Ukraine strikes Russian miliatry facility near Moscow ¦

Ladies and gentlemen, this is TVP World. You're watching another edition of Military Mind, bringing you news from the frontlines. I'm your host, Benjamin Lee. The early morning hours of October 22nd brought intense attacks and widespread destruction in both Ukraine and Russia as the two countries exchanged strikes targeting infrastructure. Russian forces launched a large-scale combined attack on Ukraine using missiles of various types and more than 200 drones. The main target was the Ukrainian capital Kyiv, where residential buildings, vehicles, housing infrastructure, and transport facilities were damaged. Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko reported that the strikes damaged part of the city's metro infrastructure on the Pivdenny Bridge. According to local authorities, one person was killed and more than 20 others were wounded. Russia's defense ministry claimed that its strikes on Kyiv had targeted Ukrainian defense industry facilities involved in producing and storing cruise missiles and medium and long-range drones, as well as transport infrastructure. In the Odessa region, Russian forces struck a food production facility, sparking a fire that destroyed an administrative building. In response, Ukrainian forces launched drone attacks on several Russian regions, including Moscow and the surrounding area. In Serpukhov, near Moscow, a Russian defense ministry facility producing weapons and ammunition reportedly came under attack. Ukraine's open-source intelligence analysts claim that the Moscow region was targeted not only with drones but also with missiles. Ukrainian drones also struck Lipetsk. In the regional capital, windows and facades of private homes and apartment buildings were damaged alongside a medical clinic. The attack also sparked a fire on the upper floors of a building and a residential complex. Turning now to the front lines, Ukraine's defense forces have carried out an underground counter-offensive operation, codenamed Velis, in the Kupyansk sector. Ukrainian troops reportedly advanced more than 15 kilometers through underground utility networks into the Russian rear. The operation combined underground advances with ground maneuvers and drone strikes, preventing Russian forces from infiltrating behind Ukrainian positions in Kupyansk. Russian troops had reportedly planned to use gas pipelines to reach the rear of Ukrainian defensive lines. Further south, Russia's defense ministry announced that its forces had captured Dobropillia in its entirety. To support the claim, the ministry released several videos showing Russian assault troops inside the city. At the same time, Ukraine's armed forces have published footage of their own strikes against Russian troops operating inside Dobropillia. Russian units attacking from the south have reportedly reached the city center, while another group advancing from the east has reached the northern outskirts through the village of Hanivka. A third Russian force is advancing between Dobropillia and the Pokrovsk-Napal Highway, threatening to outflank the entire areas from the west. The apparent objective is to create a breach between the Ukrainian Azov formation defending Dobropillia and the forces holding positions in the eastern part of the Dnipro region. On October 21, another incident of so-called technical demilitarization occurred in Russia's Kaliningrad region, where Su-30 multirole fighter jets of the Russian Aerospace Forces crashed during a flight. According to available information, their aircraft went down in a wooded area between the villages of Tymivka and Zelenybir. Both Russian pilots managed to eject at the last moment but suffered injuries of varying severity upon landing. Following news of the crash, reports soon emerged of another Su-30 crash in Russia, with no details provided aside from the fact that both pilots died. If you want to see a textbook definition of a target-rich environment, then this one takes the top prize. On the southern front from the Kherson region to temporarily occupied Crimea, the Ukrainian defense forces launched a devastating series of combined strikes using unmanned aerial systems against the most vulnerable assets of the Russian army. Ukrainian operators targeted a wide range of strategic facilities south of the village of Ulianivka in the Kherson region and on the Crimean Peninsula. As a result of this precision operation, the enemy's UAV production and repair facilities, a deployment site for Russian Federation airborne units, components of a high-cost radar network, a long-range reconnaissance and strike drone, as well as key rocket, artillery, and air defense systems were all destroyed. Recently published footage shows Ukrainian Defense Forces soldiers demonstrating extraordinary determination to survive and professionalism while carrying out an extremely difficult combat mission. Near the Zaporizhzhia Front, a Russian FPV suicide drone struck a Ukrainian military vehicle with pinpoint accuracy. The explosion caused significant damage to the vehicle, which caught fire while still moving. However, the crew assessed the situation and realized that stopping in an area exposed to Russian aerial surveillance would mean certain death, so they decided to keep moving. Despite the flames, the soldiers managed to drive through the gray zone and cover another 20 kilometers to reach a safe location, successfully escaping Russian fire. Recently, a catastrophic incident occurred along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. According to reports, a shell exploded inside the barrel of a Pakistani army howitzer as the crew attempted to fire the weapon. The blast was so powerful that it destroyed the artillery piece, turned the gun into a pile of twisted metal, and killed its crew of three. from the Signum battalion of the armed forces of Ukraine carried out another series of precise and devastating strikes against Russian military assets during routine combat operations aerial reconnaissance operators and the strike drone pilots from the Signum battalion targeted and destroyed a number of key Russian assets using FPV suicide drones and heavy munitions they struck a Russian river vessel mobile fire groups a large truck and several passengers and cargo vehicles used by Russian forces to transport ammunition and supplies and with that footage we conclude this edition of Military Mind but for more news updates and commentary please stay tuned to TBP World
