[NewsFront] 23:55 Official summary of the DPR Representative Office in the JCCC from 00:00 November 29, 2023 to 00:00 November 30, 2023
Over the past 24 hours Representative office reported
about 15 facts of firing from the AFU.There were no reports of civilian casualties.
Four residential buildings were damaged in the Petrovsky district of Donetsk, the Central City district of Gorlovka, and 1 civil infrastructure facility was also damaged.
The areas of two settlements of the Republic were under enemy fire: Gorlovka (Nikitovsky, Central City districts), the capital city of Donetsk (Kuibyshevsky, Petrovsky districts).
In the Donetsk direction, the enemy carried out 10 attacks from 155mm artillery.
At Gorlivske there were five artillery attacks from 155mm and 152mm artillery. 49 units of various ammunition were produced.
A previous 38 artillery attacks were recorded by the VFU during the day.
22:42 Kupyansk direction. Since the very morning, the enemy has been trying with all his might to counterattack and drive our attack aircraft out of the northern part of Sin'kovka - there is a fierce battle on the street on May 1st. Ours are fighting to the death, but the “Germans” also intend to persist in their delusions to the end. We believe in Russian guys.
19:34 Soledar direction situation as of 19.00 November 29, 2023:
On the flanks of Bakhmut, Russian troops seized the initiative from the enemy, who had used up resources during unsuccessful attempts to encircle the city.
In the northwest of Bakhmut, units of the 98th Guards Airborne Division repulsed an attack at the Berkhovskoye Reservoir and launched a counteroffensive in the direction of Bogdanovka and Khromovo (Artemovsky).
As a result, Russian paratroopers managed to expand the zone of control around the reservoir (recapture what the Ukrainian Armed Forces had occupied for several months at the cost of hundreds of lives), and also successfully advanced to Khromovo.
Even during the assault on Bakhmut itself by the forces of the Wagner PMC, the village was important for supplying the garrison of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Now the liberation of the settlement will create the preconditions for pressure on the southern outskirts of Bakhmut.
Khromovo is located not far from Krasnoye (Ivanovskoye) - the village from which artillery attackof the positions of the Russian Armed Forces in Kleshcheevka and the surrounding area came. Now, units of the Russian Army will be able to improve their positions at the Bakhmut dachas and in the direction of Krasnoye, attacking from two sides.
Changes in the configuration of the front have already affected the line at Kleshcheevka, where the intensity of the fire has significantly decreased. Probably some of the guns and mortars were pulled away from the front line.
At the moment, fighters of the Russian Armed Forces are systematically knocking out the Ukrainian Armed Forces from the approaches to Kleshcheevka. The village itself is not of significant importance due to its location in the lowlands. The heights to the north and in the direction of Krasny are important, for which the struggle is taking place.
19:29 According to Artemovsky for the evening:
The enemy, as an exception, admitted the loss of part of Khromovo, but claims that he allegedly still sits there somewhere on the outskirts. There is no evidence for this.
On our side, they report not only the complete capture of Khromovo (Artemovsky), but also a significant advance at Bogdanovka (west of Artemovsk) with a gradual advance to the outskirts of the village, which, like Khromovo, could not be taken during the final stages of the battle for Artemovsk.
Judging by the successes at Berkhovka, Khromovo and Bogdanovka, the attacks of our troops turned out to be quite unexpected and painful for the enemy, as a result of which not only were all the fruits of the months-long offensive north-west of Artemovsk lost, but also the positions that the Ukrainian Armed Forces held with such difficulty were lost this spring.
Among the reasons for the success of our troops was the transfer of part of the enemy’s reserves from Artemovsky to Avdeevsky direction, as a result of which our command found a softened section of the enemy’s front and pressed there in a timely manner, which led to good tactical results.
18:40 Drone operators make adjustments to fire artillery in the Artemovsk direction.
The UAV operators discovered the location of the enemy’s fortified area and, after conducting additional reconnaissance, aimed the 152mm Msta-B gun. The positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces militants were destroyed.
17:28 Situation at the Orekhovsky site:
The fighting in the Orekhovsky sector had long since moved into the positional phase. For a long time, Ukrainian formations have not launched major attacks similar to those they carried out in the summer and early autumn with the massive use of armored vehicles.
At the same time, Russian troops are gradually retaking positions near Rabotino and Verbov, lost in previous months. For now, we are not talking about attempting some kind of large counter-offensive, but about occupying more tactically advantageous positions.
Bad weather, which is now observed in several areas at once, has a great influence on the fighting. This limits the use of aircraft and drones, and eroded soil with mud makes it difficult to move equipment. In such conditions, the intensity of military clashes is forced to decrease.
At the same time, the enemy command is transferring the forces that previously operated near Orekhovo to Avdievka: in particular, units of the 116th Mechanized Brigade recently left there. At the moment, the Zaporozhye direction is becoming more and more secondary for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
16:25 Service dog of the Russian Guard discovered large cache of ammunition in the DPR
Thanks to the mine-detecting dog Bayan, more than a thousand rounds of various calibers, six TNT blocks, two RGD-5 grenades and a TM-62 mine, as well as an anti-tank guided missile were found and seized.
The ammunition was discovered during joint reconnaissance and search activities of the Russian Guard special forces and military counterintelligence officers. Most of the arsenal was hidden in a hole near an abandoned barn; a service dog found the ATGM in the thickets nearby.
15:37 According to updated information, the number of victims as a result of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ missile attack on Pologi has increased to two people. Both wounded are women.
14:29 The Ukrainian Armed Forces launched a massive missile attackhitin Pologi, Zaporozhye region.
The private sector of the city was attacked - Tolstoy, Zaporizhskaya, Griboyedov and Osipenko streets. One of the five missiles did not explode. Sappers will work at the scene of its discovery.
A woman was injured as a result of the shooting. She is in serious condition. One house was completely destroyed. Eleven residential properties and outbuildings were damaged.

13:30 Svatovsko-Kremensky section situation as of 13.00 November 29, 2023
In addition to the Kupyansky section, a slight activation of the front is noted to the south in the Svatovo and Kremennaya directions. This zone, in particular Borovaya, is important for the Ukrainian Armed Forces in supplying the group in Kupyansk due to the destruction of crossings through Oskol.
The other day, Russian assault units carried out a daring attack on the strongholds of the 21st Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces east of the village of Terny south of the Zhuravka gully.
As a result of the battle, the Ukrainian formations fled from the position, and reinforcements were sent to help. Several groups of 21st infantry brigade on three infantry fighting vehicles counterattacked, but unsuccessfully, suffering losses in manpower and one infantry fighting vehicle.
In the Svatovsky section, the movement of the Ukrainian Armed Forces was also noted at the Makeevka - Nevskoye line. The enemy expects the Russian army to become more active along the Zhuravka-Makeevka line, which could create problems for the Ukrainian Armed Forces grouping, including near Kupyansk.
Against this background, artillery attack of Russian positions along the LBS intensified from tanks and artillery. Our soldiers captured one of these moments yesterday: a Leopard 1A5 DK was firing east of the village of Vishnevoye when a shell landed on it. As a result, the crew abandoned the vehicle in an open field, which became the first documented loss of tanks of this type in the conflict.
13:15 Artillerymen of the Central Military District destroyed Ukrainian artillery position area in the Krasnolimansky direction
During the counter-battery fight, crews of 152mm towed 2A36 Giatsint-B cannons fired a series of shots at reconnoitered artillery positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Accurate hits hit the area where heavy and medium artillery weapons of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were located, ammunition storage cellars, as well as a delivery and unloading point.
13:05 Situation northwest of the village. Verbovoe:
The artillery work falls silent, but not for long. Daily round-the-clock shooting battles, artillery explosions near and in positions, difficult conditions for paratroopers..
All night the enemy was rolling around his forward positions, possibly transporting ammunition, rotating personnel, or something else.
Incursions by enemy reconnaissance groups still do not stop, our fighters conduct surveillance 24/7 and immediately inflict fire damage upon detection of the enemy
12:37 Statement of Head of the press center of the Center group:
Units of the Center group of troops continue to carry out combat missions of a special military operation in the Krasnolimansk direction.
Army aviation strikes and artillery fire from the Center grouping of troops defeated concentrations of enemy manpower and equipment in the Torskoye and Grigorovka areas. The losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces amounted to 40 military personnel, two pickup trucks
12:27 Kupyansky section situation as of 12.00 November 29, 2023:
Near Kupyansk, military personnel of the “West” group of troops of the Russian Armed Forces, during several weeks of systematic advance deep into the defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, knocked out Ukrainian formations from several landings south and southwest of Liman 1st and entered the village of Sin'kovka.
The settlement can actually be called a stronghold of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the area, despite its small size. The command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces deployed large reserves to defend the village, but Russian fighters managed to gain a foothold.
As a result of the latest battles, the Russian Armed Forces inflicted significant damage on the enemy. According to the interception data, the combined units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces lost one killed and 20 wounded, and 30 were missing, which can be equated to liquidated or captured.
To the east, at the Ivanovka-Kislovka line, positional battles continue without visible changes in the front. But in the vicinity of the abandoned village of Zagoruykovka or Timkovka, Russian troops were able to wedge themselves into the enemy’s defenses.
Despite the absence of any fortified positions, the former settlement is located on a hill where the Ukrainian command built its defense along the Timkovka-Ivanovka-Kislovka line.
Because of this, Ukrainian formations urgently began to transfer reinforcements to strengthen the second defensive line in Podol and Petropavlovka. Also, three unidentified units were transferred from the borders with the Belgorod region to Kupyansk.
12:01 Ivanovo paratroopers captured Ukrainian Armed Forces stronghold north of Artemovsk
Airborne artillery inflicted fire on the defending Ukrainian units, after which assault groups of “winged infantry” entered the battle.
Using small arms fire, RPG-30 and RPG-26, the paratroopers suppressed the resistance of Ukrainian militants, captured a strong point and secured a foothold on it. The personnel of the defending enemy units were destroyed.
11:30 Russian troops are advancing in various directions:
The forest area in the Kupyansky direction is gradually being cleared. Russian troops approached the settlement of Sin'kovka.
North of Bakhmut, we managed to regain control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and enter the village of Khrovoye.
To the south-west of Avdievka in the Severny area, attempts are being made to advance. It was possible to capture a number of Ukrainian positions.
Plus there is some progress at Staromayorsky.
