The United States is set to deliver over 500 interceptor missiles to Ukraine in the coming weeks, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal. Explosions were reported early today in Kyiv and Kharkiv.

According to the Ukrainian agency Ukrinform, North Korean soldiers have reportedly arrived in Donetsk, although this claim has not yet been confirmed by other sources. Andriy Kovalenko, the head of the Center for Countering Disinformation, stated in a television interview that the North Korean military personnel are stationed in Russian-occupied areas of the Donetsk region.

President Volodymyr Zelensky presented a much-anticipated victory plan for Ukraine in parliament on October 16, although some aspects of it remain classified.

Over 2,500 of these drones have been created from July 2023 to July 2024 – The drone has been deployed against military and civilian targets in Ukraine, sources say

Russia began producing a new long-range attack drone, the Garpiya-A1, last year, using Chinese engines and components, according to two sources from a European intelligence agency and documents seen by Reuters.

President Vladimir Putin stated that Ukraine's ongoing incursion into Russia's Kursk region, which has lasted for several weeks, was intended to slow the Russian advance in Ukraine's Donbas region, but it has not succeeded. Speaking at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, Putin emphasized that capturing Donbas remains Moscow's primary objective in the full-scale war launched in 2022.

The war in Ukraine is at a critical point, as the country’s military leadership, led by General Oleksandr Syrskyi, is implementing a bold plan to reverse the course of the conflict.

Russian and Ukrainian forces engaged in another night of reciprocal shelling. Ukrainian drones reportedly ignited several oil tanks in Russia's Rostov region, although it remains unclear if the "Glubokinskaya" oil depot was among the targets.

Since Tuesday morning, there has been intense activity around Belgorod, near Russia’s southern border with Ukraine. Russian Telegram channels, citing their security service connections, report that Ukrainian forces are attempting an incursion, having already attacked a border station in the area.

Ukrainian authorities have urged residents of Pokrovsk in the Donetsk region to evacuate quickly, as Russian forces advance towards the city. Russian troops are now less than 10 kilometers from Pokrovsk, a strategic location due to its significance as a transport and industrial hub, as well as its coal-rich area.

Ukraine's military has made significant inroads into Russia's Kursk region, with Kyiv establishing a military command office in the occupied area. Colonel-General Oleksandr Syrskyi informed President Volodymyr Zelensky in a video that Ukrainian forces have advanced 35 km into Russian territory since the offensive began last week.
