UKRAINE, KHARKIV OBLAST, Oct 24 — In the Kupiansk direction, there were nine Russian attacks over the day. Ukrainian defense forces repelled assaults near Pishchane, Kruhliakivka, Stepova Novoselivka, Lozova, 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.  

Over the past day, the Russian army became more active in the Kharkiv direction. There were nine Russian attacks on the axis over the day.

Russia launched a missile strike and 89 airstrikes, dropping 154 glide bombs (KABs) on Ukrainian positions and towns and villages over the past day in total. They also fired over 4,000 times at Ukrainian forces, including 86 times from multiple launch rocket systems, and used over 1500 kamikaze drones to attack.
