The two-hundred-fifty-fourth (254) day of the heroic resistance of the Ukrainian people to a Russian military large-scale invasion continues.

The enemy is trying to keep the temporarily captured territories, and concentrates efforts on restraining the actions of the Defense Forces in certain areas. Conducts offensive actions in the Bakhmut, Avdiivka and Novopavlivka directions.

The enemy is shelling units of the Defensive Forces along the contact line, carrying out border fortification equipment in separate directions and conducting aerial reconnaissance. It continues to strike critical infrastructure and civilian homes in violation of International Humanitarian Law, the laws and customs of war.

During the day, the Russian occupiers launched 3 missiles and 5 air strikes, carried out 2 MLRS. The settlements of Lviv, Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk, and Zaporizhzhia regions were affected by these criminal actions. The threat of new strikes and the use of attack UAVs remains; such actions are also possible from the territory of the Republic of Belarus.

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 enemy shelled in other directions:

• in the Siversk direction - from mortars, in the Tymonovychi district of the Chernihiv region;
• in the Slobozhanskyi direction - from mortars and barrel artillery, in the areas of the settlements of Ambarne, Bolohivka, Stelmakhivka, Vovchanski Khutory, Hlyboke, Dvorichna, Zelene, Hatyshche and Chuhunivka;
• in the Kupyansk and Lyman directions - from artillery of various types, in the areas of the settlements of Novoyehorivka, Siversk, Verkhnyokamianske, Vedmezhe and Bilohorivka;
• in the Bakhmut direction - from mortars, barrel and rocket artillery, in the areas of Bilohorivka, Bakhmut, Andriivka, Klishchiivka, and Ivanhrad;
• in the Avdiivka direction - from tanks and the entire range of artillery in the areas of Avdiivka, Maryinka, Novomykhailivka and Paraskoviivka settlements;

• in the Zaporizhzhia direction - from mortars, barrels, and rocket artillery in the districts of Poltavka, Hulyaipole, Zaliznychne, Hulyaipilske, Dorozhnyanka, Novoandriivka and Olhivske.

Areas of settlements bordering the contact line were damaged by fire in the South Buh direction. The settlements of Tryfonivka, Kherson oblast, and Nikopol were directly affected by the fire of Russian rockets and barrel artillery.

Occupiers continue to die in Ukraine. The information regarding the enemy's losses due to fire damage to the administrative building in Hola Prystan, Kherson oblast, has been confirmed. According to available information, 18 Russian invaders were killed and 2 wounded.

Also, on November 2, in the area of ​​the city of Enerhodar, Zaporizhzhia oblast, an anti-aircraft missile complex S-300 and a truck with ammunition were destroyed, and about 20 enemy servicemen were wounded of various degrees of severity.

On November 3, in the city of Melitopol, fire damage was inflicted on the enemy's control point located in the building of the industrial zone. As a result, about 50 invaders were wounded, and up to 10 pieces of military equipment were destroyed. In addition, about 80 units of military equipment of various types, which the enemy placed in hangars, were damaged.

According to the available information, in settlement of Kamianka, Zaporizhzhia region, the enemy moved the personnel of its units, closed checkpoints, and the commandant's office.

The low morale and psychological state of the personnel of the enemy units in the Zaporizhzhia region is noted. These are the consequences of unsatisfactory conditions of detention, poor equipment, constant delays and incomplete payments of financial support, as well as the contemptuous attitude of the military leadership towards subordinates.

During the current day, the aviation of the Defence Forces struck the enemy four times. Two areas of concentration of personnel, weapons, and military equipment, as well as two positions of the enemy's anti-aircraft defence equipment, were damaged. Ukrainian air defence units shot down two "Shahed-136" UAVs.

Soldiers of missile troops and artillery of the Defence Forces of Ukraine struck the enemy's control post, five areas of concentration of manpower, weapons and military equipment and a number of other critical military objects of the enemy during the day.

Glory to Ukraine!
