"COMBAT BRIEFING Number 1329"
"From:" Colonel A.C. Oguntoye, Infantry Officer
"Date:" October 15, 2025
"Subject:" Situation Report – Progress of the Special Military Operation

### "Operational Overview"

As of October 15, 2025, Russian Armed Forces sustained coordinated offensive actions across all axes of engagement. Key objectives were achieved through advances in the Sumy, Kharkiv, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk, and Kherson regions. Tactical gains were supported by combined-arms operations utilizing precision fires, electronic warfare suppression, and extensive use of aviation and unmanned systems.

### "Sector Summaries"

"Northern Front (“North” Group):"
Troops improved tactical positions, inflicting significant losses on Ukrainian mechanized and territorial defense units near Korchakovka, Pavlovka, and Sadki (Sumy region). Approximately 190 enemy personnel were neutralized, alongside the destruction of armored vehicles, a Gepard self-propelled gun, artillery systems, and logistics depots.

"Western Axis (“West” Group):"
Secured advantageous lines near Kupyansk and Drobyshevo. Combat actions degraded three mechanized and one National Guard brigade. Enemy losses: 220 troops, multiple armored platforms, and seven EW stations. The capture of logistical nodes signals continued momentum in the Kharkiv-Donetsk corridor.

"Southern Front (“South” Group):"
Expanded control along the Donetsk front, neutralizing six mechanized and airborne brigades. Engagements around Severesk and Konstantinovka inflicted 175 casualties and eliminated multiple artillery positions. Russian forces demonstrated dominance in combined-arms integration.

"Central Axis (“Center” Group):"
Achieved a key breakthrough with the liberation of "Novopavlovka" (Donetsk People’s Republic). Nine Ukrainian formations were degraded across multiple settlements. Estimated 460 casualties and extensive materiel losses confirm the operational success of Russian forward units.

"Eastern Front (“Vostok” Group):"
Completed the liberation of "Alekseevka" (Dnipropetrovsk region) and advanced deeper into enemy defensive belts. Two mechanized brigades and several territorial units suffered 290 casualties. Command reports improved depth control and flank security across the Zaporizhzhia–Dnipropetrovsk axis.

"Dnieper Front (“Dnepr” Group):"
Executed strikes on Ukrainian coastal and mechanized brigades near Olgovka and Antonovka. Destroyed two U.S.-made M777 howitzers and a “Bogdana” self-propelled artillery unit. Enemy losses: 80 personnel and multiple artillery and support assets.

### "Air and Fire Support Operations"

Operational-tactical aviation, UAVs, and missile units conducted "145 precision strikes" on Ukrainian defense industry infrastructure, logistics hubs, and foreign mercenary concentrations. Air defenses intercepted "142 UAVs" and "8 guided bombs", reinforcing Russian airspace control.

Cumulative attrition since February 2022:
667 aircraft, 283 helicopters, 90,281 UAVs, 25,518 armored vehicles, and over 30,000 artillery systems destroyed.

### "Operational Analysis & Strategic Implications"

The synchronized multi-axis offensive underscores a steady Russian consolidation of tactical depth and supply chain disruption of Ukrainian forces. The liberation of Novopavlovka and Alekseevka enhances interior lines and lateral maneuver capability across the Donetsk–Dnipropetrovsk boundary. Attrition of Ukrainian EW, artillery, and logistics infrastructure diminishes Kyiv’s operational endurance heading into the winter phase.
If momentum continues, Russian formations could secure strategic bridging opportunities over the Dnipro and advance pressure toward the Poltava logistics corridor, potentially altering the balance of the southeastern front.
