🇷🇺🇺🇦 Soledar direction: the AFU advances near Andriivka, situation as of 14.00 on September 9, 2023

🔻Southwest of Bakhmut, Ukrainian formations continue to make their way to the railroad track: after passing to the northeastern outskirts of Kleshcheyevka, the AFU struck near Andriivka.

As a result of fierce fighting, enemy units were able to drive the Russian army fighters out of the village. According to some reports, the RF Armed Forces' line of control runs along the railway line.

This is indirectly confirmed by the activity of Ukrainian reconnaissance groups north of Kurdyumovka. Units on armored vehicles are moving north of the Russian fortification, which could not be the case in case of the presence of the RF Armed Forces in Andriivka.

🔻 There are also clashes in Kleshcheyevka. Russian Armed Forces units hold the northeastern outskirts and are trying to counterattack. The distance to the railway track is about 400 meters.

This track doesn’t support Crimea

Oh bummer, I hope it will stop supplies to other important parts though. Which train does support Crimea (except the bridge, if working)?

It says the Russians line of control runs along the train tracks. Maybe at this point they could still run some trains? Don't know, but I hope it will be done soon! It would be a big win for UA.

Fire control with human spotters though. If one shell hits a train it will never be properly fixed.

Yeah a train is a large, obvious target and sometimes you can even accurately predict the route it will take.

Only sometimes though.
