The two-hundred-forty-ninth (249) day of the heroic resistance of the Ukrainian people to a Russian military large-scale invasion continues.

The enemy is trying to hold the temporarily captured territories, and concentrates efforts on restraining the actions of the Defense Forces in certain directions, while at the same time not stopping offensive operations in the Bakhmut and Avdiivka directions.

The enemy continues shelling units of the Defense Forces along the contact line, carries out fortification equipment of the lines in separate directions, and conducts aerial reconnaissance. Strikes critical infrastructure and civilian homes, violating international humanitarian law, laws, and customs of war.

During the current day, the enemy launched 3 missiles and 1 air strike, carried out more than 30 MLRS attacks from rocket salvo systems.

Enemy attacks hit areas of more than 15 settlements. Among them are Kupyansk in the Kharkiv oblast and Berezneguvate and Ochakiv in the Mykolaiv region.

The situation in the Volyn and Polissya directions has not changed significantly. The Republic of Belarus continues to support the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine. The Russian federation continues the transfer of individual units to the territory of the Republic of Belarus. The threat of missile strikes and the use of attack UAVs from the territory and airspace of this country remains.

The enemy shelled in other directions:

• in the Slobozhansk direction - from tanks, mortars, barrel and jet artillery, in the areas of Veterynarne, Dvorichna, Starytsa, Strilecha and Chuhunivka settlements of the Kharkiv region;

About 20 settlements along the contact line were affected by fire in the South Bug direction.

The occupation authorities of the temporarily occupied territory of the Kherson region are trying to create conditions unsuitable for the local civilian population in the controlled territory. Thus, in Nova Kakhovka, since October 29 of this year, access to the Internet has been turned off and, through loudspeakers, they are spreading information about the need to leave the region within 48 hours due to the threat of allegedly missile strikes by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Medical personnel of local hospitals and operational services of the city are subject to priority so-called "evacuation". In addition, the occupation authorities issued a decree obliging entrepreneurs to sell off all food products and close shops and markets from November 1, 2022.

According to available information, the enemy is taking preparatory measures to withdraw artillery units from the right-bank part of the Kherson region, with their subsequent possible transfer to other directions.

During the day, the aviation of the Defense Forces struck the enemy 5 times: 1 - on the area of ​​concentration of weapons and military equipment, 2 - on platoon strongholds, as well as 2 - on the positions of the enemy's air defense complexes.

Units of missile troops and artillery hit one control point of the кussian occupiers today.

Glory to Ukraine!
