Russian Attack in the Orikhiv Direction: Over 25 Units of Equipment Destroyed.

Russian Forces Attacked Ukrainian Armed Forces Positions

According to inkorr.com: Today, October 20, around 14:00, Russian forces attacked the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Orikhiv region. They attacked from two sides: near the village of Mala Tokmachka and Novoandriivka. This was reported by 'Glavkom', citing the Southern Defense Forces.

Destruction of Enemy Equipment

In the area controlled by the 65th Separate Mechanized Brigade 'Velykyi Luh', aerial reconnaissance recorded the movement of 11 armored fighting vehicles (AFVs), one tank, 10 motorcycles, and up to 120 enemy infantry. Thanks to the coordinated work of drones, artillery, and infantry, Ukrainian defenders completely destroyed or damaged a significant part of the enemy's equipment. In particular, six AFVs and eight motorcycles were destroyed in the direction of Novoandriivka, with another five AFVs and one tank sustaining damage.

'The total losses of the enemy's equipment at the junction of the 65th and 118th brigades exceeded 25 units, mostly due to the work of strike drone pilots. The enemy's landing party failed to reach the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. There are no losses among the personnel in the 65th brigade, and no positions have been lost. Combat operations to eliminate the remnants of the enemy are ongoing,' emphasized the Defense Forces.

Massive Attacks on Ukrainian Armed Forces Positions

As reported, the enemy continues to attack the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces near Dobra Pillya. Over the week, there were two massive attacks on the villages of Volodymyrivka and Sofiivka. The Defense Forces note that there has not been such a large-scale attack in this direction for six months, as the large number of drones makes equipment use in battles nearly ineffective for both sides of the front.

Summary: Ukrainian forces successfully repelled the attack of Russian troops in the Orikhiv direction, destroying part of the enemy's equipment. At the same time, the enemy continues attacks on the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in other areas, particularly through massive assaults and drones, which may indicate increasing pressure on Ukrainian forces.
