Over the past week, Ukrainian forces have been conducting successful limited counterattacks in the direction of Krasnyi Yar in the Pokrovsk direction.

This comes as Ukraine reportedly redeployed their 38th marine brigade from the Kherson direction to Pokrovsk city a couple of week ago.

After 1000 days since Russian-Ukrainian War began Russian Army currently control 86818 Sq Km, which corresponds to 14,38% of Ukraine (18,85% with Crimea Peninsula included):
- Donetsk People's Republic forces controls 17466 Km^2 (65,87% of Donetsk oblast)

Recent reports from Hezbollah and Hezbollah affiliated media indicate that Israeli forces have made significant progress in the Khiyam direction of the Lebanon front and entered the eastern outskirts of Khiyam.

Following the initial failed attack on the town from the south, it appears that the IDF has switched to attacking it from the east as well as the south. The Hezbollah affiliated news outlet "Al-Manar" reported that Israeli forces were attacking from their positions in eastern Khiyam, deeper into the town, confirming their presence inside the eastern houses and in a spearhead connecting them to the main Israeli-held salient further south

Previous statements by Hezbollah on rocket attacks on groupings of IDF soldiers to the east of the town suggested that Israel was building up manpower concentrations east of Khiyam for some time, in preparation for an attack.

Meanwhile, heavy fighting continues in the southern part, however no confirmation has been received of any Israeli positions there.

The US embassy in Ukraine has warned that a significant Russian missile attack on Ukraine may take place on November 20th (today).

"The U.S. Embassy in Kyiv has received specific information of a potential significant air attack on November 20. Out of an abundance of caution, the Embassy will be closed, and Embassy employees are being instructed to shelter in place."

New reports state that Russian forces have continued offensive operations in central Chasiv Yar, and have taken a toehold in the refractory plant and a foothold in the stadium.

A Ukrainian soldier fighting in the Chasiv Yar direction reported that "heavy street fights" are ongoing.

The IDF reported that another soldier was killed in Gaza, bringing the total claimed death toll to 800.

Explosions were reported on the outskirts of Kramatorsk, Donetsk Oblast. A Russian KAB glide bomb struck the city.
