Quote: "In October, the enemy launched three times as many assaults on Ukrainian military positions compared with September [on the Huliaipole front – ed.].

Meanwhile, the enemy has begun adjusting its infiltration tactics. Previously, it moved in small infantry groups of two to three people, but now it is increasingly attempting to infiltrate one person at a time, due to the growing number of fire strikes by Ukraine's defence forces against concentrations of enemy troops."

Details: The 7th Air Assault Corps said that the area around the settlements of Hirke, Zaliznychne, Tsvitkove and Huliaipole remains the most intense part of this section of the front.

"These settlements are located close to Huliaipole, which the enemy is trying to use as an area to amass personnel and equipment, as well as a foothold for a further offensive towards Zaporizhzhia," the Ukrainian military said.

Background: In their report for 8 November, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said that five Russian attacks had been repelled on the Huliaipole front near Uspenivka and Ternuvate.
