📋🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️ Two Majors #Summary for the Morning of 31 July 2024; 06:44 (GMT+3)📍

🎯 At night, Geranium attack UAVs were operating in the rear areas. Enemy resources counted up to 45 of our drones. Explosions were reported from #Mirgorod, #Svetlovodsk and #Kremenchug in the #Poltava region, Chuguyev district in the #Kharkov region, #Voznesensk in the #Nikolayev region, the city of #Sumy, as well as from the #Dnepropetrovsk, #Zhitomir, #Kiev regions (#Kiev, #Brovary, #Irpen, #Bila Tserkva). The peculiarity of today's strikes, which lasted all night, was the dense work of our UAVs in the enemy's capital region.

🛡Over the #Bryansk region, an enemy UAV was destroyed at night. In the #Kursk region, after missile attack, a fire broke out at one of the facilities, which was extinguished after several hours. Our monitoring channels reported air defence operations in several other regions.

🔹In #Kharkov direction, fights continue in #Volchansk, near #Staritsa and #Glubokoye. The enemy is building up reserves, and one of his possible plans could be an attempt to cut off our grouping along the borderline. The North Group assesses that the enemy attempt to create favourable conditions for a large scale counteroffensive. The RFAF are striking enemy concentrations with FAB-1500 and FAB-3000, as well as with artillery.

🔹North of #ChasovYar, due to the RFAF offensive, the AFU transferred additional reserves to stop our advance.

🔹From the #Toretsk area, our troops report successes in #Yuzhnoye, and we are stepping up in #Kirovo and #Zaliznoye. According to enemy estimates, the RFAF have advanced in a wide up to 4 km and depth of 1 km in #Zaliznoye town and #Kirovo village. In #NyuYork there were oncoming battles.

🔹West of #Avdeyevka, the Russian Army is maintaining a high intensity of offensive actions. Fighting is taking place on the front ledge near the village of #Veseloye, our units operate in the village itself, as well as on the southern part of the ledge, extending the zone of control towards #Zhelannoye and #Sergeyevka. To the south, near the Karlovskoye Reservoir, the RFAF are burning out enemy positions. The AFU have transferred reinforcements in the hope to stabilise the front.

🔹From #Krasnogorovka (#SouthDonetsk direction), reports that the RFAF have success in the northwestern main thrust. Earlier, heavy flamethrower systems were working on the remaining enemy forces. 🎬👇Nevertheless, it is too early to report about the full capture of the town, fights are ongoing, although the situation of the AFU recently has been assessed as critical, even in conditions of dense work of enemy FPV drones.

🔹On the #Zaporozhye front, northwest of #Verbovoye and north of #Rabotino, positional battles are ongoing. The LoC is without significant changes. In the area of #Orekhov and Malaya Tokmachka, our aviation struck at the AFU's clusters of manpower and shelters, using FAB-500s with UMPC.

🔹In #Kherson direction, both sides are conducting actions in the island zone of the #Dnieper floodplain, drone strikes and artillery. Yesterday morning it was reported that the AFU shelled the residential sector of Malye Kopani village in Golopristansky district, a child born in 2008 received multiple shrapnel wounds.

💥In #Belgorod region, the AFU hit #Shebekino, #Terezovka and #Voznesenovka in the Shebekino urban district, the Tserkovny Farm and #Pokrovka in the Belgorod district.

💥In #Kursk region, #Krasnooktyabrsky and #Politotdelsky, Glushkovsky district, were shelled. Drone attacks were noted near the town of #Lgov, the village of #Gordeyevka in the Korenevsky District and the village of Kobylki in the Glushkovsky district.

💥In the #DPR, in #Gorlovka, a tram carriage was attacked by a kamikaze UAV, killing the driver, a man born in 1999, and the passengers, women born in 1957 and 1973, were injured. On route bus No. 101, a teenage girl born in 2007 was injured. In #Gorlovka, a woman born in 1961 was wounded by enemy shelling using cluster artillery.
