In the Yahidka dacha area southeast of Kostyantynivka, the Russians were kicked out as a result of stabilization actions prolonged for a couple of weeks.
The last proof of Russian presence here dates back to at least 7-10 days ago.

Kostyantynivka direction.
Talking generally, no big news in the last few days here, except a few things.
Russians are making heavy use of FPVs.
They continue consolidating their positions in Stupochky, and continue to be recorded by Ukrainian air recon in the red square between Ivanopillia and Oleksandro-Shultyne.
Lately it was possible to notice a decrease in Russian shelling on Santurynivka district of Kostyantynivka compared to previous times, where they were bombarding it 24/7 with everything they had.
Now, it's mostly KABs and Grad fire.
The decrease is probably related to the fact that they were pushed back from the Yahidka dachas, and that when they were shelling it heavily in the past, my suspicions about considering it preparation for an assault were correct.

About the geolocation in Shcherbynivka featuring Ukrainian positions.
This Ukrainian position, probably just like some others that we still don't know of, is situated behind Russian-controlled lines, and is encircled, only receiving supplies from drones. The geolocation should not be intended as proof of Ukrainian control over the northernmost part of Shcherbynivka.

Якось Купʼянськ знову зник з інформаційного простору.

Але ж ситуація "срака" там не закінчувалася аж ніяк.

Дуже мені не подобається ця тенденційність.

Малі групи ворога там майже по всьому правому берегу міста порозбігалися.

Десь їх викурили, десь - оточили, десь - захопили в полон.

Але ситуація відверто погана.

Купʼянськ взагалі ніяк не можна втрачати, бо проблеми набудуть оперативно-тактичного значення, і ворог матиме широкі можливості по відновленню позицій, які вони займали до Харьківської офензиви серпня-вересня 2022 року.

А ми забуваємо за Купʼянськ і згадаємо знову тоді, коли вчергове запахне смаженим.

Ось тільки справа в тому, що смаженим там пахнути не переставало.

There is also encouraging information in favor of Ukrainian forces regarding Oleksiivka (Sumy). I will publish everything soon.

Sumy Oblast'. According to information from the field.
Russian forces have been suffering heavy casualties in Oleksiivka for about a month, but they've decided to fall back only in recent days because of inadequate decisions from their command.
Currently, Ukrainian forces are trying to clear the abandoned areas and advance further into the village.
Further east, near Yunakivka, battles are positional, and both sides are on the defense: the Russians consolidate their positions in the town, and the Ukrainians deny the Russians any advancement southeast of Yunakivka near the Sadky forests.

Oleksandro-Kalynove, south of Kostyantynivka.
Ukrainian air reconnaissance continues to detect Russian infiltrations in the marked area, Russian presence has been detected many times in the last periods. The area remains a gray zone, without Russian consolidation.

Furthermore, the Ukrainians expect the Russians to cross the Kleban-Byk reservoir soon with their inflatable rubber boats, just like the Ukrainians did while retreating.

Ворог має успіхи на південно-східних підходах до м. Сіверськ та в районі с. Дронівка.

В саме село поки тільки короткочасно забігають ворожі піхотні групи по 3-4 хряка, доки не здохнуть.

Novopavlivka direction, Ivanivka-Havrylivka sector.
In the past couple of weeks, the situation here worsened significantly for the Ukrainian side, even more than what's shown on public maps and posts.
Lately, the Russians continued their offensive actions in Ivanivka settlement itself, somehow being able to effectively overcome 3 ditches, 3 barbed wire lines, a river, gaining a foothold and even expanding it under extremely heavy Ukrainian UAV coverage.
In this direction, the Ukrainians suffer a lack of infantry to hold positions, and this has proven problematic on 2 occasions. One is public and the other is not.

1. Russian infiltrations into western Iskra near the destroyed bridge. The video that regards this failed Russian infiltration attempt was already published by DeepState here (https://t.me/DeepStateUA/22614) just yesterday.
2. The second event, that wasn't made public, happened on October 12th. A Russian DRG team infiltrated the thinly manned Ukrainian lines in an unspecified forest or treeline near Havrylivka and Pidhavrylivka between the Vovcha river and the Kamyanka river. They proceeded to ambush a position of Ukrainian "Vampire" heavy drone operators of a certain brigade (can't say the number), take them prisoner, and retreat back.

A further worsening of the situation in this area is expected, and this situation should not be taken lightly by the Ukrainian command. I would like to remind that if the Russians were to take control of any of the big forest areas present in this direction, it will not be possible to knock them out, and instead, the Russians will have an almost completely safe accumulation place to continue their offensive operations to the semi-operational space behind the rivers.
