Kharkiv

Ukrainian special forces successfully liberated the village of Kruhliakivka in Kharkiv Oblast from Russian invaders, bolstering defenses near the critical city of Kupiansk during a decisive operation from October 7 to 14, as reported by the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Defense Ministry.

As the combat zone expands near Kupiansk, Kharkiv OVA chief Oleg Synehubov is urging residents to evacuate due to the imminent threat posed by advancing Russian forces, which were spotted four kilometers from the city limits.
