Details: Over the course of the past 24 hours, the Ukrainian Armed Forces repelled Russian attacks in the vicinity of Bilohorivka (Luhansk Oblast) and Bakhmut, Ivanhrad, Maiorsk, Soledar, Krasnohorivka and Marinka (Donetsk Oblast).

Russian forces are continuing to fire on the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces along the line of contact and to reinforce their defence positions on the left bank of the River Dnipro. They are also conducting extensive aerial reconnaissance.

Russian forces carried out 4 missile strikes and 18 airstrikes, as well as over 56 attacks using multiple-launch rocket systems (MLRS) over the course of the past 24 hours. 

The cities of Kupiansk, Druzhkivka and Zaporizhzhia came under Russian fire.

There were no significant changes on the Volyn and Polissia fronts. The Republic of Belarus is continuing to aid and support Russia’s military aggression against Ukraine by allowing Russian forces to use its territory, airspace and infrastructure. There is an ongoing threat of missile and air strikes from the territory of Belarus, including with the use of attack UAVs.

On other fronts, the Russians continued to fire on military and civilian targets:

• On the Slobozhanshchyna front: Russian forces deployed mortars and tubed and rocket artillery on the territory of the Russian Federation to fire on areas in and around Chuhunivka, Strilecha, Dvorichna, Kamianka, Krasne and Starytsia;

Russian military personnel conscripted a week ago are continuing to arrive on the temporarily occupied territory in Zaporizhzhia Oblast. They lack motivation and are unwilling to take part in hostilities in Ukraine. There are occasional instances of desertion.

Russia continues to suffer losses in Ukraine. The General Staff has confirmed that on 25 October, Ukrainian forces struck a cluster of Russian weapons and equipment and several ammunition dumps in the vicinity of Beryslav in Kherson Oblast. The number of Russian personnel killed in the operation has yet to be confirmed.

Around 100 wounded Russian soldiers have been hospitalised in the municipal hospital in Holubivka, Luhansk Oblast over the course of 24–25 October. Several surgical brigades have been dispatched from Luhansk and Kadiivka to assist with treating the soldiers.

Ukrainian aircraft carried out five airstrikes on 26 October, striking a cluster of Russian military personnel, weapons and equipment, three strong points and an anti-aircraft defence system. In addition, Ukrainian air defence forces struck down a Russian Ka-52 helicopter, an Kh-59 missile and 17 attack UAVs.
