UKRAINE, KHARKIV OBLAST, Oct 3 — In the Kupiansk direction, there were 14 Russian attacks over the past day. They tried to advance near Synkivka, Andriivka, Pishchane, and Stelmakhivka, reported the General Staff.

One of the main goals of the Russian full-scale war is to capture the remainder of occupied Luhansk and Donetsk Oblast; their operations on the Kupiansk-Svatove-Kreminna line are dedicated to that. From this section of the frontline, they also aim to push into Kharkiv Oblast and re-occupy Kupiansk and Kupiansk-Vuzlovyi, important logistics hubs for the region.  

In the Kharkiv direction, there were two combat clashes over the day. Russian troops tried to advance near Vovchansk and Tykhe.
