Russians try to break through to Kurakhove, attempting assaults with military equipment – Ukrainska Pravda's source

The Russian army has advanced close to Kurakhove in Donetsk Oblast and is even making occasional incursions with military equipment. However, the city remains firmly under the control of Ukraine's defence forces, specifically the 46th Separate Airborne Brigade of the Airborne Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Quote from Oleksandr: "The enemy is trying to capture high ground, gain fire control over the roads leading to Kurakhove, break through the defences and reach the outskirts of the city. 

They are heavily attacking the city, using guided bombs and artillery.  The defence forces are successfully holding back the enemy's offensive, inflicting losses on their personnel and equipment. Kurakhove remains fully under defence forces control."

Details: A well-informed Ukrainska Pravda's source on the Kurakhove front said that Russian forces attempted to enter the eastern outskirts of Kurakhove with several pieces of equipment but were successfully hit by the defence forces on the morning of 11 November.

Background: On 10 November, 154 combat engagements took place along the front, including 46 on the Kurakhove front and 35 on the Pokrovsk front.
