The occupiers have intensified filtration and counter-sabotage measures in the temporarily occupied territories of the Kherson region. For example, Russian occupation forces have restricted entry and exit from the settlement of Ulyanivka, conducting searches among local residents and checking their mobile phones.
In Donetsk, the number of cases of particularly dangerous infections among the military personnel of the Russian occupation forces and mercenaries of the so-called PMC Wagner has surged. This may be due to the lack of proper sanitary and hygienic conditions in the locations of adversary units.
On January 31, the Ukrainian Air Force launched 9 air strikes on the concentrations of manpower, weapons, and military equipment of the enemy and 2 air strikes on the positions of anti-aircraft missile systems.
On the day of January 31, the missile and artillery units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces struck 9 concentrations of enemy manpower and 1 ammunition depot.
