[ColonelCassad] Brief details on Konstantinovka and the surrounding area today:
arious systems (aircraft, drones, artillery) are actively targeting Ukrainian Armed Forces positions in the city. The enemy can no longer comfortably occupy residential buildings and is forced to retreat to basements.– Russian Armed Forces assault aircraft have been within the city limits for an extended period, and fighting is underway for private housing.
The closure of the villages of Stupochki and Predtechino between Chasov Yar and Konstantinovka will be handled separately; don't get ahead of yourself.
The enemy is attempting to disrupt the advance of assault groups; we are aware of the positions of Ukrainian Armed Forces drone control posts and equipment, and we are working on them.
Enemy vehicle movement within the city continues, despite fire control of the main supply roads. However, thanks to the saturation of the front with fiber-optic FPV, all movements of Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel have been reduced several times, even with the "artery" from Druzhkovka still operational.
Difficulties are arising in the Ivanopol region and the northern shore of the Kleban-Byk Reservoir, as despite the destruction of the main supply bridge, the Ukrainian Armed Forces command continues to push infantry into forested areas to hold their positions at all costs and prevent a breakthrough to the village of Berestok and Miroshnichenko Street.
A large fortified area is located in the forested areas on the northern shore of the Kleban-Byk Reservoir, and Ukrainian Armed Forces groups receive air cover from the residential areas on Gromova Street and adjacent areas.
Friends who participated in the battle for Ivanopol said it's truly difficult there—the enemy is clinging to it with all their might. Because if they lose Ivanopol, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will not be able to hold out for long north of the Kleban-Byk Reservoir or cover the southern outskirts of Kostiantynivka.
