The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine announced on November 10 that a total of 156 combat clashes took place along the front lines during the previous day. According to the military report, which was compiled as of 8:00 a.m. on the 10th, the most intense fighting occurred in the Pokrovsk and Kostiantynivka regions.
These two eastern sectors bore the brunt of Russian military activity. The Ukrainian command noted that Russian forces launched a combined total of 22 attacks across the Pokrovsk and Kostiantynivka fronts. This concentration of offensive operations suggests that these areas remain the primary focus of Russian ground maneuvers.
On the Pokrovsk front specifically, Russian troops carried out 13 separate attacks. The offensive efforts were directed at various settlements, with attempts to advance near Vilne, Svitle, and Molodetske. Additionally, Russian forces pushed towards the locations of Myrne, Serhiivka, and Novopavlivka in an effort to gain ground.
The Kostiantynivka front recorded nine distinct Russian attacks. Military reports indicate that offensive operations were conducted near the settlements of Kostiantynivka, Dovha Balka, and Rusyn Yar. Russian forces also moved towards Mykolaipillia as part of their broader advance in this sector.
In the northern regions, activity was observed on the North Slobozhanshchyna front and within the operational zone of Russia’s Kursk Oblast. Russian aircraft conducted three airstrikes, dropping five guided aerial bombs. Furthermore, 52 strikes were registered on Ukrainian military positions and civilian settlements, with one of these strikes originating from multiple launch rocket systems.
On the South Slobozhanshchyna front, Ukrainian defenders successfully repelled six Russian attacks. The Russian forces attempted to advance towards the settlements of Okhrimivka, Khrypuny, and Mala Vovcha, as well as the areas near Starytsia and Chuhunivka, but were held back by Ukrainian units.
Other sectors experienced varying levels of engagement. On the Lyman front, Ukrainian troops repelled Russian attempts to break through defensive lines, including six attacks near the village of Zarichne and towards Lyman itself. The Sloviansk front saw two Russian attacks near Yampil and towards Pyskunivka, while the Kramatorsk front recorded three assaults near Tykhonivka and towards Vasiutynske.
In the southern and central parts of the front, combat was less frequent. The Huliaipole front witnessed two Russian attacks aimed at advancing towards Nove Zaporizhzhia, and a single attack was recorded near Stepove on the Orikhiv front. Notably, no assaults were conducted by Russian forces on the Kupiansk, Oleksandrivka, or Prydniprovske fronts.
Military intelligence also monitored the western sectors, specifically the Volyn and Polissia fronts. Ukrainian commanders reported that there is currently no evidence of offensive Russian groups being formed in these areas, indicating a relative lack of immediate threat in that part of the border.
