Ukrainian Defense Forces strike three Russian command posts with Storm Shadow missiles and GMLRS rockets
According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Ukrainian forces successfully hit three Russian command posts using Storm Shadow missiles and GMLRS rockets, Rubryka reports.
"Recently, we inflicted effective fire damage on the command posts of the 35th and 27th separate motorized rifle brigades, as well as one command post of the 2nd Combined Arms Army of the Russian Federation. The results of the strikes are still being verified," the military stated.
The strikes were carried out by units from Ukraine's Air Force, missile forces, and artillery, working in coordination with other elements of the Defense Forces.

Frontline situation
On October 4, Russian forces launched intense assaults on Ukrainian positions in the Kupyansk and Kurakhivsk directions, with Ukrainian defenders successfully repelling 50 attacks, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In total, 159 combat clashes occurred along the front.
In response, Ukraine's Air and Missile Forces, along with artillery units, targeted:
- Eight areas of personnel, weapons, and military equipment concentration
- Anti-aircraft defense systems
- One artillery piece in a firing position
- Three command posts
- One UAV control point
- One Russian radar system
The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) reports that Russian forces lack sufficient manpower and material resources to maintain intensive offensive operations indefinitely in certain sectors of the front. As a result, they are unlikely to achieve operationally significant successes.
However, British intelligence suggests that Russian forces may continue their offensive in the Donetsk region, with Vuhledar already captured. The nearby village of Bohoyavlenka and the larger settlement of Velyka Novosilka are considered to be at risk.
Since the start of the full-scale invasion, Russian forces have lost over 659,200 soldiers. On October 4 alone, Ukraine's Defense Forces eliminated nearly 1,300 Russian troops.
