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

19:35 The situation in the village of Kleshcheevka in the Artemovsk direction from military correspondent Alexander Kots.

Last night, the enemy east of Kleshcheevka crossed the railway line in one area and began to gain a foothold.

From night on there was a battle all day long. I just received a message from a friend: “Recaptured.”

The enemy was again thrown back behind the iron.

18:25 The Russian Armed Forces launched a high-precision hit at the joint warehouse of weapons and ammunition of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kherson region.

As a result of the defeat and subsequent detonation in Kiselevka, 12 hangars were destroyed, in which more than 3,000 tons of ammunition of various calibers were stored.

The enemy fired from their positions located in the area of the settlement. Dobropolye, from the HIMARS MLRS using M-31 missiles (fragmentation).

17:10 Soledar direction situation as of 17.00 September 26, 2023

In Bakhmut, the situation remains practically without any significant changes - there is a positional struggle with the mutual use of weapons, from artillery and aviation to FPV drones.

According to many channels, Russian paratroopers carried out a successful attack on enemy positions in the Orekhovo-Vasil'evka area. To date, there is no detailed information about the assault, so for now the events there remain in the “fog of war.”

On the southern flank, the front line at the Kleshcheevka-Andreevka-Kurdyumovka line is also without significant changes. From time to time, the Ukrainian Armed Forces try to attack Russian positions in small groups, but to no avail.

However, now in the rear areas in the Bakhmut direction there is a concentration of Ukrainian Armed Forces units. If you look at the areas where they are concentrated, possible directions of attack emerge: Razdolovka and Lisichansk, as well as Zaitsevo - Kodema.

Moreover, the main task is to cover Bakhmut, and attacks on Lisichansk and Kodema are highly likely to be distracting. There is no particular tactical meaning for the Ukrainian Armed Forces in such an offensive, but it has great symbolic significance.

Therefore, the attack on Bakhmut should be considered in the context of planning a large-scale operation in the south, where an escalation in the Soledar, as well as the Belgorod or Bryansk directions will be intended to pin down the Russian Armed Forces.

16:59 It’s loud in Berdyansk. Residents of the city heard loud explosions.

According to preliminary data, our air defense successfully worked against an enemy missile that Ukrainian Armed Forces militants fired at a peaceful city. The rocket was shot down on the outskirts of the city. Information about casualties and damage is being clarified.

16:35 Destruction of tank of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Zaporozhye direction. Verbovoe. 1620 hrs 26.09

During the next unsuccessful offensive attempt, the enemy deployed a smoke screen in the hope that this would protect his armored vehicles from the eyes of the ATGM and artillery.

Having determined the exact coordinates, fire was opened on the Ukrainian Armed Forces tanks. The result is that at least two destroyed Ukrainian Armed Forces tanks were left to burn out in the field.

16:24 The Ukrainian Armed Forces are transferring forces from the Khar'kov region.

According to “Come and See”, in the morning a Ukrainian column left Kharkov in the direction of Dnepropetrovsk.

Her movements were recorded by observers not only in the city, but also in the region.

“A column with armored vehicles, including Western ones,” notes the channel’s source.

According to him, most likely, the equipment will be transferred to the Zaporozhye direction.

15:25 During the 3.5 months of the “offensive”, the Ukrainian Armed Forces cannot take 16 houses in Pyatikhatki,told soldiers of the RF Armed Forces to RT military correspondent Stanislav Obishchenko.

Here and in the area of the village of Rabotino, they are ground up from 152mm D-20 howitzers by Russian artillerymen - mobilized and volunteers from North Ossetia and Moscow. The main targets for strikes are enemy support forces, ammunition depots and personnel.

According to the fighters, previously the Ukrainian military tried to storm our positions, but now they move only in small groups, which the Russian Armed Forces immediately work on.

“They are trying to move forward, they understand that it is very painful, these are big losses, because [we have] a concentration of artillery, the number of rounds is so large that [they] no longer have the desire,” noted a military man with the call sign Beard.

14:27 Destruction of crossings over Oskol in Kupyansk

Russian pilots launched a strike with an X-38 guided missile at the Ukrainian Armed Forces crossing the Oskol River in Kupyansk. The hit was right on target, and the bridge collapsed.

The missile hit the southern part of the bridge, and one span is missing in the northern part. Consequently, supplying the group near Kupyansk through this crossing is currently impossible.

Repair or restoration will take time, so enemy units east of Kupyansk may have certain problems replenishing supplies and rotating personnel.

Russian air strikes on crossings are one of the most important tasks in preparation for an offensive. Cutting off supplies will affect the enemy’s defense, and no matter how powerful the fortified area is, without logistics it will be difficult to hold it.

14:00 They report the “arrival” of the DPR in Kramatorsk (occupied by the Ukrainian Armed Forces)

The blow fell on the territory of NKMZ - Novokramatorsky Machine-Building Plant - closer to the former carriage depot. Two tracked self-propelled guns with ammunition were destroyed; there is currently no information about manpower losses, Militarist reports.

There were also two “arrivals” from the Ukrainian air defense - in the area of the bridge on Yasnogorka (50-70 meters from the bridge near the railway track) and Shpichkino station without civilian casualties. Near the bridge, an anti-aircraft guided missile entered the ground and “triggered” 20-30 minutes after it fell.

13:30 In the Kupyansk direction, the zone of control near Sin'kovka and Petropavlovka has been significantly expanded thanks to the courage of the 25th and 138th Brigades - Shoigu

12:37 Ukrainian militants fired two rockets from MLRS at Donetsk - representative office of the JCCC DPR.

In his near rear in Prechistovo you can regularly observe the movement of units, but they do not go further than the southern outskirts of the settlement and forest belts in this area, they are trying to restore defensive positions, which are regularly “invigorated” by our artillery.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine show a little more activity between Urozhainy and Novodonetsk, but this is also suppressed by artillery work. The enemy does not use large forces; there is only movement of small groups through forest belts.
