A brief update for November 1st. #ukrdailyupdate

I am still working to confirm the status of various areas along the front line, so this will be light on details.

If you would like to view the map: map.ukrdailyupdate.com

Russia fired over 100 shells, primarily mortars, into the Sumy oblast today into six towns. Unfortunately, I only know three towns (plus two more in Chernihiv oblast).

Here is an overview of the Kupyansk/Svatove area.

Near Kupyansk, Ukrainian forces were geoconfirmed fighting in Orlyanske (highlighted arrow).

A bit south of Orlyanske, closer to Svatove, Ukraine is attacking Kuzemivka.

Here is an overview of the Kreminna area.

Near Kreminna, Ukraine is attacking Chervonopopivka, and Russia is doing active defense around Kreminna, clearing the area west of the town.

In the Siversk area, Russia has had partial success attacking Bilohorivka and now controls a chunk of the town (highlighted arrow).

They also attacked Spirne without notable changes.

North of Bakhmut, Russia is assaulting Yakovlivka, Soledar, and Bakhmutske as usual without notable changes.

South of Bakhmut, Russia is attacking Ivanhrad, Opytne, and near the asphalt plant without notable changes.

Near New York, Russia is assaulting Mayorsk and Oleksandropil without notable changes.

In the Avdiivka area, Russia is assaulting Vesele, Kamyanka, Avdiivka, Opytne, and Vodyane. I am still determining the status of Opytne at the moment, but the other areas are without notable changes.

West of Donetsk, Russia assaulted Pervomaiske, Nevelske, Krasnohorivka, and Marinka.

Russia’s focus is Nevelske, and they moved perhaps 100 meters over the past 48 hours.

Russia has had some success moving through the gray area in Marinka, but the situation is mercurial.

Southwest of Donetsk, Russia is performing a significant attack on the Vuhledar/Pavlivka area. This area has the heaviest fighting in Ukraine at the moment.

Russia is assaulting Novomykhailivka, and they claim to have success south of the town, but I haven’t seen solid proof.

Russia is assaulting Vuhledar and Pavlivka. In Pavlivka, Russia controls the eastern and southern portions of the city, but Ukraine controls the west, the central bridge crossings, and the northern part.

Russia has moved up to the T0509 highway between Zolota Nyva and Prechystivka.

Petro Adryushchenko, an adviser to the mayor of Mariupol, reported an explosion in the Akhtamar hotel. Supposedly the strike destroyed military equipment and Kadyrovites.

South of Hulyaipole, Ukraine is performing reconnaissance by combat in Marfopil, probing for weaknesses.

Between Kamyanske and Orikhiv, Ukraine is attacking south from Stepove toward Pyatykhatky. But, again, this is reconnaissance by combat, probing for weaknesses.

Russia heavily shelled the Nikopol and Marhanets areas today, targeting kindergartens, hairdressers, and other similar high-value military targets.

Russia fired four S-300 missiles into Mykolaiv, destroying a historic gymnasium, a college, and a college dorm.
