It has been the 242nd 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 6pm:
The enemy is trying to hold the ground in the temporarily occupied territories, focus efforts on restraining the actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and launch the offensive towards Bakhmut and Avdiivka.
To maintain military operations in Ukraine, the russian federation continues to complete units at the expense of mobilized persons and removes military equipment from storage.
Ukrainian defenders repelled the enemy attacks in the area of settlements of Bakhmut, Klishchiivka, Novomykhailivka, Marinka, Nevelske, Pervomaiske and Avdiivka, Donetsk oblast.
The enemy fires at the positions of Ukrainian defenders along the entire contact line and conducts aerial reconnaissance. The enemy launched missile and air strikes on critical infrastructure and civilian housing by violating the norms of International humanitarian law, laws and customs of war.
In total, during the day, the occupiers inflicted 2 missile and 25 air strikes, carried out about 30 attacks from multiple launch rocket systems.
Enemy strikes targeted civilian infrastructure facilities in Mykolaiv, Zaporizhzhia and Novotavrycheske, Zaporizhzhia oblast.
Towards Volyn and Polissia, the situation has not changed significantly. There remains the threat of missile and air strikes on Ukrainian critical infrastructure from the territory of the republic of belarus, in particular, using Iranian-made strike UAVs.
In other directions, the enemy fired towards:
Kupiansk and Lyman from mortars, barreled and rocket artillery in the areas of Yampolivka, Kamianka and Bilohorivka;
Bakhmut from tanks, mortars, barreled and rocket artillery, in the areas of Bakhmutske, Bakhmut, Klishchiivka, Ozarianivka, Opytne, Soledar and Yakovlivka of Donetsk oblast;
Avdiivka and Zaporizhzhia from tanks and artillery of various types, in the areas of Avdiivka, Pervomaiske, Nevelske, Vodiane, Novomykhailivka, Marinka, Prechistivka, Novopil, Novosilka and Zaliznychne.
Towards the South Buh, the enemy shelled the military and civilian infrastructure of settlements near the contact line. Nikopol and Illinka, Dnipropetrovsk oblast, suffered from the fire of rocket and barreled artillery.
The russian military command has problems with the material support of mobilized citizens. Thus, towards Kherson, the mobilized russian servicemen have poor equipment, most of them do not have military shoes and other elements of clothing and equipment.
It is known that the mobilized personnel of the russian occupation forces are sent to war due to the operational situation. The command does not take into account the level of their training. Thus, the russian military leadership is trying to keep the front line. Due to the weak interaction, there are frequent cases of so-called ‘friendly fire’ between enemy units.
According to the updated information, the destruction of enemy personnel and equipment for October 22 was confirmed. In the area of Enerhodar, as a result of fire damage, 4 D-30 howitzers, 3 trucks with ammunition, up to 50 enemy servicemen were eliminated, and about 40 more were wounded. In one of the directions, 2 units of the enemy’s Hurricane MLRS were struck, along with the combat crew.
Aviation of the Defense Forces inflicted 6 strikes. The defeat of 6 buildups of weapons and military equipment of the enemy was confirmed. To date, air defense units have shot down twelve Shahed-136 UAVs.
Rocket troops and artillery struck a control point, five buildups of manpower, weapons and military equipment, an ammunition depot and an enemy anti-aircraft missile system.
Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko says that due to russia’s full-scale invasion, Ukraine lost 90 % of wind and about 40-50 % of solar energy. The majority of the green energy sources were located in the south, its losses are now the largest. Halushchenko also added that in 2019 and 2020 there was a rapid growth of green energy in Ukraine, its share was 10-11%.
Mayor Dmitry Orlov reports that the occupied city of Enerhodar, Zaporizhia oblast, is on the verge of a humanitarian catastrophe. The city has no energy and water supply and there are no prospects for launching heating. Constant enemy shelling destroys residential buildings and power grids. There has been no gas in most parts of the city for almost six months.
