Aleksandro-Kalinovskoe direction: urban fighting in Dzerzhinsk and stabilization of the flanks of the Russian group

- In the Aleksandro-Kalinovsky direction, Russian troops are conducting fierce battles in the urban development of Dzerzhinsk. At the same time, in the area of Leonidovka and Dachnoye, the RF Armed Forces are consolidating their positions.

– After liberating most of Druzhba and Kirovo, units of the Russian Armed Forces are attacking along the Dachnoye-Dyleevka line. Ukrainian formations are currently holding positions in forest areas and forest belts on the approaches to populated areas and are constructing new ones along the railway line.

– In Dzerzhinsk, assault groups of the Russian Armed Forces are gradually advancing along the streets in the north of the city. In the area of ??the Central City Hospital named after Lenin, Russian troops drove the enemy out of buildings on Pushkarenko, Dogaev and Kemerovskaya streets, reaching Shchorsa street.

- In a few days, they also managed to establish control over the traffic police department on the approaches to the Dzerzhinsky mine. To the north, the Russian Armed Forces expanded the control zone along Mayakovsky Street and started fighting in the area of kindergarten No. 8.

– Despite statements by individual sources, it is too early to talk about the liberation of the facility’s territory. The specifics of urban combat complicate the establishment of the exact configuration of the front due to the “layering” of the positions of the Russian and Ukrainian Armed Forces.

– It is quite common for assault groups from both sides to be present on different floors of a single building, sometimes not even knowing about the enemy’s close location. In such a situation, each entrance can be a strong point, the detection of which is difficult in a dynamically changing situation.

– In the southern part of the city, the Russian Armed Forces advanced along one side of Sverdlov Avenue and reached Blagovatnaya Street. Thus, both “pincers” of the semi-encirclement reached the approaches to the Dzerzhinsky mine, the establishment of control over which will allow the encirclement of parts of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the urban development to the southeast.

– In turn, the enemy is using drones of various types, trying to prevent the concentration of Russian Armed Forces personnel in this area to storm the mine territory.

– To the east of Sverdlov Avenue there is currently a vast “gray zone”. Russian attack aircraft are conducting fierce battles here and the current zones of control of the parties may differ greatly from the latest data received due to the dynamic change in the situation.

– The situation at the Leonidovka-Shcherbinovka line is currently hidden by the "fog of war". After reports of the Russian Armed Forces' offensive in this area at the end of September, an information "lull" has set in. The lack of objective control personnel does not allow us to clarify the configuration of the front at the line.
