Quote: "The enemy is continuing an active defence campaign and searching for ways to restore ground supply routes and reinforce defence positions on the left bank of the River Dnipro.
Mutual counter-battery fire continues relentlessly along the line of contact. The enemy is deploying multiple-launch rocket systems (MLRS), heavy artillery, mortars, tanks and aircraft to fire on our positions."
Details: A Russian Ka-52 Alligator attack helicopter carried out an attack on Ukrainian positions, but Ukraine’s anti-aircraft gunners shot it down.
Russian forces have ramped up aerial reconnaissance along the line of contact in order to establish the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Moreover, the Russians are continuing to deploy kamikaze drones to carry out further attacks on Ukraine. Late on 26 October, Russian forces launched around two dozen Shahed-136 drones on southern Ukraine from the territory of temporarily occupied Crimea. Ukraine’s air defence forces shot down three drones over Mykolaiv Oblast, 15 over Odesa Oblast and one over Vinnytsia Oblast.
Ukraine’s attack and army aircraft carried out six strikes on Russia’s air defence forces and equipment, a Russian strong point, and three clusters of Russian military personnel, weapons and equipment in the Beryslav and Mykolaiv districts.
Ukraine’s Rocket Forces and Artillery carried out 190 firing missions.
According to the most up-to-date information, Russia’s confirmed losses in southern Ukraine comprise 53 soldiers, two mortars, an Akatsia self-propelled large-calibre howitzer, two armoured vehicles and two dugouts with military personnel inside. Final numbers have yet to be confirmed.
