UKRAINE: THE SITUATION 629 - NOVEMBER 12, 2023

Ukraine appears to be intensifying its attacks on Russian military, logistical, and other key facilities in the occupied areas of Ukraine and Russia.

The Ukrainian military main intelligence service (GUR) reports on November 12 that Ukrainian partisans attacked a Russian military headquarters in the occupied Melitopol in Zaporizhzhia Oblast on November 11, killing at least three Russian officers from the Federal Security Service (FSB) and the Rosguard. GUR's announcement on November 12 follows a Ukrainian partisan attack on a former leader of the People's Militia of the Luhansk People's Republic (LPR) on November 8, attacks on a Russian military base in the occupied Skadovsk (Kherson Region) and facilities of the Black Sea Fleet in Crimea on November 9, as well as three attacks on rear areas and partisan attacks in Russia on November 11. The Ukrainian armed forces have been conducting a targeted offensive campaign against the occupied Crimea since the summer of 2023.
