UKRAINE, KHARKIV OBLAST, Nov 4 – In the Kupiansk direction, the Ukrainian forces repelled 16 Russian attacks near Holubivka, Synkivka, Stepova Novoselivka, Kolisnykivka, Berestove, Zahryzove, Kruhliakivka, Vyshneve, and Pershotravneve, 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, Russians conducted four offensive and assault operations near Vovchansk.

Russia launched three missile strikes (used five rockets) and 90 airstrikes, dropping 142 glide bombs (KABs) on positions of Ukrainian troops and cities and villages in the region over the past day in total. They also fired over 4,400 times at Ukrainian forces from other types of weapons.
