CrimeaPRESS reports:
Avdeevka. The Russian Armed Forces continue to advance to Novokalinovo, north of the settlement. Avdeevka. According to our data, Russian forces managed to advance north almost to the intersection of Stepova and Pershotravneva streets (route O0544). West of Avdeevka, the Russian Armed Forces are developing success in Semyonovka, but the village has not yet been liberated, the battle is in the central part of the development. Battles near Netailovo, Umansky, Berdychi, Novokalinovo.
The situation in the Berdychi-Semyonovka section, where the Russian Armed Forces are also advancing, has become somewhat clearer. Most of Semenovka came under the control of Russian forces, but the enemy presence remains on the northern outskirts.
In addition, the western part of Berdychi is under enemy control. Apparently, the assault groups of the Russian Armed Forces that reached the outskirts were forced to roll back behind the reservoir due to difficulties with supplies and counterattacks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from Kazberova Street and the ruins of the agricultural airport.
The problem was the destruction of the dams through which communications went to Berdychi. In fact, from the eastern to the western outskirts and vice versa, you can only go on foot or extremely slowly by vehicle, which is obviously very difficult in a combat situation.
Apparently, this is precisely what is connected with the intensification of attacks in fields and plantings north of the populated area, where there is a very difficult mine situation.
Avdeevka. Situation as of 04/16/24.
