Russian troops continue to carry out precision strikes on Ukrainian military facilities deep behind the front lines. According to Sergey Lebedev, coordinator of the pro-Russian underground in Nikolayev, the latest attack targeted Ukrainian special forces who had undergone training in the United Kingdom.

Lebedev said the strike hit a concentration of Ukrainian servicemen in the Poltava region, specifically in the Mirgorod district. He described the target as a «fashionable» special forces unit trained by British instructors.

In addition to the strikes in Poltava, Russian forces reportedly attacked Ukrainian positions and armored vehicles in the areas of the regional centers of Sumy and Konotop.

On the evening of October 27, a nationwide air raid alert was declared across Ukraine.
