Brief Frontline Report – January 31st, 2026

Brief Frontline Report – January 31st, 2026
Summary by Marat Khairullin and Mikhail Popov.
Part 3:
Message from the Russian Ministry of Defense: "Combat drone strikes in the area of Sinelnikovo station have damaged electric train cars, freight cars, locomotives, tracks, power grids, administrative and production buildings. There are no casualties.
As a result of the strike, railway traffic between Zaporozhye and Dnepropetrovsk has been halted. "
To support the ongoing offensive operations being conducted by the Russian Armed Forces groupings "South," "Center," "East," and "Dnepr" along the entire line of contact, missile, aviation, and heavy UAV strikes are being delivered into the operational depth of the enemy's defense against key transport areas (Lozovaya - Pavlograd - Sinelnikovo - Zaporozhye - Dnepropetrovsk). Cutting off power supply is not a struggle against the population. It is the deprivation of electricity to defense enterprises, including railway traction substations. In transport hubs, infrastructure and rolling stock are being destroyed. A hunt is underway for automotive transport on the main radial highways connecting transport hubs with front-line supply routes.
Read this report and many others on Marat Khairullin's Substack! That's where I post the high-definition maps, and frankly, the formatting on Substack makes the reports easier to follow. Any questions for Marat and Mikhail will be answered there.
