19:20 Ugledar direction in the report of the SVO Reports and Analytics channel:

It is reported that our guys today advanced north and northeast of Nikolskoye by 500-600 meters. At these moments, the guys are strengthening themselves in newly occupied positions and awaiting a counterattack from the enemy. Then they prepare to advance and expand the zone of control in the direction of Ugledar.

In the near future, this section of the front will be frequently included in reports. This direction is extremely promising for the Russian army.

19:11 NGP intelligence reports from the Avdeevsky direction:

Since the night, measures to “consolidate” the enemy’s manpower and equipment continued on the northern flank. Rocket artillery was very active in the area of Stepovoy and Berdychi, and army aviation fired guided missiles at strong points.

Enemy targets in New York were also hit by rocket artillery fire, the flights were good, large and dense, by the morning a heavy downpour began and relative calm established itself.

In the area of the railway northeast of Stepovoy, our forces have advanced in the area of ??the so-called gardens, and cleanup continues.

Also, over the past 24 hours, the enemy has increased its efforts in remote mining; mines are not installed without removal; destruction from a safe distance is the most prudent way to clear mines.

18:20 According to the operational lines of the DPR JCCC for November 6, as of 18:00, information was received about damage as a result of artillery attack by the Air Forces of the cities of the Republic:

n.p. Gorlovka (Nikitovsky district):

Ukrainian nationalists fired at the rear city from the American HIMARS MLRS. There is not a single military installation nearby.

At least five MLRS missiles hit the peaceful city. Among the wounded is a ten-year-old girl. Her life is no longer in danger. The artillery attack of civilians does not stop.

16:28 Ukrainian troops fired three 155mm rounds at Gorlovka , the DPR representative office at the Joint Center for Control and Coordination of Issues Related to War Crimes of Ukraine (JCCC) reported .

15:25 Naval infantry are hitting the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the right bank of the Dnieper:

In the village of Krynki, the enemy is trying to expand the bridgehead, for which purpose small assault groups of the Ukrainian Armed Forces make forays almost every day. In addition, the enemy actively uses the folds of the terrain to hide their equipment.

There are very active artillery duels going on, including in the rear areas. Remote mining is used. Fighters from the field report an exceptionally large number of different UAVs from the enemy - both FPV kamikazes and Baba Yaga.

Nevertheless, our guys give a serious rebuff to the enemy, striking both at Krynki itself and at the opposite bank of the Dnieper. Onframesyou can see how the Caspian Naval Infantry, namely, the mortar battery of the 1st battalion of the 177th Naval Infantry Regiment destroys enemy positions on the right bank.

13:35 Military expert Boris Rozhin on the main points during the special military operation by 13.24 Moscow time on November 6, 2023:

Zaporozhye direction: in the Pyatikhatki area - no changes. In the area of the Rabotinsky salient, the enemy continues periodic local attacks with limited forces in the area of the settlement. Kopani, Rabotino, Verbovoe and Nopoprokopovka. Doesn't have any significant results. Conducts rotation.

Kherson direction: the enemy continues to hold part of the village of Krynki on the left bank of the Dnieper and has not yet been completely able to dislodge it from there, as the enemy continues to transfer groups of infantry to replace the killed and wounded. The bridgehead is covered by the active work of drones and artillery. The enemy expects to hold out in Krynki, gradually accumulate forces there and try to expand the bridgehead. This threat cannot be underestimated.

Vremevsky salient: the situation is stable. Our troops remain active in the area of the settlement. Sheltered and Harvest.

The enemy is rotating and strengthening the defense in the area. Rivnopol and Urozhaynoe. The enemy has not carried out offensives with decisive goals for a long time.

Ugledar: fighting continues in the area of the settlement. Novomikhailovka. After the initial successes of our troops with the advance to Novomikhailovka, the pace of advance dropped and the battles again took on a positional nature, recording the tactical success of the Russian Armed Forces.

Otherwise, the situation in the Ugledar direction remains stable.

Avdievka: Fierce fighting continues north and south of the city. To the south in the area of the settlement. Northern and the remnants of the “Royal Hunt” we have no serious progress yet. To the north, fighting continues for the railway northwest of Avdievka. The enemy brings reserves into the battle for counterattacks. Our troops are expanding the ledge near the village. Krasnogorovka, and are also conducting preparatory work to advance to the Avdeevsky coke plant.

Both sides suffer significant losses in people and equipment in these battles. Most of the enemy headquarters and part of the rear lines have already been withdrawn from Avdievka through the settlement Orlovka.

Artemovsk: the enemy continued attacks on the settlement line. Kleshcheevka-Andreevka-Kurdyumovka, with the aim of breaking through our defenses near the railway.

Our troops are launching counterattacks to push back the enemy. Over the past few days, at least once, the enemy managed to cross the railway to the north of the village. Andreevka, but he was rejected. Attempts continue. N.p. Kurdyumovka is under our control. North of Artemovsk the front is stable.

Svatovo-Kupyansk: The Russian Armed Forces maintain the initiative west of Svatovo and northeast of Kupyansk.

The enemy was able to slow down the advance of our troops by transferring reinforcements from other directions, but the initiative is still in our hands, which results in the slow capture of the strongholds on the eastern bank of Oskol.

In Kupyansk, the enemy continues to evict civilians to accommodate troops in residential areas. A forced “evacuation” is underway in the Kupyansky district. The enemy also stationed serious forces in the village. and Stelmakhovka.


12:37 Statement of Head of the press center of the “West” group:

During the fighting in the Kupyansk direction, units of the West group of troops, using the results of air and artillery strikes, repelled two attacks by assault groups of the 57th Separate Motorized Infantry Brigade in the Sin'kovka area.

In addition, the crews of the Ka-52 and Mi-28 helicopters of the army aviation attacked the concentration of manpower, weapons and military equipment of the 57th Motorized Infantry and 67th Mechanized Brigades in the Sin'kovka and Kislovka areas.

During the counterbattery fight, the group's military personnel destroyed a Polish-made 155mm self-propelled artillery mount "Crab", a 122mm self-propelled artillery mount 2S1 "Gvozdika" and an ammunition supply point in the areas of Peschanoye, Lozovoye and the Dedovo tract.

The total enemy losses amounted to up to a company of manpower.

12:25 The Ukrainian Armed Forces communications station was destroyed destroyed after a meeting with the Lancet loitering munition -video.

12:00 Avdeevskoe direction. District settlement Step:

After aerial reconnaissance, we work on identified enemy concentrations with mortars and artillery, reports the Frontline Bird.

At night, our Mi-28N “Night Hunter” helicopters hit the armored vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine using LMUR “Product 305”.

11:22 Combat work of crews of 122mm D-30 howitzers of the Airborne Forces in the special operation zone in the Artemovsk direction -video.

11:10 The offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Zaporozhye analysis of the Telegram channel “Military Chronicle”:

Firstly, we are talking about the fact that the forces assembled by the Ukrainian Armed Forces for the counter-offensive are practically exhausted. For the last 3-4 weeks, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have been launching infantry assaults without armored vehicles. The result is “meat assaults” that prevent serious success.

Secondly, now the attacks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are no longer breakthroughs - attempted attacks in the most favorable case for the Ukrainian Armed Forces turn into battles for a specific forest planting. Even if they manage to advance, after some time a counterattack by the Russian Armed Forces follows and the position is recaptured.

Thirdly, this does not mean that there are no battles in the Zaporozhye direction. Artillery activity, counter-battery warfare and reconnaissance work are not interrupted for a minute. For the troops, the current situation is still daily fighting, but with much less activity and intensity.

The situation on the Zaporozhye front is almost identical to what is happening on the Vremevsky salient. The initiative passed to the RF Armed Forces, and advancement in one landing for the Ukrainian Armed Forces ends with the loss of assault units and further advancement of the RF Armed Forces three landings forward, which makes the military actions of the Ukrainian side meaningless.

The command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is currently unable to offer the troops an alternative and, no less important, adequate plan of action. Available resources are practically exhausted, and each subsequent replenishment of personnel has many times less motivation, is less prepared and surrenders more often than the previous wave of mobilized ones.


10:55 Personnel attacks by Russian artillery units on positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Berestovoye area.

10:35 The criminal Kiev regime continues to shell the civilian infrastructure of settlements on the left bank of the Kherson region, yesterday during the day the Ukrainian Armed Forces fired cannon artillery:

-- n.p. Krynki 20 rounds;

-- n.p. Podstepnoe eight rounds;

-- n.p. Kazachi Lagery nine rounds;

-- n.p. Malaya Kardashinka six rounds;

-- n.p. Alyosha 11 rounds;

-- n.p. Obryvka six rounds.

During the night, the Kiev regime continued to shell civilian infrastructure in the village. Novaya Kakhovka, n.p. Kakhovka, n.p. Dnepryany, n.p. Krynki, n.p. Kazachi Lagery, n.p. Aleshki, Peschanovka village, firing a total of 25 rounds from cannon artillery.

Civilian casualties and destruction of infrastructure are being determined.

10:15 Situation in the Zaporozhye direction at 10:00:

At n.p. Rabotino’s troops of the Russian Federation confidently restrained the enemy’s attempts to attack, and in one of the areas they caught the enemy well and were able to counterattack. Thus, they took two enemy strongholds. The enemy uses technology much less often. Many silent Polish mortars appeared along the entire line of contact. They often use cluster munitions.

10:00 In the Kupyansk direction, the enemy is preparing an unscheduled rotation of one of the battalions of the 41st brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the Kirovograd and Odessa regions.

Over the past few days, the militants have suffered heavy losses north of the village of Stepovaya Novoselovka.

09:40 At the Ukrainian Armed Forces front, it is becoming increasingly difficult to show something serious, both due to the growing shortage of equipment and due to our pressure. Against this background, we can expect another attempt to strengthen the media component - by intensifying attacks on our rear. This, at a minimum, costs Western sponsors much less - it is cheaper to bring in another 20-30 missiles than to transfer equipment to arm a battalion.

At the same time, a battalion of three hundred to four hundred people in current conditions will quickly wear down in battles without a trace or meaning, and 20-30 missiles will be enough for 2-3 effective strikes, with several hits, the results of which can be sucked up for a long time in dreams of victory.

09:36 Over the past 24 hours, 39 incidents of firing from the AFU have been recorded.

Information has been received about the death of two civilians in Dokuchaevsk. Two civilians were injured of varying degrees of severity, incl. child born in 2010, in Dokuchaevsk and Petrovsky district of Donetsk. 27 residential buildings were damaged in Dokuchaevsk and Nikitovsky district of Gorlovka, as well as two civil infrastructure facilities.

The areas of three settlements of the Republic were under enemy fire: Gorlovka (Tsentralno-Gorodskoy, Nikitovsky districts), the capital city of Donetsk (Kuibyshevsky, Kirovsky, Petrovsky districts), Dokuchaevsk.

In the Donetsk direction, the enemy carried out 14 attacks from 155mm artillery and attack UAVs.

On Gorlovsky there were 24 artillery attacks from 155mm and 152mm artillery.

On Dokuchaevsky one artillery attack from MLRS.

A total of 128 units of various ammunition were fired.

09:30 From the Kherson direction (Krynok district) the Front Bird reports:

“The enemy continues to hold part of the village and is trying to pull up even more assault groups, there are heavy oncoming battles, we are trying to throw the Nazis into the river. A large number of fpv drones with drops, also reconnaissance. drones correct enemy artillery and tanks operating on the right side of the Dnieper.

Our assault groups continue to crush the enemy house by house, and the artillery, in turn, suppresses the enemy at the crossings.

It is from this area that the enemy intends to create a bridgehead for a further offensive with large forces.”

08:39 Ukrainian militants at 8:00 fired 6 rockets from the MLRS at the Nikitovsky district of Gorlovka - representative office of the DPR JCCC.

08:14 Frontline report for the morning 11/06/2023:

In the Ugledarsky sector, Russian troops, with the support of artillery, managed to reach Staromayorsky from the southwest. The Ukrainian Armed Forces have a problem here. Tactical for now.
