UKRAINE, KHARKIV OBLAST, Nov 5 – In the Kupiansk direction, the Ukrainian forces repelled 21 Russian attacks in the areas of Kindrashivka, Kucherivka, Petropavlivka, Kolisnykivka, Zahryzove, Vyshneve, Pishchane, Druzhelyubivka, Lozova, and Kruhliakivka, 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 actively used aviation to storm Ukrainian positions near Vovchansk ten times.
Russia launched one missile strike (used two rockets) and 11 airstrikes, dropping 18 glide bombs (KABs) on positions of Ukrainian troops and cities and villages in the region over the past day in total.
