The situation in the Volyn and Polissya directions has not changed significantly. The Republic of Belarus continues to support the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, accepts and hosts Russian servicemen, and provides training grounds. There is still a threat of Russia’s launching strikes and using attack UAVs from the territory and airspace of the Republic of Belarus.
Russian troops shelled in such directions:

The Russian forces continue to grossly violate the laws and customs of warfare against the civilian population. In the Kherson region, private boats are being destroyed en masse on the banks of the Dnipro. Engines and other property from watercraft are appropriated by Russian soldiers. After the sinking of civilian ships, part of the fuel got into the river delta and directly threatens the ecosystem of the Nizhnyodniprovskyi National Nature Park.
Forced evacuation of the population from temporarily occupied territories continues. In the settlement of Beryslav, local residents were ordered to leave by November 10.

Thus, in the settlement of Kakhovka, an attack was made on a building where up to 200 Russian soldiers were stationed.
