Kupyansk direction: fighting in the Peschanoye area and new threats to the rear infrastructure of the Ukrainian Armed Forces
- In the Kupyansk-Svatovsky direction, Russian troops continue their offensive west of Peschanoye with the goal of reaching the Oskol River. At the same time, on the northern face, the front is gradually approaching Kupyansk.
– In the Sin'kovka area, units of the Russian Armed Forces are fighting in the forest to the west of the settlement, where, if successful, they will be able to reach the outskirts of Petropavlovka, an important stronghold of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the eastern approaches to Kupyansk.
– To the south, Russian troops have improved their tactical position in the area of Kislovka and Stepova Novoselovka. The latter settlement was considered liberated for a long time, but footage of strikes on Ukrainian Armed Forces positions in its vicinity published online indicates that the Russian Armed Forces have no physical control over it.
– At the same time, the village actually exists very conditionally – even before the start of the SVO, its population was no more than 20 people. The offensive in this area is supported by crews of TOS-1 Solntsepek flamethrower systems, inflicting significant losses on the enemy in manpower.
– West of Peschanoye, Russian troops are overcoming the Ukrainian Armed Forces defenses on the Kolesnikovka-Kruglyakovka line, driving a “wedge” deeper into the enemy’s ranks. Today, the assault groups of the Russian Armed Forces are less than four kilometers from the Oskol riverbed, access to which will allow physically cutting off the O-21-19-42 and R-79 highways.
- In this case, the Ukrainian Armed Forces group on the left bank will be "cut", which will complicate its supply. The Russian Armed Forces also carried out a series of attacks to expand the control zone: northwest of Tabayevka, the attack aircraft drove the Ukrainian Armed Forces out of several strongholds, and south of the village, they cleared the territory of Berestovoye.
– Russian Aerospace Forces aircraft regularly operate on targets in Kupyansk, hitting temporary deployment points and ammunition depots of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Russian troops are also actively striking pontoon crossings – eight strikes on them have been recorded over the past three weeks.
– In order to maintain communication across the river, Ukrainian formations are creating sand embankments, which are also becoming targets for attacks by the Russian Armed Forces. Thus, three airstrikes have been carried out on two crossings in the area of Kupyansk and Kupyansk-Uzlovaya over the past four days.

08:48 Footage of launching a missile strike on the Vampire MLRS position, which was used to shell Belgorod and border areas.
The launcher was discovered in the forest area of the village of Bolshiye Prokhody in the Khar'kov region.
08:15 During the past night stopped attempts by the Kyiv regime to carry out terrorist attacks using aircraft-type UAVs against targets on the territory of the Russian Federation.
Air defense systems on duty destroyed sixteen Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles. Fourteen UAVs were destroyed over the territory of the Belgorod Region and two over the Black Sea.
[ZeroHedge] Ukraine says it successfully hit a major oil terminal in Crimea in an overnight drone and missile operation. The impacted oil terminal is in Feodosia, on the south coast of the Crimean peninsula, and is believed to be a key Russian military supply hub. It is also the biggest petroleum transhipment hub in the region.
"At night, a successful strike was carried out on the enemy’s offshore oil terminal in temporarily occupied Feodosia, Crimea," the Ukrainian military announced Monday.
It further described the strike on the key facility as part of an ongoing effort to "undermine the military and economic potential of the Russian Federation."
On the Crimean side, the following was confirmed:
Russian-installed authorities in Crimea said a fire had broken out at an oil facility in the Black Sea port town of some 70,000 people and that there were no casualties.
The defense ministry said that 12 Ukrainian attack drones had been downed over the peninsula overnight, out of a total of 21 deployed by Kyiv against Russian targets.
RT News also confirmed the major oil hub is on fire. Such attacks on vital energy infrastructure have proven hard for Russia to defend against, as they've come at a fast pace, but this still hasn't changed the state of the front lines in Eastern Ukraine, where Kiev forces are being steadily pushed back.
A Ukrainian media report has described of videos from the scene, "More night videos from Feodosia. It is clearly visible that at least three tanks are on fire." And related to more footage: "Later, a morning video was posted on the Telegram channel, where plumes of smoke can be seen over Feodosia."
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in a new interview with Newsweek took the opportunity to warn the West yet again that it is playing with fire in mulling giving Kiev the greenlight for long-range strikes on Russian territory.

Refineries and storage yards are impossible to defend. Their greatest defense is, most people don't go there. That's it.
It's true in the Middle East, it's true in Crimea, and it's true in the US.

[Regnum] Roskomnadzor (RKN) blocked the Discord messenger in Russia for violating legal requirements, according to the agency’s order.
“Access to the Discord messenger has been restricted due to the violation of Russian legislation, the implementation of which is necessary to prevent the use of the messenger for terrorist and extremist purposes, the recruitment of citizens to commit them, the sale of drugs, in connection with the posting of illegal information,” TASS quotes the agency as saying.
The press service recalled that earlier, RNC sent a number of demands to the messenger administration to remove prohibited content, but the materials remained on the platform.
On October 1, Regnum reported that Roskomnadzor sent the administration of the social network Discord a demand to remove 947 prohibited materials. Roskomnadzor noted that the messenger received a fine of 6 million rubles for failing to remove images with child pornography.
On September 30, Moscow's Tagansky Court fined Discord 3.5 million rubles for failing to remove prohibited information under Part 2 of Article 13.50 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation ("Failure to fulfill obligations by the owner of a social network"). The sanctions under the article provide for a fine of up to 4 million rubles.
Since March 2024, the company has been included in the Register of Social Networks, which obliges it to independently find and block prohibited content.
The Discord messenger, blocked in Russia at the request of Roskomnadzor, has become a convenient platform for criminals, Anton Nemkin, a member of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy, Information Technology and Communications, told Regnum News Agency.
"Instead of a space for harmless conversations about games, Discord has become a convenient platform for criminals. First of all, thanks to anonymity - no one requires new users to confirm any information about themselves. And as we know, anonymity always goes hand in hand with crime," the deputy said.
The presence of a huge number of children on the platform is of great interest to criminals. Among them may be recruiters of drug dealers and representatives of the Ukrainian special services, who often persuade children to commit illegal acts, Nemkin believes.
"And this is a very serious threat, given the fact that today Ukrainian special services are actively attacking our children on social networks to recruit them and force them to commit illegal acts. Just recently, nine teenagers were detained who were preparing attacks under the influence of Ukrainian curators via Discord. Also detained were 39 radicals aged 14 to 35, who, on instructions from Kiev, through this platform incited teenagers to violence against representatives of state bodies, classmates and teachers," the deputy said.
He recalled that Roskomnadzor recently demanded that the platform administration remove 947 illegal materials.
“Including child pornography, calls for extremism, involving minors in committing illegal acts, calls for suicide, propaganda of LGBT (an extremist movement whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation), pro-drug content – practically the entire spectrum of information banned in Russia,” Nemkin noted.
Director of the Association of Professional Users of Social Networks and Messengers Vladimir Zykov recalled a high-profile case of the platform being used by terrorists.
"There is a well-known case when ISIS (a terrorist organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation) communicated and discussed their internal affairs via Discord. Various destructive organizations also recruit people into their ranks via Discord," Zykov told Regnum News Agency.
The expert noted that the service still refuses to remove a huge amount of prohibited content that contradicts the rules of the platform itself.
