[NewsFront] 23:59 Official summary of the DPR Representative Office in the JCCC from 00:00 November 24, 2023 to 00:00 November 25, 2023

Over the past 24 hours, the Representative Office reported 31 incidents of firing by the Ukrainian Federal Unitary Forces.

Information was received about the injury of two civilians, incl. girls born 2010 #ChildrenNotTarget, in the Kirovsky district of Donetsk and Novolugansk.

Seven residential buildings were damaged in the Yasinovataya and Nikitovsky districts of Gorlovka. No damage to civilian infrastructure was recorded.

The areas of three settlements of the Republic were under enemy fire: Gorlovka (Nikitovsky district), Yasinovatsky district, the capital city of Donetsk (Kyiv, Kuibyshevsky, Kirovsky districts).

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

At Gorlivske there were 17 artillery attacks from 152mm and 155mm artillery, incl. with a cassette warhead.

On Yasinovatsky there were three artillery attacks from 155mm artillery.

A total of 103 units of various ammunition were fired.

In the previous day, 72 artillery attacks were recorded from the AFU.

21:24 In Avdievka by the evening of November 24:

On the southern flank, in the area of the industrial zone, the assault on the remaining enemy positions began in the morning.

Our tank crews made a daring rush to the front building in a zone controlled by the enemy and turned it around with direct fire. As a result of tank gun fire, ammunition in the building burst into flames, after which multiple secondary detonations occurred and the building partially collapsed.

At the same time, the neighboring building where the enemy had dug in was struck by cannon artillery, which also caused a fire and secondary detonation.

Having lost control of the situation, the enemy’s foot groups hastily left their positions and literally set a speed record in the middle-distance race, but not all of them.

Our assault infantry reinforced the enemy and cleared the positions; at the moment, 95% of the industrial zone is under our control.

The information about the liberation of the entire industrial zone, as well as the liberation of the dacha village, does not correspond to reality; we are talking about consolidation on the outskirts of the village southwest of the industrial zone.

20:20 Military Chronicle reports a massive air strike on the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kherson region

Ukrainian monitoring channels write that it is actively thundering along almost the entire right bank - from Stanislav and Kizomys to Tyaginka and Berislav.

According to preliminary data, at least 20 powerful arrivals were recorded. Presumably, FAB-500 M62 air bombs with planning and correction modules, as well as Kh-59 cruise missiles, are used for strikes.

19:14 The situation in the Zaporozhye direction is reported by the Paratrooper’s Diary:

There are active and heavy clashes in the Zaporozhye direction. The forces of the 108th Airborne Assault Regiment and the 7th Airborne Assault Regiment returned previously lost positions north of Verbovoye: the forest plantation had previously been occupied by enemy forces, after which the Paratroopers from the 108th Airborne Assault Regiment treated the enemy positions with volumetric explosion ammunition, after which they carried out assault operations to regain control of the forest belt area.

The enemy, having suffered losses and carried out evacuation operations, again began artillery attack Russian positions with artillery and cluster munitions.

We, in turn, work with 122mm D-30 cannon artillery, drones with drops, 120mm mortars, BMD-4M and Gorse.

19:05 Maryinsky direction:

Our army is gradually moving towards the south-eastern outskirts of the village of Novomikhailovka.

The offensive of our army is supported by aviation; since yesterday, cluster bombs (RBK-500) have also been used in this direction. Yesterday we managed to take two forest stands and advance 500 meters. The enemy confirms our success.

18:35 In the evening they report some successes of the Russian Armed Forces in the Avdeevsky direction in the area of ??the industrial zone. The positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the city area are being intensively shelled with artillery.

Fierce fighting continues near Stepovoy, as well as to the west of Krasnogorovka. The enemy is actively using up transferred reserves.

It is worth noting that the enemy headquarters are already in full swing preparing not for an offensive, but for a long, months-long defense, in the interests of which additional fortifications are now being built, including to the west of the Avdievka fortified area (in case Avdievka is surrendered and the Ukrainian Armed Forces group will have to retreat to the west to more prepared positions).

18:05 Consequences of direct hit by a VFU shell on a utility building on November 23, 2023 at the address: st. Udarnaya, 4/2 (residential area "Komsomolets", Nikitovsky district of Gorlovka).

17:24 Kherson direction: daring counterattack of the Russian Armed Forces in Krynki

Yesterday evening, Russian soldiers of the 810th Marine Brigade and the 144th Motorized Rifle Brigade carried out a sudden counterattack, unexpectedly for the Ukrainiannaval infantry who were holed up in a landing adjacent to Krynki.

As a result of the rapid attack, the Ukrainian Armed Forces were knocked out of the forest belt, and the assault detachments of the Ukrainian naval infantry began to flee from their positions, sowing chaos and disorder in the ranks of the enemy.

During a short battle, the Ukrainian naval infantry pulled back to the shore, requesting evacuation, during which they again came under fire from the MLRS and suffered losses.

At the moment, there are no enemy camps left, and all units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are concentrated in private buildings near the banks of the Dnieper. At night, two new assault groups were deployed from the right bank to carry out a counterattack. But now the Russian Armed Forces are holding their positions.

16:37 Once again, a child was injured in the Republic today as a result of an ammunition drop from a Ukrainian UAV. This was announced by the head of the DPR Denis Pushilin.

“A ten-year-old girl, a resident of Staromikhailovka, was taken with shrapnel wounds to a regional medical facility, she is receiving all the necessary assistance,” the head of the region wrote on the Telegram channel.

In addition, as a result of an explosion at the Lepestok plant in Novoluganskoye, a man born in 1966 was injured. - He was taken to the hospital with a traumatic amputation of his right foot.

Pacific Fleet naval infantry snipers know how to inflict maximum damage while remaining undetected. This group of heavy snipers has hundreds of targets.

12:20 The situation from the Donetsk direction is reported by the Vostok Battalion:

“The last two days have passed in intense fire exchanges with our obvious advantage. The feeling that the enemy had problems with ammunition in our sector grew into confidence: there was a clear saving of ammunition in case we went on the offensive. Apparently, everything is thrown to where the enemy “burns out” the most.

The other day they launched a Scalpel in the Avdeevsky direction (where the concentration is maximum) - the cannonade did not stop for a minute. Our MLRS system deployed right in front of our nose, worked and quickly retreated, forcing us to hastily change our position, avoiding the return. In general, now the pressure on our part in the Donetsk direction is reminiscent of the period of the beginning of the Northern Military District.”
