SBU confirms massive drone strike on military camp near Khalino airbase in Russia’s Kursk Oblast:
The Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) overnight targeted a military field camp near the Khalino airbase in Russia’s Kursk Oblast, SBU sources told NV on Oct. 18.
The camp is believed to have housed up to 3,000 enemy troops and 80 pieces of equipment.
At least 18 drones successfully targeted the camp near the village of Postoyali Dvory, causing a“significant impact.”
The exact number of enemy casualties is still being determined
“Throughout the night, the Russians from the surrounding villages discussed the sounds of explosions on social media. It’s quite strange how they could hear them since the Russian authorities reported that the air defense had ‘shot down all the drones’ and there were ‘no casualties,'” the sources said.
Six drones were shot down in Kursk Oblast, and another four were “eliminated” by electronic warfare systems, the regional governor Roman Starovoit claimed on Oct. 18. —>READ MORE HERE
War update: 64 military clashes on front, enemy attacks repelled in six sectors:
Sixty-four combat engagements have occurred on the front in the past 24 hours. Ukraine’s Defense Forces repelled Russian attacks in the Kupiansk, Lyman, Bakhmut, Marinka, Shakhtarske and Zaporizhzhia directions.
The relevant statement was made by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Facebook, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
Ukrainian forces continue conducting the offensive operation in the Melitopol direction and offensive (assault) actions in the Bakhmut direction, inflicting personnel and equipment losses on Russian occupation troops and exhausting the enemy all over the front line.
Over the past day, Ukraine’s Air Force has launched 15 strikes on Russian personnel, ammunition and military equipment clusters, and three strikes on enemy surface-to-air missile systems.
The Ukrainian military downed Russia’s Su-25 aircraft and four reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
Ukrainian missile units hit two Russian command posts, one Tor surface-to-air missile system, one Zoopark-1M radar system, and 11 artillery systems.
Russian troops launched 11 missile strikes and 46 air strikes, and opened fire with multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) over 30 times on Ukrainian positions and settlements. Following Russian terrorist attacks, casualties among civilians were reported, as well as the damage caused to a 5-storey apartment block, a church, over 20 detached houses, and other civil infrastructure.
The operational situation is remaining challenging in eastern and southern Ukraine, according to the General Staff.
In the Volyn and Polissia directions, the operational situation remained rather unchanged. No signs of enemy offensive groupings were detected. Separate Belarusian units are carrying out tasks within the areas bordering with Ukraine. —>READ MORE HERE
