"As a result of successful actions by Battlegroup Tsentr, the city of Selydovo in the Donetsk People's Republic has been completely liberated," the ministry said in a statement.Russian forces initially nearly encircled this city of 24,000, securing positions in the southern and eastern areas, pushing Ukrainian forces into the center. Intense street fighting then took place in high-rise areas.Earlier on Tuesday, it was reported that the army had liberated three more settlements in the DPR - Katerinovka, Dobrovolye, and Gornyak. The latter, in particular, includes an important railway line that supplies a significant portion of Ukrainian forces in the Donbass. Additionally, the area has several large coal mines. The liberation of Gornyak will deal a serious blow to Ukraine's coal industry.A key city for Kiev in this part of the DPR is Pokrovsk (formerly Krasnoarmeysk), an important logistics hub through which supplies are routed to forces from the Zaporozhye direction.

Russian Forces Liberate Strategically Important City of Selidovo in Donetsk Region
10:26 GMT 29.10.2024 (Updated: 11:06 GMT 29.10.2024) MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The Russian armed forces have taken control of the city of Selydovo in the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), the Russian Defense Ministry said on Tuesday.
"As a result of successful actions by Battlegroup Tsentr, the city of Selydovo in the Donetsk People's Republic has been completely liberated," the ministry said in a statement.
Selidovo is a town located on the Selidovo-Novogrodovka-Grodovka line, through which the Russian troops will have access to Pokrovsk, one of the largest and most strategically important for the enemy in the west of the DPR. In addition, the army will be able to conduct an offensive to the rear of the Kurakhovka grouping of the Ukrainian armed forces.
Russian forces initially nearly encircled this city of 24,000, securing positions in the southern and eastern areas, pushing Ukrainian forces into the center. Intense street fighting then took place in high-rise areas.
Earlier on Tuesday, it was reported that the army had liberated three more settlements in the DPR - Katerinovka, Dobrovolye, and Gornyak. The latter, in particular, includes an important railway line that supplies a significant portion of Ukrainian forces in the Donbass. Additionally, the area has several large coal mines. The liberation of Gornyak will deal a serious blow to Ukraine's coal industry.
A key city for Kiev in this part of the DPR is Pokrovsk (formerly Krasnoarmeysk), an important logistics hub through which supplies are routed to forces from the Zaporozhye direction.
