Yes I posted it but no worries, it deserves a wider audience.

In addition to the ammo dump in previous post, Gerans struck a hotel used by foreign mercenaries in Kharkhiv.
Gerans also attacked the Poltava region, aimed to take out the Krememchug oil refinery that supplies fuel to the AFU.
FABs hit a bridge in the Kupyan front. No way this bridge can be repaired, it was blasted on both ends. Bridge is used by the AFU to supply forces in that front,
Ukrainian deployment points in the Kupyan front gets hit with FABs.
Destroyed Ukrainian recon vehicle 'Kashalot'.
Four FABs with UMPCs strike Ukrainian positions in Novomikhailovka.
A couple of FABs hitting AFU facilities in the village of Olgovka in Kherson.
Lancet takes out an FH-70 howitzer in the Artemovosk region.
Five hits on critical infrastructure facilities were reported on Lyiv caused by Geran strikes.
FPV drone attacks on AFU tanks and vehicles, including from the Sudoplatov Battalion. They appear to include two T-64BV and a T-72M in Zaporozhye.
Tank of the AFU 80th Brigade in Kleeshevka gets knocked out by ATGM.
2S1 Gvozdika taken out by Lancet in South Donetsk, this by the 40th Marines Brigade.
Ukrainian howitzer in Zaporozhye taken out by Lancet.

Hardly surprising in the context where the other side sees your every move in real time and is able to lay down its artillery upon you with precision. Applies to both sides.
Avdiivka is extremely well defended. It is a town on highground fortified over the years, while staffed by some of the best soldiers in Ukraine. I expect Russians to not crack it any time soon. The difficulty is above Bakhmut.
At the same time Russians must take it at some point. It is the only way to secure Donbass city from shelling, that is a primary objective of the war. It is understandable Russians want to crack this fort at some point, but why now is rather baffling. Yes they managed to shut down the railway, but supply routes are still open unlike Bakhmut.
They had a whole year to prepare so they must have expected some chance of success. In my opinion unless Russian can cut off the supply they are not going to take it by brute force.
Clearly anything that moves in these mined fields are just easy meals... it's all you can eat style of buffet.
It will end when one side will have no more depth in his hands.
New Russian spotting drone? This is reading off the engine thermal signatures brightly. A Ukrainian armored column is spotted then picked off one by one by MSTA-S.
Compilation of footage from an ATGM user recently awarded the Hero of Russia, with 26 vehicular kills in the Artemovosk area.
Russian ATGM hit on a Ukrainian APC by the VDV.
TOS are highly priority targets of the AFU and it's easy to see why. Here a TOS does it's work against Ukrainian positions in Ugledar.
T-72B3 fires and hits a Ukrainian electronic post, communication or electronic warfare maybe.

A WWI tactic
Tunnelling up to and under the Ukrainian trenches before setting off charges
Original Idea dates back to siege tactics against castles, though back then instead of explosives they used flaming greased pigs to spread a fire under the foundations. So one could say the Russians are using medieval tactics.

Keep the Ukranians on their toes and prevent them from fortifying position further back after their failed offensives. Unlike Bakmuth, Avdiivka doesn't have a Chasiv Yar behind it and while Avdiivka itself was heavily fortified, the Ukranians didn't build aditional defensive lines behind it so they are probably trying to take advantage of the current disarray after the loss of equipment
