Frontline situation
Ukraine’s Defense Forces struck a repair base for Iskander-M missile systems in Russia’s Kursk region and a radar station in the Bryansk region on October 12 and overnight into October 13. Warehouses and concentrations of Russian troops were also targeted, according to Ukraine’s General Staff.
Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces killed three Russian soldiers and captured another during an operation in the Donetsk direction. The captured soldier’s information and a seized radio helped Ukrainian forces identify Russian troop routes, commanders, and the movements of additional groups.
