Situation Update (UTC)

Key reported developments

  • Dnipropetrovsk Oblast — OVA reports 2 killed, 7 injured, ~40 attacks across 6 districts (8 November, 18:30 local, reported 16:30:03 UTC): Governor Oleksandr Hanzhа's official channel reports Russian strikes using drones, artillery, and aerial bombs across Dnipro, Mykolaiv hromada (Dnipro district), Kamianske, Bozhdarivska, Nikopol cluster (Pokrovska, Mahanetska, Myrivska, Chervonohryhorivska hromadas), Synelnykove cluster (Rozdorska, Shakhtarska, Pokrovska), Pavlohrad, and Hrushivska (Kryvyi Rih). One person killed in Dnipro, one on Nikopolshchyna; injuries include a 53-year-old man (outpatient), a 38-year-old woman (hospitalized, medium severity), a 42-year-old man (hospitalized, heavy), and a 51-year-old man (home treatment). Damage to private houses, apartment buildings, infrastructure, a warehouse, and vehicles. An OVA-watermarked photo shows a white sedan with collapsed roof in a residential courtyard beside a multi-storey apartment block. (event time 18:30 local, source: Олександр Ганжа / Дніпропетровська ОДА; timestamp 16:30:03 UTC; confidence MEDIUM for the OVA account as official reporting, LOW for independent verification of all figures)

  • Belgorod Oblast, Russia — two men killed in UAV strikes (reported 16:31:03 UTC): ASTRA relays the regional operational staff: one man killed in a UAV attack on an apartment building (MKD) in Belgorod city on the night of 7 November; a second man died in hospital from injuries sustained in a 31 October UAV strike on Nizhnyа Serebryanka, Rovnyansky district. This is a Russian official acknowledgment of lethal UAV strikes on Russian territory. (source: ASTRA / Belgorod OperShtab; confidence MEDIUM for the statement as relayed, LOW for independent damage verification)

  • Kyiv — MVS announces reserve left–right bank transport schemes effective 9 November (reported 16:34:11 UTC): The Ministry of Internal Affairs introduces traffic redistribution across three bridges: Paton Bridge gets reversible lanes (3 of 5 toward right bank 07:00–10:00, toward left bank 16:00–20:00); Northern Bridge reroutes cargo via Podilskyi crossing while restoring public transport left→right and public transport + passenger cars right→left; Southern Bridge reroutes left→right cargo via Darnytskyi Bridge. RBC-Ukraine (16:35:12) provides matching detail. The triggering cause (repair, damage, or other) is not stated in any supplied source. (source: ЦАПЛІЄНКО_UKRAINE FIGHTS / РБК-Україна; confidence MEDIUM-HIGH for the scheme as an official MVS announcement, LOW for the unstated cause)

  • Air Force: Four additional reactive-UAV alerts (16:15:31, 16:16:45, 16:27:04, 16:37:09 UTC): Повітряні Сили issued warnings for: a reactive UAV from Donetsk direction heading toward Vasylkivka, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast; a UAV toward Kompaniivka and Kamyanyets, Kirovohrad Oblast; a group of reactive UAVs from Black Sea waters heading toward Mykolaiv Oblast; and a reactive UAV toward Bobrovytsia, Chernihiv Oblast. No impacts or interceptions confirmed. (source: Повітряні Сили ЗС України; confidence HIGH for alerts as issued)

  • Lipetsk Oblast, Russia — missile alert issued and lifted (16:11:22, 16:14:48 UTC): Governor Igor Artamonov announced a rocket alert across all of Lipetsk Oblast, then declared the all-clear approximately three minutes later. No impact, interception, or damage was reported. (source: Игорь Артамонов; confidence HIGH for the alert as issued, LOW for any underlying event)

  • Russian Western Grouping milblogger denies breakthroughs at Rubtsovsk direction (16:18:01 UTC): A channel affiliated with the "Запад" grouping states that rumors of "fierce meeting battles" at Kolodezi and Novoe are false, that no "serious, breakthrough successes" exist, and that the sector involves "heavy, viscous work" without results. This is a Russian-origin admission of stalled offensive activity, not an independent verification. (source: Группировка войск «Запад»; confidence LOW for the operational assessment as a single milblogger channel, MEDIUM for the admission's existence)

  • Zelensky OVA video conference: Oleshky rotation, Kramatorsk shelling escalation, Dnipropetrovsk/Zhytomyr energy recovery (16:18:01 UTC): President Zelensky chaired a weekly-format video conference with all OVA heads. Reported items include: Russian personnel/tech rotation into Oleshky and surrounding community "under cover of a humanitarian operation"; night/morning strikes on Dnipropetrovsk power; Zhytomyr grid challenges with a task for the Energy Ministry; "significantly intensified" Russian shelling of Kramatorsk and surrounding community. Two staged photos show Zelensky at a desk with an iMac displaying labeled OVA participant tiles. (source: Михайло Семікін - Запорізька ОВА; confidence HIGH for the meeting's occurrence per official channel and on-screen labels, MEDIUM-LOW for substantive operational claims)

  • Russian MoD restates Chornomorsk and Kamenskaya substation claims (16:35:41 UTC): The Poddubny|Z|O|V channel relays the MoD's daytime report claiming strikes on a container ship and dry-cargo vessel at Chornomorsk port and southwest of Odesa, plus the 330 kV "DDZ-330" substation near Kamenskoye, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. The channel adds narrative framing about port infrastructure and industrial-cluster logic. No Ukrainian confirmation, vessel identification, or facility-level imagery accompanies the claims. This restates the 15:50:20 UTC MoD assertion from the prior SITREP with additional editorial commentary. (source: Поддубный |Z|О|V| / Russian MoD; confidence LOW for all claims as unverified Russian MoD assertions)

Reported situation by area

Dnipropetrovsk Oblast: New evidence: OVA head Hanzhа (16:30:03) reports ~40 attacks across six districts on 8 November with 2 killed and 7 injured, naming specific hromadas and damage types (apartment buildings, private houses, infrastructure, warehouse, vehicles). An OVA-watermarked photo shows a destroyed sedan in a residential courtyard. The prior SITREP noted the Russian MoD's unverified Kamenskaya 330 kV substation claim and the prior daily report's 600,000+ subscriber outage. The OVA's district-level casualty and damage accounting is the most detailed Ukrainian-origin report for this oblast in the current batch. The exact strike times within the 8 November window and the weapon mix per location are not individually specified.

Belgorod Oblast, Russia: New evidence: ASTRA (16:31:03) relays the regional OperShtab on two UAV-related deaths: one in a Belgorod apartment building on the night of 7 November, one in hospital from a 31 October strike in Nizhnyа Serebryanka, Rovnyansky district. No prior Belgorod casualty reporting in the preceding SITREP batch.

Kyiv city: New evidence: MVS reserve transport schemes effective 9 November across Paton, Northern, and Southern bridges (ЦАПЛІЄНКО 16:34:11; РБК-Україна 16:35:12). This updates the prior SITREP's Northern Bridge partial reopening (15:44:55) with a city-wide redistribution plan. The cause prompting "reserve" schemes is not stated. Fighterbomber (16:19:12) mocks a Zelensky proposal for free public transport amid Kyiv outages; this is editorial commentary, not a new operational fact.

Lipetsk Oblast, Russia: New evidence: Governor Artamonov's missile alert (16:11:22) and all-clear (16:14:48). No impact reported. No prior Lipetsk evidence in the preceding batch.

Kirovohrad Oblast: New evidence: Air Force alert (16:16:45) for a UAV heading toward Kompaniivka and Kamyanyets. No prior Kirovohrad-specific evidence in the preceding batch.

Chernihiv Oblast: New evidence: Air Force alert (16:37:09) for a reactive UAV toward Bobrovytsia. This extends the transit corridor indicated by the earlier Olyshivka alert (15:45:58, prior SITREP). No impacts confirmed.

Mykolaiv Oblast: New evidence: Air Force alert (16:27:04) for a group of reactive UAVs from Black Sea waters. No prior Mykolaiv-specific evidence in this batch. The prior SITREP noted a Mykolaiv jet-UAV alert (15:03:23) with no follow-up; this new alert is a separate event.

Kherson Oblast / Oleshky, left bank: New evidence: Zelensky's rotation claim is relayed a fifth time via the OVA meeting post (Семікін 16:18:01) and its detailed analysis (16:18:02). The claim text is consistent with the 15:15:07 presidential statement already in the prior SITREP. No satellite imagery, geolocated convoy footage, or independent OSINT confirmation is supplied. The claim remains a single-source presidential assertion now carried by five relays.

Donetsk Oblast / Rubtsovsk direction: New evidence: Western Grouping channel (16:18:01) denies breakthroughs at Kolodezi and Novoe, describes stalled offensive work. This is a Russian-origin self-assessment, not independently verified.

Donetsk Oblast / Kramatorsk: New evidence: Zelensky's OVA meeting statement (16:18:01) claims "significantly intensified" Russian shelling of Kramatorsk and surrounding community, with countermeasures to be determined. No strike footage, casualty figures, or local official confirmation accompanies this claim in the supplied messages.

Kursk region, Russia: New evidence: Северный канал (16:35:20) publishes a map and narrative about continued fighting near Tetkino across the Seym River, alleging 217th Parachute Regiment attrition in failed attacks, medical-discharge fraud, and careerism-driven losses. The post's internal dating ("already 1.5 years since GSh announcement of full Kursk liberation") is inconsistent with the 2026 reporting context and may reflect recycled or misdated content. No independent verification is supplied.

Areas not mentioned in this batch (Volyn/Lutsk, Rostov/Millerovo, Odesa/Chornomorsk beyond MoD restatement, Poltava, Rivne, Lviv, Sumy beyond prior reporting, Crimea, occupied Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia beyond prior NPP/bridge accounts, Kharkiv beyond prior reporting) are not established to be quiet or unchanged.

(source: Олександр Ганжа / Дніпропетровська ОДА; confidence MEDIUM for the OVA account, LOW for independent verification)

  • Belgorod Oblast UAV strikes (night of 7 November; 31 October): Regional OperShtab reports one man killed in an apartment-building strike in Belgorod city on the night of 7 November, and one man who died in hospital from injuries in a 31 October strike on Nizhnyа Serebryanka. (source: ASTRA / Belgorod OperShtab; confidence MEDIUM for the statement as relayed, LOW for independent verification)

  • Russian MoD restated claims (16:35:41 UTC): Container ship at Chornomorsk port, dry-cargo vessel southwest of Odesa, 330 kV "DDZ-330" substation near Kamenskoye, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. All are single-origin Russian MoD assertions without Ukrainian confirmation, imagery, or vessel identification. The Poddubny channel adds editorial framing about port infrastructure and industrial-cluster targeting logic. (source: Поддубный |Z|О|V| / Russian MoD; confidence LOW for all)

Reported Russian activity

  • Governor Artamonov's Lipetsk missile alert (16:11:22, 16:14:48 UTC): A Russian regional governor issued and lifted a rocket alert across Lipetsk Oblast. The brief duration (approximately three minutes) and absence of reported impact suggest either a false alarm, a transit event, or an interception. No further detail is supplied. (source: Игорь Артамонов; confidence HIGH for the alert as issued)

  • Belgorod OperShtab acknowledges UAV-related deaths (16:31:03 UTC): Russian regional authorities confirmed two fatalities from UAV strikes on Belgorod territory (one on 7 November, one from a 31 October incident). This is an official Russian acknowledgment of lethal Ukrainian-origin drone activity on Russian soil. (source: ASTRA / Belgorod OperShtab; confidence MEDIUM for the statement as relayed)

  • Russian MoD strike claims restated (16:35:41 UTC): The MoD, via the Poddubny|Z|O|V channel, repeats its claims of striking Chornomorsk port vessels and the Kamenskaya substation, now adding the descriptor "DDZ-330" for the substation and narrative about port unloading infrastructure and military-industrial power supply. No new evidence accompanies the restatement. (source: Поддубный |Z|О|V| / Russian MoD; confidence LOW for all claims)

  • Western Grouping milblogger: Rubtsovsk direction assessment (16:18:01 UTC): A channel affiliated with the Russian "Запад" grouping publicly denies breakthroughs at Kolodezi and Novoe, characterizing operations as stalled "viscous work." This is a Russian-origin self-assessment admitting offensive failure in this sector. (source: Группировка войск «Запад»; confidence LOW for the operational assessment, MEDIUM for the admission's existence)

  • Северный канал: Kursk/Tetkino sector narrative (16:35:20 UTC): A Russian milblogger channel publishes a map and anonymous soldier quotes alleging 217th Parachute Regiment attrition in failed cross-Seym attacks near Tetkino, medical-discharge fraud in a Nizhny Novgorod commandant's office, and careerism-driven loss-taking. The post's internal dating references are inconsistent with the 2026 reporting context. No independent verification is supplied. (source: Северный канал; confidence LOW for all specific claims, MEDIUM for the channel's existence and editorial posture)

  • Evrotrans gas-station closures, Moscow region (16:16:01 UTC): ТАСС reports that 40 of 57 "Evrotrans"-operated gas stations in the Moscow region have been sealed, with 17 more expected by the following week. The reason for closure is not stated in the supplied text. This is a Russian domestic commercial/energy story. (source: ТАСС; confidence MEDIUM for the statement as relayed)

Reported Ukrainian activity

  • Air Force alerts (16:15:31, 16:16:45, 16:27:04, 16:37:09 UTC): Four new reactive-UAV warnings issued for Dnipropetrovsk (Vasylkivka), Kirovohrad (Kompaniivka/Kamyanyets), Mykolaiv (Black Sea approach), and Chernihiv (Bobrovytsia) directions. (source: Повітряні Сили ЗС України; confidence HIGH for alerts as issued)

  • Zelensky chairs weekly OVA video conference (16:18:01 UTC): The President directed a coordination meeting covering Sumy, Kharkiv, Dnipropetrovsk, Zhytomyr, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, and Donetsk/Kramatorsk regions. Reported tasks include energy-recovery directives for the Energy Ministry, countermeasures for Kramatorsk shelling, and proposals for Kherson protection. The meeting format is described as now weekly. (source: Михайло Семікін - Запорізька ОВА; confidence HIGH for the meeting's occurrence per official channel and on-screen participant labels, MEDIUM-LOW for substantive operational claims)

  • Kyiv MVS reserve bridge-traffic schemes (16:34:11 UTC): The Ministry of Internal Affairs announces reversible-lane and cargo-rerouting measures across Paton, Northern, and Southern bridges effective 9 November. RBC-Ukraine (16:35:12) provides matching detail with specific lane counts and time windows. (source: ЦАПЛІЄНКО_UKRAINE FIGHTS / РБК-Україна; confidence MEDIUM-HIGH for the announcement)

  • Dnipropetrovsk OVA damage and casualty accounting (16:30:03 UTC): Governor Hanzhа publishes a detailed per-district report of 8 November strikes, naming affected hromadas, damage types, and individual casualty ages/conditions. An OVA-watermarked photo of a destroyed vehicle in a residential courtyard accompanies the text. (source: Олександр Ганжа / Дніпропетровська ОДА; confidence MEDIUM for the OVA account as official reporting)

  • 23rd Separate Mechanized Brigade morale content (16:37:31 UTC): The "Південь" grouping publishes a five-image album featuring a cat as a unit mascot, attributed to the 23rd Separate Mechanized Brigade. This is cultural/morale content, not an operational development. (source: Угруповання військ (сил) "Південь"; confidence LOW-MEDIUM for image authenticity given noted "2026" watermark anomaly and polished visual style)

Civilian and infrastructure impact

  • Dnipropetrovsk Oblast (8 November, per OVA): Two people killed (one in Dnipro, one on Nikopolshchyna), seven injured (ages 38–53, conditions ranging from outpatient to heavy hospitalization). Damage to private houses, multi-apartment buildings, infrastructure, a warehouse, and vehicles across six districts. An OVA-watermarked photo shows a white sedan with a fully collapsed roof in a residential courtyard beside an apartment block. The exact hromada of the photographed vehicle cannot be pinned from the image alone. (source: Олександр Ганжа / Дніпропетровська ОДА; confidence MEDIUM for the OVA account, UNCONFIRMED for independent verification of all figures)

  • Belgorod Oblast, Russia (7 November night; 31 October): Two men killed in UAV strikes: one in an apartment building in Belgorod city, one in hospital from injuries in Nizhnyа Serebryanka, Rovnyansky district. (source: ASTRA / Belgorod OperShtab; confidence MEDIUM for the official acknowledgment, LOW for independent damage verification)

  • Kyiv (9 November, per MVS): Cross-river transport capacity is being actively managed via reversible lanes on Paton Bridge and cargo rerouting via Podilskyi and Darnytskyi bridges. The Northern Bridge retains its prior SITREP lane restrictions (one lane left→right for passenger transport; two lanes right→left for passenger and private vehicles). The cause prompting the reserve schemes is not stated. (source: ЦАПЛІЄНКО / РБК-Україна; confidence MEDIUM-HIGH for the traffic-management announcement)

  • No new Ukrainian civilian casualties are reported in this batch beyond the Dnipropetrovsk OVA figures. The prior SITREP's Lutsk building strike (no casualties mentioned), Kharkiv Kyiv-district injury, and Dnipro residential strike remain previously reported.

Information environment and disputed claims

  • Oleshky rotation: now five relays of one statement (15:15:07, 15:26:22, 15:49:50, 16:06:54, 16:18:01 UTC): The Zelensky claim has been relayed again via the OVA meeting post (Семікін 16:18:01) and its detailed analysis (16:18:02). All carry the same presidential text. The 16:18:02 analysis explicitly flags the claim as "a strong operational assertion with no visual or geolocated evidence." Five text-identical relays remain one presidential assertion, not independent corroboration.

  • Houthi strike on Aramco skyscraper, Riyadh (16:26:01 UTC): Colonelcassad claims a Houthi missile hit an Aramco-branded building in Riyadh, showing video of a facade breach with water spray. The attribution to a Houthi missile is unverified; no impact event, trajectory, or official Saudi confirmation is visible. The source channel has a documented pro-Russian/pro-Iranian editorial posture. This is a non-Ukraine-conflict event noted for completeness. (source: Colonelcassad; confidence LOW for Houthi attribution, MEDIUM for the building damage as depicted)

  • Shark-M drone shot down in Yemen (16:29:26 UTC): Рыбарь claims Houthis shot down a Ukrainian Shark-M reconnaissance drone near Al-Sabih, Lahj province, and links this to Ukrainian drone exports to the Saudi-led coalition. The drone type identification is visually plausible, but the combat-deployment narrative is heavily editorialized. The Il-76MD Lviv–Sharurah flight claim is independently verifiable via ADS-B data but is not confirmed in the supplied messages. The channel uses loaded language ("киевский режим," "404") characteristic of pro-Russian framing. This is a non-Ukraine-conflict claim noted for completeness. (source: Рыбарь; confidence MEDIUM for the drone type identification, LOW for the combat-deployment and export narrative)

  • Guardian / Ukraine exo-atmospheric interceptor and Obria Nano satellite (16:34:58 UTC): ЦАПЛІЄНКО relays a Guardian-sourced claim of at least three tests of exo-atmospheric interception systems for Oreshnik counter, plus a launch of the Obria Nano satellite as the first unit of a planned 245-satellite constellation. The attached image is a stock CGI illustration, not a photograph of the named satellite. No Guardian URL, article date, launch site, or orbital parameters are provided. The prior SITREP noted a similar claim via Alex Parker Returns (15:40:17) with unverified additions. The underlying Guardian article's existence is plausible but the specific technical claims are unverified from the supplied content. (source: ЦАПЛІЄНКО_UKRAINE FIGHTS; confidence LOW for the interceptor tests and satellite launch as stated, MEDIUM for the Guardian article's existence)

  • Russian milblogger admissions vs. MoD claims: The Western Grouping channel (16:18:01) publicly denies breakthroughs at Rubtsovsk, while Северный канал (16:35:20) alleges 217 PDP attrition in Kursk. These are Russian-origin self-critical assessments. They coexist with Russian MoD strike claims (16:35:41) that remain unverified. The internal tension between milblogger admissions of failure and MoD claims of success is noted but not resolved.

  • Mobilization / draft-evader scheme (16:19:16 UTC): Colonelcassad claims Ukrainian politicians are proposing a 90-day grace period for returning draft evaders before TCC enforcement. No Ukrainian official source confirms this scheme. The claim is attributed to "politicians" without naming specific actors. (source: Colonelcassad; confidence LOW for the scheme's existence or specifics)

  • Fighterbomber Kyiv-transport mockery (16:19:12 UTC): A Russian channel mocks Zelensky's free public transport proposal amid Kyiv outages. This is editorial commentary, not a new operational fact.

  • UK Defence Chief / FT report (16:19:58 UTC): Операция Z relays an FT article quoting UK Chief of the Defence Staff Richard Knighton admitting London's military preparedness against Russia trails European allies, with a planned agreement aboard HMS Prince of Wales. The underlying FT reporting is verifiable through Western sources; the Russian channel's framing emphasizes "Western weakness." The specific claim about a Tuesday signing is not independently confirmed in the supplied materials. (source: Операция Z / FT; confidence MEDIUM-HIGH for the FT article's existence, LOW for the "Tuesday" signing detail)

  • Georgia deportation statistics (16:29:21 UTC): SOTA reports 109 Russians deported from Georgia July–September, 254 year-to-date versus 73 in all of 2025. This is a background geopolitical data point, not a conflict-theater event. (source: SOTA; confidence MEDIUM for the figures as reported)

Evidence limitations and unresolved questions

  • Dnipropetrovsk OVA report: The 2-killed/7-injured figures and ~40-attack count are a single official-origin account. The photo's specific hromada cannot be geolocated from the image alone. The exact strike times within the 8 November window, the weapon mix per location, and the relationship between this report and the prior daily's 600,000+ subscriber outage are not established. No Air Force interception data accompanies the OVA account.

  • Belgorod deaths: The OperShtab statements are official Russian acknowledgments but lack independent imagery, satellite comparison, or Ukrainian confirmation. Whether the 7 November and 31 October incidents are part of a broader wave or isolated events is not established from the supplied text.

  • Kyiv bridge schemes: The MVS announcement is corroborated by RBC-Ukraine detail, but the triggering cause (repair, war-related damage, or other) is not stated in any supplied source. The effective date (9 November) carries a template anomaly ("3 09.11.2026") noted in the ЦАПЛІЄНКО analysis. On-ground enforcement is unverified.

  • Lipetsk alert: The three-minute alert duration and absence of reported impact leave the underlying event (if any) unresolved. No Air Force or Russian MoD follow-up is supplied.

  • Kramatorsk shelling escalation: Zelensky's claim of "significantly intensified" shelling (16:18:01) has no accompanying strike footage, casualty figures, or local official confirmation in the supplied messages.

  • Oleshky rotation: Five text-identical relays remain one presidential assertion. No satellite imagery, geolocated convoy footage, or intercepted communications are supplied. The timing, scale, composition, and "humanitarian operation" framing remain undefined.

  • Russian MoD claims (Chornomorsk, Kamenskaya): Repeated a third time without new evidence. Vessel identities, damage extent, and substation-level verification remain absent. The "DDZ-330" designation is new to this batch but does not constitute independent corroboration.

  • Western Grouping / Северный канал assessments: Both are Russian-origin milblogger channels with editorial agendas. The Rubtsovsk denial and Kursk attrition narrative cannot be independently verified from the supplied materials. Северный канал's internal dating ("1.5 years since GSh Kursk liberation announcement") is inconsistent with the 2026 reporting context, raising questions about whether the content is current or recycled.

  • Guardian / space claims: No Guardian URL, article date, launch site, or orbital parameters are provided. The attached image is stock CGI. The prior SITREP's Alex Parker Returns variant (15:40:17) added unverified specifics to the same underlying Guardian article. The technical feasibility of an independent national exo-atmospheric interceptor program within wartime constraints is not addressed by the supplied evidence.

  • Houthi/Aramco and Shark-M/Yemen claims: Both are non-Ukraine-conflict events. Attribution, timing, and causal chains are unverified. They are noted for completeness but do not bear on the Russo-Ukrainian war's operational picture.

  • Mobilization scheme: Colonelcassad's 90-day grace-period claim has no Ukrainian official source and no named politicians. Its existence, scope, and status are entirely unverified.

  • Weather (Open-Meteo, 16:30 UTC, 8 Nov): Kharkiv/Vovchansk 2.1 °C, overcast, wind 1.6 m/s, cloud 100%, precip 0.0 mm; Luhansk/Svatove 0.3 °C, overcast, wind 1.3 m/s, cloud 63%, precip 0.0 mm; Donetsk/Pokrovsk −0.5 °C, mainly clear, wind 0.9 m/s, cloud 5%, precip 0.0 mm; Zaporizhzhia/Orikhiv 0.9 °C, partly cloudy, wind 0.9 m/s, cloud 53%, precip 0.0 mm; Kherson 3.0 °C, partly cloudy, wind 0.5 m/s, cloud 66%, precip 0.0 mm. No current precipitation at any reference point. Daily forecast: light rain (25% probability, 0.2 mm) at Vovchansk; overcast at Svatove, Pokrovsk, Orikhiv, Kherson.
