📋🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Two Majors #Summary for the Morning of 4 July 2024; pub. 06:59📍

🎯 The RFAF yesterday struck the Southern Machine-Building Plant in Dnepropetrovsk. The objective control footage showed precise attacks on the facility, with the video showing the moment when the missile exploded directly above the facility, which again points to the ineffective work of the AFU's air defences. 🎬👇 Local reports say that there was another attack west of the plant, apparently on the territory of the old railway base.

🔹In the #Kharkov direction, yesterday it was reported that enemy attacks were repelled near #Volchansk and north of #Liptsy. According to estimates from the field, the enemy is not able to accumulate enough forces to go on the offensive due to the work of our long range weapons.

🔹In the #Svatovo-#Kupyansk front section, there are reports of the RFAF intensifying their actions near the village of Stepovaya Novoselovka. There are reports of our troops advancing at #Stelmakhovka and #Makeyevka (#LPR).

🔹In In the area of #Toretsk (#Dzerzhinsk), the Russian Army is making significant progress. Our troops broke through the AFU defence near Nyu-York (#Novgorodskoye) to a depth of up to 3 km and occupied part of #Yuryevka. The assault on #Yuzhnoye (#Pivdennoye) is continuing. In addition, the RFAF have entrenched themselves on the outskirts of #Druzhba. The #Toretsk agglomeration is almost continuous urbanised terrain, but despite the dense construction, the surprise of the enemy's individual manoeuvres caused the sprinkling of the front edge of the AFU defence. The fighting continues.

🔹West of #Avdeyevka, the RFAF are attacking at the #Nevelskoye - #Netaylovo line, the AFU are preparing for the surrender of #Karlovka, withdrawing the most combat-ready units from #Karlovka in the hope of preserving them, while leaving motorised infantry for rearguard fighting to slow down the advance of our troops.

🔹On the #Zaporozhye front, the RFAF went on the offensive in the area of #Shcherbaki - #Nesteryanka, advanced to a depth of up to half a km, three enemy strongholds were taken, our heavy flamethrower systems are actively working. The AFU attacked the Raduga Substation in #Energodar with drones, the power supply to the city and the NPP was disrupted. 8 employees of the #ZNPP were injured. "The situation with the power supply of the city is quite difficult", - reports the Governor.

🔹In the #Kherson direction, some sources reported a gun battle near the railway bridge. FPV drones attacked a bakery in #Alyoshki, while the AFU UAV operators struck again at the workers of the enterprise who were extinguishing the fire. Two workers have been killed and one female employee was wounded.
