[Korrespondent] The enemy began actively carrying out cleanup operations, and some Ukrainian positions were simply destroyed by artillery and drones.
Russian occupation forces have established a bridgehead near Myrne, Perebudova, and Komar in the Donetsk region. This was reported by the DeepState project on the evening of Tuesday, October 14.
It was noted that some positions in the Komar area were lost. Logistical and fortification issues significantly complicated the situation, but due to the enemy's shift in focus to other areas of the front, these positions were held for some time.
Experts point out that the situation has worsened in recent weeks due to the intensification of enemy cleansing operations, which has led to the gradual loss of fortifications.
Some positions were destroyed by artillery and drone attacks. All the fighters were wounded, and some were forced to evacuate themselves, DeepState added.
Analysts also published a map depicting lost positions. It notes that the objectives have been under enemy control for several days. At the same time, they emphasize the diminishing role of OSINT data in determining the battle lines in 2025, due to the emergence of so-called "flag-pointing" on both sides of the conflict. Most battle maps have long shown these territories as lost.
There is currently no official information regarding the DeepState project.
