Overview
- Ukraine’s General Staff logged 164 combat engagements on November 6 and reported one missile strike, 37 airstrikes, 95 guided bombs, roughly 2,700 kamikaze drones, and 3,839 shelling incidents.
- Roughly a third of the day’s fighting occurred on the Pokrovsk axis, where Ukrainian units report holding key positions as analysts cite localized Russian advances inside the city.
- Independent assessments vary on Russian control in Pokrovsk, with some estimates placing it at 60–85 percent, while Ukrainian forces continue counteractions and deny encirclement claims.
- Southern Forces said reports of Russian captures in Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhia were inaccurate, noting heavy battles as Ukraine holds Pavlivka, retains a gray zone near Plavni, and adapts to infiltration attempts around Primorske and Uspenivka.
- A Russian drone strike in Dnipro wounded four people, a Zaporizhia court gave a Russian soldier a life sentence for executing a surrendering POW, prosecutors will appeal a separate acquittal, and President Zelensky honored a robotic medevac team and signaled expanded ground‑drone production.
