It has been the 230th 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 enemy continues to launch missile strikes and use assault UAVs to destroy critical infrastructure and residential areas of our country’s cities.
The invaders again launched a massive missile strike, used almost thirty cruise missiles on our country, inflicted seven air strikes and carried out about twenty-five attacks from multiple launch rocket systems.
Thirty-two air targets were destroyed by air defense units of Ukraine in different directions, including 21 cruise missiles and 11 unmanned aerial vehicles.
Following a massive barrage of rocket attacks, the infrastructure of over ten settlements in Lviv, Vinnytsia, Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk oblasts was damaged. At night, the enemy used eight Iranian assault UAVs to try to damage critical infrastructure in Mykolaiv Oblast. All the drones were destroyed by the air defense forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The situation towards Volyn and Polissia did not change significantly.
In other directions, the enemy fired mortars, tanks, barreled and rocket artillery in areas of the following settlements towards:
Siversk, Tymonovychi and Yanzhulivka, Chernihiv Oblast;
Sloboda Ukraine, Sotnytskyi Kozachok, Odnorobivka, Udy, Veterynarne and Kozacha Lopan;
Kramatorsk, Raihorodok, Novoyehorivka, Hrekivka, Makiivka, Nove, Novoliubivka, Yampolivka, Torske and Spirne;
Bakhmut, Vesele, Bilohorivka, Yakovlivka, Soledar, Bakhmut, Bakhmutske, Odradivka, Opytne, Maiorsk and Niu York;
Avdiivka, Berdychi, Avdiivka, Kamianka, Pervomaiske, Vodiane, Nevelske, Krasnohorivka, Marinka and Novomykhailivka;
Novopavlivka and Zaporizhzhia, Uspenivka, Neskuchne, Poltavka, Vuhledar, Zaliznychne, Malynivka, Charivne and Bilohiria.
Towards the South Buh, the enemy continues to shell the positions of our units to thwart a counterattack along the entire line of contact. The areas of over twenty settlements were affected by fire, namely Davydiv Brid, Nova Kamianka, Blahodativka, Shyroke, Shevchenkove, Liubomyrivka, Ternovi Pody, Pravdyne, Myrne and Oleksandrivka.
Mobilization and transfer of reserves do not enable the enemy to overcome the resistance of the defenders of our country. Meanwhile, riots among the mobilized continue in Russia. Thus, according to available information, at one of the training grounds of the eastern military district, due to the low level of security, non-compliance with sanitary standards, inadequate nutrition and lack of normal living conditions, more than a hundred mobilized russians refuse to comply with any orders of the command and leave the barracks.
Units of the Defense Forces of Ukraine repulsed the occupiers’s attacks in the areas of Mykolaivka, Soledar, Bakhmut, Bakhmutske, Maiorsk and Pervomaiske.
The defeat of the buildup of enemy manpower and military equipment in Kherson Oblast was confirmed. According to available information, up to one hundred invaders and about thirty units of weapons and military equipment were destroyed.
In Zaporizhia Oblast, in previous days the Defense Forces struck the S-300 anti-aircraft missile system, up to ten units of military equipment and about sixty servicemen of the russian occupation forces.
The aviation of the Defense Forces inflicted two strikes on buildups of enemy weapons and military equipment.
Rocket forces and artillery struck one control point, nine buildups of manpower, weapons and military equipment, five air defense systems and four ammunition depots.
The President’s Office reports that at an urgent G7 meeting, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy proposed a Formula for Peace. The first point is defensive support, including the air shield for Ukraine. The second point is Ukraine’s territorial integrity, which is combined with the third point – the punishment for russia for everything it has done. He also added: “When russia attacks the energy sector and energy stability of our countries, it is necessary to block its energy sector with sanctions, break stability of Russian revenues from oil and gas trade. We need a tight price ceiling for oil and gas exports from russia – zero profits for a terrorist state. It is these steps that can bring peace closer – they make the terrorist state think about peace, about the disadvantage of war.”
Head of the President’s Office Andrii Yermak reports that there occurred another exchange of prisoners of war. 32 Ukrainian soldiers were released and the body of the Israeli Dmytro Fialka returned. Among the freed prisoners are officers, sergeants and soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
37 children illegally taken from the temporarily occupied Kharkiv oblast were returned to Ukraine. This was reported by the Ministry of Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories. The russians illegally took the children to the russian village of Kabardinka (near Gelendzhik), despite the fact that each of them has parents. Currently, the children are in Zakarpattia in shelters for internally displaced persons.
Just within a day, Ukrainians transferred UAH 352 million to the Serhiy Prytula Foundation to help the Ukrainian army in the war against the russian federation. Prytula announced this on Twitter. Amid russia’s growing missile terror against Ukraine in recent days, the Prytula Foundation has announced a fundraiser for kamikaze drones. However, Ukrainians exceeded volunteers’ expectations, so not only drones will be purchased.
Recent war events in the east of Ukraine
Kharkiv oblast
According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, russia’s army is incapable of stopping a Ukrainian counteroffensive in Kharkiv oblast. Gaining no success on the battlefield, the enemy is launching missile strikes and actively using UAVs to hit critical infrastructure and populated cities in the country. The invaders shelled five settlements towards Sloboda, namely Kozacha Lopan, Odnorobivka, Sotnytskyi Kozachok, Udy and Veterynarne.
Head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration, Oleh Syniehubov, reported that 37 children, illegally taken to russia from Kharkiv oblast by the invaders, are returning to their homeland. To get the children back, their parents had to travel through several European countries.

Thanks to the testimonies of residents, two sites of mass graves in Lyman were identified. According to the citizens, civilians were buried in one place and the military in the other. How accurate this distribution is remains to be verified.
At the site where civilians are probably buried, about a hundred and fifty graves were found, but the final death toll will certainly differ. Many of the dead have blast injuries – the bodies literally have to be collected in pieces. There are also bodies with signs of torture in the graves.
Law enforcers found another torture chamber near the liberated Sviatohirsk Lavra. Exhumation continues in Lyman, with more than 100 trenches discovered in total.
Head of the Donetsk Regional Military Administration, Pavlo Kyrylenko, informed that russians killed 6 civilians: 2 in Dibrove, 1 in Opytne and 3 in Sloviansk. Another 8 people were injured.

What is happening now in the north of Ukraine
Kyiv oblast
During the air raid alert, the air defence forces managed to shoot down 2 missiles fired at the oblast by russian troops. The air raid alarm lasted for over four hours.
According to Head of the Kyiv RMA Oleksii Kuleba, the missile strikes in the oblast on October 10 resulted in only civilian casualties – 1 person was killed in Brovary district, 10 people were wounded, 6 of them were taken to the hospital. 32 private houses and two critical infrastructure facilities were damaged.
The damaged power supply has been restored in all settlements of Kyiv oblast. In order to balance the power system and prevent large-scale outages, a schedule of hourly power blackouts has been introduced. It is expected that the duration of blackouts will not exceed 4 hours.
Head of the police of Kyiv oblast Andrii Nebytov informs that after the massive russian air strikes, the Kyiv region police are working extra shifts on the streets of the oblast in the evening and at night. The reason is that in the evening the load on the power grid will be reduced and the streets will be less illuminated.
The restoration of critical infrastructure facilities continues. A bridge over the Trubizh river is being repaired near Borshchiv village. A temporary detour road has been arranged near the bridge.
Oksana Leontieva, a hematologist, was killed on her way to work due to a missile strike in the center of Kyiv. She worked in the bone marrow transplantation department of Okhmatdyt and helped children with blood cancer. Oksana is survived by her 5-year-old son, who will be raised by his grandfather.
Mayor Vitalii Klitschko informed that the situation with power supply in Kyiv is now stabilized, and there is no need for emergency power blackouts. Kyiv rescue services are working in the emergency mode 24 hours a day.
Residents are asked to limit scheduled visits to medical institutions in order not to endanger themselves. During the air raid alarm, medical staff and patients of outpatient facilities must proceed to shelters. Any non-emergency medical procedures should be stopped.
The traffic on Taras Shevchenko Boulevard and Volodymyrska Street has resumed. Road builders have laid a new pavement in the place where the russian missile hit, and Kyivvodokanal has replaced part of the damaged pipeline under the roadway.
Restoration work of the pedestrian-bicycle bridge damaged by the explosion of a russian missile is carried out. Vitali Klitschko says that the bridge, which used to be one of the tourist attractions of the city, has become a symbol of invincibility and resilience of Ukraine.
Zhytomyr oblast
According to the National Police, as a result of enemy missile strikes in Zhytomyr, a number of facilities were damaged including a secondary school and enterprise premises. Investigative teams were working at the scene and documented all the circumstances of the events.
Trolleybus and streetcar routes in Zhytomyr, suspended after missile strikes, resumed operation. Not all the rolling stock of the trolleybus and streetcar department departed in order not to overload the network, said the Mayor Serhiy Sukhomlyn. Also, water supply in the city has been completely restored.
Residents of Zhytomyr oblast reduced electricity consumption by almost 300,000 kW in just 6 evening hours. This allowed them to redistribute the load and provide electricity to the most affected areas. In other words, every third of more than 370K families of Zhytomyr oblast did not use a washing machine, an iron, a TV or a boiler in the most difficult times for the energy system of our country.
EOD specialists of the State Emergency Service of Zhytomyr oblast continue demining in the oblast. They destroyed an enemy 122-mm missile which was found in the open area near Rudnia village of the Ushomyr community, and inspected the bottom of the pond in Novi Vorobyi village of the Malyn community.
Volunteers of Zhytomyr oblast signed a Memorandum on coalition. Over 20 non-governmental organizations, volunteers and representatives of charitable foundations gathered for an informal meeting – Voices of Communities in Times of War: Volunteer Initiatives of Zhytomyr – to share experiences and unite volunteer efforts.
Sumy oblast
The night in the region was quiet. Over the past 24 hours, Sumy oblast was shelled with all types of small arms – from heavy machine guns to self-propelled artillery systems and rockets. There were 38 strikes in total. An infrastructure facility was destroyed in the Konotop community, a local resident was killed in the Bilopillia community, and four more people were injured.
Head of the Sumy Regional Military Administration Dmytro Zhyvytskyi reports that Krasnopillia, Yunakivka, Velyka Pysarivka, and Shostka communities were under fire, but there were no casualties.
The works continue to restore power and water supply. Almost 62K residents of three regions of the oblast are without power supply: Shostka, Romny, and Sumy. In three communities of the Shostka region, more than 5K customers are still without water. According to the Sumy Regional Military Administration, the supply will be restored by the end of the day.
Yesterday, russians shelled the center of Bilopillia with barrel artillery. The town is slowly recovering, public utility companies and residents of the damaged houses are clearing the wreckage, while power engineers are repairing broken power poles. A two-storey apartment building was most damaged, a private house nearby was completely destroyed, and a school building was also affected. The authorities provided people with temporary accommodation.
The international organizations – UN Refugee Agency in Ukraine and Save The Children – will provide funds for the restoration of private houses in Okhtyrka region. This was reported by Deputy Head of Sumy RMA Oleh Koval yesterday during a meeting in Sumy.
Chernihiv oblast
Yesterday, the border territories of Novhorod-Siverskyi and Semenivka communities of Chernihiv oblast suffered from enemy fire. The enemy launched more than 50 artillery and mortar shells from the direction of Lubechany, Novyi Ropsk and Lomakivka. There were no casualties.
On October 11, there were 10 incoming mortar strikes near Senkivka. According to the ‘North’ Operational Command, there were 25 incoming strikes from MLRS, self-propelled artillery units, and mortars in the area of Yasna Polyana, as well as 20 shells presumably fired from self-propelled artillery units near Hai settlement.
After russia’s terrorist attack on October 10, the only option for balancing the operation of the Ukrainian power supply system is to limit consumption of electric power by using scheduled outages. The Chernihivoblenerho reported that yesterday there were no damages in the networks of the oblast. However, russian missiles hit neighboring oblasts – Kyiv, Poltava, and Sumy. According to Chernihivoblenerho, power supply was restored in these areas with the help of Chernihiv oblast resources. Automatic shutdown of networks was triggered, so some areas in Chernihiv were left without electricity.
Together with power blackout, water supply will also be stopped. Chernihivvodokanal urges citizens to prepare an emergency water supply. Thus, they could have the necessary amount of water in case of a long-term shutdown without overloading the water supply system.
