Ukraine's South Group of Forces said Russian troops are still trying to advance toward Orikhiv in Zaporizhzhia Oblast using small infantry groups that slip forward to get close to the city. Ukraine's Defense Forces detected these groups on the approaches to the city and engaged them with fire. According to deputy spokesperson Anastasiia Shevchenko, as quoted by Ukrinform, Orikhiv remains under Ukrainian control and Russian infiltration attempts have failed, with losses for the attackers. She said that since the beginning of November, South Group units had eliminated 2,650 Russian troops and destroyed 1,340 pieces of enemy weapons and equipment. Ukrinform reported the claims, which have not been independently verified.
