The Russian army shells the Ukrainian-controlled bank of the Dnipro almost every day. Apparently too few families responded to a call to seek safety. The authorities are now taking coercive measures to evacuate.

After massive Russian shelling, authorities in the southern Ukrainian region of Kherson have ordered a forced evacuation of families with children. This affects a good two dozen communities and the city of Beryslaw on the Dnipro River, the regional administration announced on Telegram on Monday. The message does not say how many people will be affected by this. So far, only 450 children and their relatives have followed an official request from mid-September to seek safety.

Because of refusals, coercive measures are now necessary, it is said. The regulation became necessary because of almost daily artillery shelling and the intensive use of glide bombs by the Russian Air Force once morest targets on the Ukrainian-controlled bank of the Dnipro. Civilians were repeatedly killed and injured.

On Sunday, more than 60 enemy attacks were repelled in the south and east of the country, including in the Kupyansk and Lyman front sectors in the east as well as Avdiivka and Marinka near Donetsk and in the city of Zaporizhzhia in the southeast. The General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces reported this on Facebook on Sunday evening. It said 82 combat operations took place at the front. “The operational situation in the east and south of Ukraine remains difficult.” The front is around 1,000 kilometers long.

On Monday night, an air alarm was also raised in the Ukrainian capital Kiev for around two hours due to the risk of Russian drone attacks. A total of 14 drones and one cruise missile fired by the Russian military were intercepted in the south and east of Ukraine during the night. “Western weapons have proven and continue to demonstrate their effectiveness on the battlefield,” Mykola Oleshchuk, the commander of the Ukrainian Air Force, wrote on Telegram.

In the port of Odessa, falling debris hit a warehouse following drones were shot down. Nine Shahed drones were intercepted in the oblast of the same name, regional governor Oleh Kiper said on Telegram. No one was injured by the drone debris.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj said in his evening video address that Ukraine needs results every day – therefore constant advance on the front is important. “Whether just by a kilometer, whether by 500 meters, but forward every day to improve the Ukrainian positions, to put pressure on the occupiers,” Zelensky said. The fighting for Avdiivka and Marjinka near the eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk is currently particularly tough.
