Note to your attention — operational information from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as of 06.00 on September 30, 2022, regarding the Russian invasion of our country.

Glory to Ukraine! The two hundred and nineteenth day of heroic resistance of the Ukrainian nation against the Russian military invasion has begun.

The enemy continues to concentrate efforts on fully occupying Donetsk Oblast and holding onto seized territories, as well as halting active operations of the Defense Forces on certain fronts. The adversary is shelling our troops' positions along the line of contact, conducting aerial reconnaissance. It strikes civilian infrastructure and residential areas inhabited by peaceful civilians, violating international humanitarian law, laws, and customs of war.

Over the past day, Russian occupiers delivered five missile and eleven air strikes, carried out over 100 artillery attacks with multiple rocket launchers on military and civilian objects within our country's territory.

As a result of enemy strikes, nearly 50 populated areas were affected. Among them are Sloviansk, Kramatorsk, Bakhmut, Dnipro, Krivoy Rog, Mykolaiv, Nikopol, Voznesensk, Pavlivka, Vishopyllya, Bilohirka, and Mирне.

On the Volynian and Polesian fronts, there were no significant changes in the situation. At the same time, since September 21, a verification of radio-technical support means for airfield networks has been underway in the Republic of Belarus, which indirectly may indicate the possibility of using Belarusian airports by Russian Federation armed forces. Also, a rotation of aviation units from the joint training center for preparing air and ground forces and anti-aircraft defense forces of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation took place with three out of four existing multi-purpose destroyers Su-30M being replaced. The threat of missile and air strikes from the territory and airspace of the Republic of Belarus remains.

On other fronts, the enemy carried out shelling with tanks, mortars, artillery guns, and multiple rocket launchers:

on the Northern front — in the areas of the populated places Senkivka and Sosnovka in Chernihiv Oblast and Novovasylivka and Pavlivka in Sumy Oblast;

on the Slobozhansky front — in the areas of the populated places Petro-Pavlivka and Kurilivka;

on the Kramatorsk front — in the areas of the populated places Bogorodichne, Blue Lakes, Shchurove, Dibrova, and Ozerne;

on the Bakhmut front — in the areas of the populated places Verkhnyokamyanske, Viyimka, Spirene, Vesele, Bilohorivka, Yakovlika, Sverdlovsk, Bakhmut, Otradivka, Zaytseve, Pivnichne, and Mayorshchyna;

on the Avdiyivka front — in the areas of the populated places Tonikha, Avdiyivka, Netailove, Perevomayskaya, Opitne, Krasnogorivka, Mariinka, and Novomykhailivka.

On the Novopavlivsky and Zaporizhzhya fronts, active offensive actions by the enemy were not carried out. Shelling with tanks, mortars, artillery guns, and multiple rocket launchers was recorded in the areas of the populated places Novopol, Prechystivka, Vuhledar, Pavlivka, Mikilske, Zaliznychnye, Green Garden, Dorozhnya, and Novoukrayinka.

On the Southern Buzhsky front, areas of over 50 populated places along the line of contact were shelled. Among them are Arkhangelskoye, Bylousovka, Dry Stavok, Shiroke, Bezimenne, Kvitnevye, Ivanivka, Zorya, Olhynya, Limany, Blagodatnoye, Pravdino, Mирне, and Oleksandrivka.

Occupation authorities in temporarily occupied territories force local residents to obtain citizenship and passports of the Russian Federation. Thus, in Mariupol, teachers of educational institutions are threatened with dismissal if they refuse to exchange their Ukrainian passport for a Russian one; other residents are allowed not to surrender their Ukrainian passport when obtaining a Russian one. In Tokaryvka, Kherson Oblast, occupiers warned that those who do not obtain passports of the Russian Federation by October 1 will be subject to deportation and evacuation from occupied territories.

In Kherson, occupiers have evacuated residents of several dormitories for further occupation by Russian military personnel arriving to reinforce units on this front.

According to updated information, over the past few days, enemy losses were confirmed on certain fronts as follows:

In the populated place Bakhmutivka in Luhansk Oblast, more than 50 servicemen of the enemy died and 17 units of enemy equipment were destroyed as a result of an attack on their concentration area;

Additionally, our anti-aircraft defense units shot down seven drones, including five from Iran's production, one Mi-8 helicopter, and a Su-25 ground attack aircraft.
