikes are also carried out by glide bombs.
New offensive efforts by Ukrainian forces south of Bakhmut were unsuccessful. One of the units of the Azov Regiment (a terrorist organization banned in Russia) has lost its combat capability, possibly with losses of more than 85%, having suffered heavy losses in recent weeks, and is trying to withdraw from the area.
In the Oskol region, Russia halted the Ukrainian counteroffensives and advanced northeast of Kupyansk, continuing large and small offensives with mechanized units along the front line.
On this line, a fate similar to the "Azov" in a matter of days befell the defense brigade. The only difference is that there are too many cases of desertion and surrender.
Ukraine is putting forward every additional battalion and brigade it can muster to say that the counter-offensive continues.
Ukrainian mobilized, short-term, and well-trained and experienced personnel are rapidly depleted in the face of the intense firepower of the RF Armed Forces.
In the Oskol direction, where the tactics of artillery attack and joint military operations of the Russian army were more intense, this situation manifested itself in an increase in the number of deserters and soldiers who took refuge in Russia, communicating on special frequencies allocated by the Russian command.
Thus, in the long term, the first signs of a movement towards more widespread cases of desertion, capitulation, and even rebellion began to take shape.
16:54 Soledar direction situation as of 16.00 August 7, 2023
Around Bakhmut, after a brief lull, Ukrainian formations resumed attacks on Russian positions in small groups.
On the northern flank, the nationalist battalion "Donbass" was transferred to Zvanovka. Apparently, in the near future, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will again begin attacks in the direction of Yakovlevka.
Also last night, several assault groups on nine units of armored vehicles of various types rolled from the side of Orekhovo-Vasilevka and the highway to Slavyansk. Helicopters of army aviation dealt several blows to the attackers, as a result of which the Armed Forces of Ukraine retreated.
Also, shooting battles are taking place at the turn of Yagodnoye - Berkhovka, where the Armed Forces of Ukraine are trying to break through the defense of Russian fighters with small forces. Artillerymen of the RF Armed Forces are firing heavily at enemy strongholds in Khromovo.
On the southern flank near Kleshcheevka, the enemy is recuperating. One of the unidentified formations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine will be disbanded due to losses, and the personnel will be sent to resupply the 23rd and 33rd Brigades in the Orekhovsky and Ugledarsky districts.
Early in the morning, two tanks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (one with a mine sweep) and two infantry fighting vehicles attacked the lines of the 72nd Motorized Rifle Brigade of the RF Armed Forces, covering the infantry.

On the Staromayorskoye sector, an enemy infantry group tried to attack the positions of the Russian Armed Forces near Urozhaynoye, but as a result of a small arms battle, the Russian army fighters repelled the attack.

Our artillerymen and aviation are conducting a massive artillery attack of Ukrainian formations. Due to intense fire, the forces of the rifle battalion of the 1st detachment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine retreated from the landings west of Staromayorsky.

Also, mortar crews work throughout the day. The enemy is actively using cluster munitions day and night, indiscriminately shooting at civilians and military, trying to raze everything to the ground.
On the front lines, in addition to the above weapons, tanks and infantry fighting vehicles of the enemy come out every day along with aircraft. Himars are used at the advanced positions of the RF Armed Forces.
I want to note that the RF Armed Forces have the strongest support, if any equipment is detected, all Arta flies there. As soon as the enemy begins to move to the forefront, the RF Armed Forces at the highest level, with the support of artillery, tanks, "Sunshine" and aircraft of the RF Armed Forces, fights back!

12:39 Orekhovsky area situation as of August 7, 2023
The activity of Ukrainian formations in the Orekhovsky sector remains low. Continuous attempts to break through the line Rabotino - Verbovoye and Pyatikhatki - Zherebyanka led to heavy losses in manpower. Because of this, paratroopers of the 46th Airborne Brigade of the Airborne Forces of Ukraine from the Marun tactical group were deployed from the rear areas to Orekhov. Earlier, formations of 71 ebr arrived at Belogorye.
So far, units of the 46th Separate Airborne Brigade are occupying new frontiers. During the last days there were several small sorties by infantry groups, probably as part of the probing of the soil, but the attacks were repulsed. Artillery guns of the 44th and 47th Brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as from the formations of the 10th Army Corps, are also being drawn to the front line. At the same time, even in the "elite" brigades, there is a shortage of equipment, and due to lack of time, repair teams operate at the forefront.
Despite the reduction in combat potential, the enemy still has resources. The artillery attack does not stop, but the supply of rounds continues. But the introduction of the tactical group "Maroon" confirms the data on the heavy losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. As proof of this, a new brigade hastily formed in Primorsky.
