To your attention — operational information from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as of 06.00 on October 2, 2022 regarding the Russian invasion into our country.

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

The enemy continues to concentrate its efforts on attempts to occupy Donetsk Oblast, maintaining control over seized territories, as well as disrupting active operations of the Armed Forces at certain fronts. The adversary is shelling our positions along the line of contact, conducting aerial reconnaissance. It strikes civilian infrastructure and residential areas, violating international humanitarian law, laws, and customs of war. There remains a threat of enemy air and missile strikes across all of Ukraine's territory.

Over the past day, the adversary carried out four missile and sixteen air strikes, conducted more than 75 artillery attacks with multiple rocket launchers on military and civilian objects in Ukraine.

Partial mobilization announced by the military-political leadership of the Russian Federation continues. Since September 30, this year's military units based on temporarily occupied territory in Crimea have been brought to full combat readiness and are conducting measures for dispersing subunits. It is known that a motorized rifle division is being formed on the peninsula from demobilized male population of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, Krasnodar Krai, and the Republic of Adygea.

The arrival at permanent station of about two thousand demobilized individuals to the 810th separate marine infantry brigade based in Sevastopol was noted.

In the city of Budennovsk, Stavropol Krai, up to five thousand people arrived at the 205th separate motor rifle brigade of the 49th Combined Arms Army of the Southern Military District through mobilization. It is known that about three thousand are stationed in permanent station points and the rest — in a tent camp on the Nikolay-Alexander range. Training with combat preparation has begun with this manpower.

Over the day, subunits of the Armed Forces repelled enemy attacks in the areas of populated places Kozacha Lopan', Viyimka, Bakhmutskoye, Bakhmut, Vesela Dolyna and Pervomaiskoye.

To support ground forces operations, aviation of the Armed Forces carried out 29 strikes over the past day.

In addition, our anti-aircraft subunits shot down two drones.
