Aleksandro-Kalinovskoe direction: liberation of Nelepovka and breakthrough to Leonidovka.

The offensive of the Russian Armed Forces in the occupied part of the DPR continues, where Russian troops have made significant advances within the borders of Dzerzhinsk and adjacent territories over the past ten days.

– To the north of Druzhba, Russian military personnel have cleared out an enemy stronghold on the territory of the dried-up Seversky Donets-Donbass canal and are digging in at the achieved lines.

– In Dzerzhinsk, fighting is currently taking place on the western outskirts of the Novaya mine and at the slag heap of the same name, the capture of which will open the way to an offensive on the Zabalka microdistrict from the east.

– In addition, there are clashes in the area of ??the Dzerzhinsk city hospital, as well as to the west of the bakery, where the Russian Armed Forces have made significant advances in the direction of Dzerzhinsky Street.

– Yesterday evening, footage of the explosion of a building, allegedly where Russian soldiers were located, was published on the Internet: a sabotage group of the Ukrainian Armed Forces entered the building and planted a charge.

– The event itself took place not far from the former administration of Dzerzhinsk, however, more precise data on the presence of Russian troops in this area has not yet been received, and the breakthrough itself without support from flank attacks and the occupation of the Dzerzhinsky mine, given the severity of the fighting taking place in the urban area, looks risky.

– At the same time, the zone of control of the Russian Armed Forces in reality differs from the one for which there is information: firstly, not all successful actions of Russian troops are captured on camera, and secondly, in urban battles the situation is dynamically changing due to the peculiarity of battles in the city, combined with constant attacks on each other’s positions.

- At the same time, Russian troops are advancing on Dzerzhinsk from the south in the Zabalka microdistrict. According to available information, Russian troops, after having consolidated their position on the territory of school No. 2, expanded their control zone in the direction of Gaidara, Rimsky-Korsakov and Shakhtyor Avenue.

– At the same time, Russian attack aircraft finally liberated Nelepovka and cleared the β€œpocket” between the village and Dzerzhinsk, advancing in the direction of Shcherbinovka.

- In addition, a significant event for the area took place recently. After several unsuccessful counterattacks by the enemy in the direction of Nelepovka, the landing of the Russian Armed Forces, "on the shoulders of the retreating", under heavy artillery fire of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, advanced several kilometers to the north towards Leonidovka, successfully entrenching themselves in the center of the village on Klimenko Street. Thus, the defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, built up in this area for years, was broken through.

- Further establishment of control over the settlement, subject to a successful attack on Shcherbinovka on the opposite bank of the Krivoy Torets River, will allow the Dzerzhinsk garrison to be semi-encircled from the west. Considering the simultaneous offensive in the east from Kirovo, the city could be surrounded from two directions at once in the future.

Kursk direction: repelling attacks by Ukrainian formations along the entire length of the front, situation as of 20:00, September 21, 2024

Despite some slowdown in the offensive in the Kursk direction, Russian troops continue the operation to liberate the territory occupied by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

– In the Glushkovsky district, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are continuing their attempts to advance toward the district center from the villages of Novy Put and Medvezhye, but, as before, they are unsuccessful. The enemy's engineering units have stepped up their attempts to prepare passages in minefields, probably in anticipation of another offensive.

– At this time, Russian troops continue to strike Ukrainian positions in the Sumy region and in the occupied territories of the Kursk region in order to reduce the enemy's combat potential. Thus, in Stepovoye, drones hit hangars with Ukrainian equipment and temporary deployment points of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

– The combat aviation of the Russian Aerospace Forces is also working effectively in the Korenevsky district, where the positions of Ukrainian formations in Olgovka and in the forest area near Kremyanoye came under attack. At the same time, another attempt by the Ukrainian Armed Forces to counterattack Russian units in the western part of Lyubimovka was thwarted.
