War in Ukraine today: latest news, October 31, 2022 (photo)

It has been the 250th 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 attempts to hold the temporarily occupied territories, focuses its efforts on restraining the actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and continues offensive operations towards Bakhmut and Avdiivka. 

The invaders continue to fire at the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine along the contact line, erect defensive constructions and conduct aerial reconnaissance. The enemy hits the critical infrastructure and civilian homes by violating the norms of the International humanitarian law, traditions and customs of war. 

The enemy launched up to 10 airstrikes and over 20 multi-rocket launcher attacks. In addition, the infrastructure in Kyiv, Poltava, Zaporizhzhia, Kharkiv, Cherkasy, Chernivtsi and other oblasts was subjected to enemy missile strikes. The enemy attacked military and civilian infrastructure facilities with 55 aerial guided missiles, 45 of which were shot down by our defenders.

The situation did not significantly change towards Volyn and Polissia. The republic of belarus continues to support the russian armed aggression. Russia is lobbing some units for the territory of belarus. Ukraine is still under the threat of missile and UAV attacks from the territory and air space of belarus. 

In other directions, the enemy fired towards:

Siversk from mortars and barreled artillery, near the settlement of Mezenivka, Sumy oblast;

Sloboda from tanks, mortars, barreled and rocket artillery, in the areas of the settlements of Dvorichna, Zelene and Kamianka;

Kupiansk and Lyman, from mortars, barreled and rocket artillery, in the areas of the settlements Berestove, Hrekivka, Zarichne, Nevske and Stelmakhivka;

Bakhmut from tanks and multi-caliber artillery, in the areas of the settlements of Bilohorivka, Klishchiivka, Maiorsk, Opytne, Spirne, Yakovlivka and Zelenopillia;

Avdiivka from tanks, mortars, barreled and rocket artillery, in the areas of the settlements of Vodiane, Novobakhmutivka and Pervomaiske;

Novopavlivka and Zaporizhzhia from tanks and artillery of various types, in the areas of the settlements of Vremivka, Vuhledar and Pavlivka.

Towards the South Buh, more than 30 settlements along the contact line suffered fire damage, namely Novodanylivka, Krasne and Zhaliznychne.

Against the background of significant losses on the territory of Ukraine, the russian military-political leadership is looking for ways to replenish the occupying forces at the expense of private military companies. Despite significant image and political losses in the international arena, it was decided to withdraw the contingent of private military campaigns from the Republic of Mali. In addition, russian military mercenaries are trying to create an aviation component that can be used in Ukraine. However, effectiveness and training of pilots using various modifications of the Mi-8 does not allow performing tasks as intended. Motivation of the flight crew is negatively affected by significantly reduced, compared to Syria, payments.

Aviation of the Defense Forces inflicted 14 strikes on the enemy. 12 of them – in the areas of buildups of weapons and military equipment, a platoon stronghold, as well as the position of the enemy’s air defense complex. Ukrainian air defense units shot down 2 helicopters (Ka-52 and Mi-8) and 2 enemy UAVs.

Units of rocket troops and artillery struck a control point, two buildups of manpower, weapons and military equipment, and other important military targets.

The press service of the Air Force Command reports that russia has carried out a massive missile terrorist attack on Ukraine. There were several missile attacks on critical infrastructure of Ukraine in the morning. More than 50 X-101/Kh-555 cruise missiles were fired from the Tu-95/Tu-160 strategic aviation missile carriers from the north of the Caspian Sea and from the Volgodonsk (Rostov oblast). The Air Force shot down 44 missiles. In the areas of responsibility of the ‘Center’ Air Command, 18 missiles were destroyed, the “South” Air Command – 12, the ‘East’ Air Command – 9, the ‘West’ Air Command – 5.

Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal reports that as a result of the terrorist attack of russia, missiles and drones attacked 10 oblasts and damaged 18 objects, most of them the energy facilities. Hundreds of settlements in seven oblasts of Ukraine were de-energized. Currently, local emergency outages continue in Kyiv, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk and Kharkiv oblasts.

Mayor of Kyiv Vitalii Klytschko says that in Kyiv, due to damage to the power facility, there is no power supply to about 350 thousand apartments. Also, 80% of consumers do not have water supply. Specialists are doing everything to restore electricity and water supply in the near future.

But today the self-proclaimed “head of the DPR” published a so-called decree, by which he “annexed” five villages near Bakhmut and Horlivka to the pseudo-republic. The villages are Ivanhrad, Odaradivka, Opytne, Vesela Dolyna and Zaitseve.
