After yesterday's Russian offensive on Avdievka (Donetsk region), we can consider that a new great battle for this city has begun.

New details: People's Deputy Musa Magomedov, who was previously the director of the Avdeevsky Coke Plant, reported that tanks with resin were burning at the enterprise after the shelling.
Quote: “They continue to pour on the territory of AKHZ, purposefully destroying production facilities. Six missiles flew to the plant, tanks with resin are burning. The connection is very poor, but I know from the director that all employees of the target are hiding in shelters.”
Details: The offensive of Russian troops on Avdievka began on October 10. They launched a massive offensive near the city, and the fighting has been going on for two days now. According to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Russians have deployed about 2,000 of their troops in this direction.
Quote from Vitaly Barabash: “About 15:00 hrs on October 10, the Russians began to massively shell positions around Avdievka. In the evening, the invaders attacked the city. Ukrainian defenders have already destroyed about 60 units of Russian equipment, including 16 tanks.
On October 11, the Russians continue to storm Ukrainian positions are mainly in groups of 20-30 invaders in different directions. Today Russian troops do not use equipment. We must thank God for some kind of instinct of self-preservation among people, yesterday there were no wounded or dead, most likely they just heard it, what was happening around the city since the night, and that’s why they didn’t go out.”
Details: On October 11, it became known that a man born in 1938 had died. There were also two casualties. In addition, the invaders carried out an airstrike on a high-rise building, after which they are looking for people under the rubble. There may be an elderly man and woman there.
Quote: “This morning, about 10 missiles have already hit the city, there are hits on multi-storey buildings, there are hits and they hit the territory of the Avdievka coke plant and the old part of the city directly in an open area.”
What preceded: On the morning of October 11, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that in the Avdievka direction, the Russians, with up to three battalions, supported by tanks and armored vehicles, intensified offensive operations in the areas of Avdievka, Tonenky, Keramik and Pervomaisky of the Donetsk region.

Russian occupation forces continue to storm Avdiivka, Donetsk region.
This was reported by the head of the Avdiyiv MBA Vitaliy Barabash.
"The Russians are trying to break through our defenses under the cover of rocket attacks and heavy artillery fire, using everything they have," he wrote.
From the Telegram post:
The storming of Avdiivka does not stop. The Russians are trying to break through our defenses under the cover of rocket attacks and heavy artillery fire, using everything they have at their disposal.
As a result of today's rocket strike, unfortunately, there are civilians injured.
But how long do these bombings last - it is impossible to get used to this! Every time this sur shocks... The children's sports ground in Avdiivka is against the background of a dilapidated house with a completely folded entrance... In the still smoldering rooms, surviving household appliances and other signs of the peaceful life that recently raged here can be seen.
Is this what they call "liberation"? Victory? When everything is destroyed and people die?
It will be recalled that the occupiers fired about 10 rockets at Avdiivka, Donetsk region . There are hits in high-rise buildings, in an open area, on the territory of the Avdiyiv Coke Chemical Plant. It is known that one person died, two more people were injured.
