The threat of new strikes and the use of attack drones remains, in particular, from the territory of the Republic of Belarus.

The occupiers continued to forcibly relocate the civilian population in the temporarily occupied territories of the Kherson region. The enemy is resorting to intimidation of civilian residents, spreading information about the possible undermining of the Kakhovska HPP dam. At the same time, the local population is deprived of means of communication.
The Russian occupation administration of Kherson was moved to the city of Skadovsk.
The occupying command is trying to compensate for the constant loss of personnel in enemy units that take direct part in hostilities on the territory of Ukraine with mobilized servicemen. With those who refuse to participate in combat operations, the so-called "work" is carried out by the employees of the FSB of the Russian Federation.
According to updated information, the destruction of the enemy's ammunition depots in the Zaporizhzhia region was confirmed on October 29. In addition, 5 military equipment units were destroyed due to fire damage to the concentration areas of the Russian occupiers. Losses of personnel are up to 30 eliminated and about 100 wounded.
During the current day, the aviation of the Defense Forces of Ukraine carried out 22 strikes. 19 areas of weapons and military equipment concentration, as well as 3 positions of the enemy's anti-aircraft missile systems, were affected. Our air defense units shot down two Orlan-10 UAVs and six Shahed-136 attack drones in different directions.
Units of missile troops and artillery hit two areas of concentration of manpower, weapons and military equipment, an ammunition warehouse and four other important military objects of the enemy during the day.
Glory to Ukraine!
