In the Kharkiv direction, the Russian forces are attacking mainly with infantry. The enemy is also amassing ammunition, equipment, warm clothing, as well as fuel and lubrication materials, according to Yevhen Romanov, spokesperson for the Kharkiv Operational Tactical Group.

"The enemy is currently attacking mostly with infantry. We know they are continuously building up resources, bringing in ammunition, equipment, food, warm gear, and fuel. They’re preparing for winter," said Romanov.

He added that the Defense Forces are aware of the enemy’s intentions.

"But for obvious reasons, we won’t disclose what surprises our troops are preparing for them in this area. I will say, however, that tanks are highly vulnerable targets," the spokesperson noted.

Romanov also mentioned an increase in Russian airstrikes. The Russian forces attacked Ukrainian positions 10 times yesterday using aerial bombs, and earlier they used unguided air-to-surface missiles.

As previously reported, heavy fighting continues in Vovchansk, Kharkiv region, where the city has been nearly destroyed due to clashes with Russian forces.
