It has been the 229th day of the Ukrainian resistance to the russian military aggression.
What happened in Ukraine today:
Here is operational information of the General Staff as of 18.00:
Incapable of gaining any success on the battle field, the russian army uses the terror tactics against the civilians in Ukraine. By violating norms of the international humanitarian law, traditions and customs of war, they hit the critical infrastructure and civilian buildings.
The enemy once again struck the populated Ukrainian cities with rockets and missiles. Following a massive barrage of rocket attacks, the critical infrastructure and civilians were affected in 20 settlements in Kyiv, Lviv, Rivne, Zhytomyr, Ternopil, Khmelnytskyi, Ivano-Frankivsk, Vinnytsia, Pryluky, Nizhyn, Konotop, Kharkiv, Kremenchuk, Dnipro, Kryvyi Rih, Zaporizhzhia, Mykolaiv, Odesa.

The enemy is attempting in the meantime to hold the ground in the temporarily occupied territories, fire Ukrainian positions, and focus its efforts on thwarting the active actions of Ukrainian defenders. They have launched the offensive towards Bakhmut and Avdiivka.
The situation towards Volyn and Polissia did not change significantly. The regime of the self-proclaimed president of republic of belarus is supporting the russian armed aggression and serves as the operations base to launch strikes on the territory of Ukraine and build-up area for weapons. No strike groups were created. As of October 10, there is no threat of the offensive from the republic of belarus.
The enemy fired towards:

Not only the positions of Ukrainian defenders, but also civilian houses were attacked. Nikopol, Vyschetarasivka and Novokyivka were affected the most.

The occupiers hospitalize wounded soldiers to the child clinic in one of the settlements in Luhansk oblast. There are former prisoners and members of the military campaign “Wagner” among them. Kids are ill treated and dismissed from the hospital prematurely to free the beds.
