Operational information as of the morning of October 11, 2022 from the General Staff

The two hundred-thirtieth (230) day of the heroic resistance of the Ukrainian people to a russian military large-scale invasion continues. Without success, the enemy launches missile strikes and actively uses attack UAVs to damage critical infrastructure and densely populated cities of our country. The enemy is not able to stop the successful counteroffensive of the Defence Forces in the Kharkiv and Kherson directions, so it is trying to intimidate and sow panic among the population of Ukraine.

Mobilization and transfer of reserves by the enemy also do not provide an opportunity to overcome the resistance of the defenders of our country. During the previous day, the occupiers launched more than 61 rocket and 32 air strikes, carried out about 92 MLRS attacks.

73 air targets were destroyed by air defense units in various directions, including 46 cruise missiles and 27 unmanned aerial vehicles. As a result of a massive missile attack, the infrastructure of more than 30 settlements was damaged in the past day.

These are, in particular, Kyiv, Lviv, Rivne, Zhytomyr, Ternopil, Khmelnytskyi, Ivano-Frankivsk, Vinnytsia, Pryluky, Nizhyn, Konotop, Kharkiv, Kremenchuk, Dnipro, Kryvyi Rih, Zaporizhzhia, Mykolaiv, Odesa. Civilian citizens of Ukraine were killed and wounded. The threat of the enemy launching missile strikes on critical infrastructure and peaceful neighbourhoods remains.

Also, the occupiers do not stop trying to hold the temporarily captured territories, shell the positions of our troops, focus their efforts on trying to disrupt the counter-offensive actions of the units of the Defence Forces, and try to conduct offensive actions in separate directions. The situation in the Volyn and Polissya directions has not changed significantly. According to available information, the leadership of the republic of belarus continues to support the russian federation in the war against Ukraine, giving the russian federation the opportunity to use the airspace and airfield network to carry out airstrikes on the territory of Ukraine.
