RFE: Russia Launches More Drones Into Central Ukraine As Fierce Fighting Under Way In The East
Russia launched fresh drone attacks on targets in central Ukraine as Kyiv's forces fought pitched battles in the east and Moscow-appointed authorities continued to evacuate people from Kherson in the south in apparent preparation to stave off a potential Ukrainian offensive.
The General Staff of the Ukrainian armed forces said on November 5 that its forces managed to stop Russian attacks the previous day in the Luhansk and Donetsk regions in the east.
The Ukrainian military, meanwhile, said it launched 11 strikes against Russian positions, while Ukrainian air defenses shot down an Orlan-10 drone, 11 Shahed-136 drones, and two Kalibr cruise missiles.

WNU Editor: While there has been fighting along much of the front-lines, there has been no major push to gain territory in the past few days. It feels like a lull before the storm.
And while the Western media narrative is claiming that Ukraine is going to be launching counter-offensives soon, my gut tells me that it is the reverse. That with over 300,000 more troops being prepared to enter Ukraine, it is actually Russia that will be launching an offensive in the coming months with the focus on taking the all of the territories of the four regions that Moscow has claimed as its own.
And winter favors the Russian military. Or so my military sources tell me.
There will be no forest coverage during winter (all the leaves are on the ground), and with air and artillery superiority they tell me that it will be easy for Russian forces to easily identify and pick-off Ukraine military positions.
All that I can say is .... we shall see.
