Ukraine continued their large-scale mid-range drone attacks on Luhansk City last night, striking unknown targets within the eastern and southern suburbs of the city, resulting in large fires breaking out.
An ammunition depot in the city of Khrustalnyi, Luhansk Oblast, was also hit, resulting in strong secondary detonations which lasted for hours and that could be heard in neighbouring cities.

A Russian Tu-160M strategic bomber departed from Ukrainka Airbase in the Far East this morning, and is redeploying to Engels-2 Airbase in Saratov Oblast, where it will land in the next hour.
It will be equipped with Kh-101 cruise missiles at Engels-2 Airbase, before subsequently redeploying back to Ukrainka Airbase in the evening.
This is the fourth Tu-160M to carry out this flight in the last two weeks, and is part of the ongoing preparations for the next large-scale, combined missile and drone attack on Ukraine involving strategic aviation.
4-6 Tu-95MS strategic bombers are also expected to be used in this upcoming attack, which are likely already being equipped with Kh-101 cruise missiles at Ukrainka Airbase.

One of the targets of last night's Russian missile attack on Kyiv was the CHP-5 Combined Heat and Power Plant. 5 Iskander-M ballistic missiles and 1 Rm-48U modified S-400 ballistic missile were used to target the facility. The blast wave damaged metro infrastructureโฆ
Update: The "South" Bridge in Kyiv was actually hit directly by Russian ballistic missiles, suffering at least three direct impacts.
The bridge is standing and the damage is seemingly not major. Traffic remains suspended in both directions.

The Russian Ministry of Defence issued a statement regarding their overnight combined missile and drone attack on Ukraine.
In Kyiv City, they claim to have struck the following:
- An industrial enterprise used to manufacture and store mid-to-long-range drones.
- Two workshops used to assemble, manufacture, and store mid-to-long-range drones, including one which deals specifically with FP-1 long-range drones and FP-2 mid-range drones.
- The "Southern" Railway Bridge in Kyiv, which is used to transport military cargo.
Additionally, the MoD claims to have struck a customs terminal of the "Regional Logistics Centre" Company in Kharkiv Oblast, which they allege is used to store and distribute material and technical resources, dual-use goods intended for the Ukrainian military, as well as reconnaissance and strike drones.
Furthermore, the MoD claims that another dry cargo ship was hit in the western Black Sea, which was allegedly delivering military cargo to Chornomorsk Port in Odesa Oblast.

Update from Oleshky.
The humanitarian mission has begun, with aid now being distributed into the city. Both sides continue to observe the ceasefire, with no violations reported by Russia or Ukraine.
A large number of civilians are also reported moving around on the western (Ukrainian-held) side of the Dnieper River, likely taking advantage of the lack of drones in the air to go about their days. Some civilians are also actively moving around the eastern (Russian-held) bank.

Yesterday, a geolocation surfaced showing a Ukrainian position on the southeastern-most part of Kostyantynivka being hit by a Russian Rubicon FPV drone.
Judging by an analysis of Sentinel-2 satellite imagery, the video was recorded no earlier than October 12, meaning it is new and very much relevant to the current situation in Kostyantynivka.
This is not surprising, and the area has remained within my "infiltration zone", which encompasses the area where any soldier from either side might be located at a given time, including the furthest-most Russian infiltration close to the outskirts of Druzhkivka, and the deepest-most Ukrainian positions still present behind Russian lines on the southeastern outskirts of Kostyantynivka. It's likely that some isolated Ukrainian positions are still present even further south on the northern edge of Ivanopillya as well.
From a military perspective, these areas are "controlled" by Russia, although they have not achieved full "consolidation". Russia's presence in these areas is overwhelming compared to Ukraine's, so it should not be considered a "grey-zone" in my opinion (hence why I have a separate layer on my map for the "infiltration zone").
The majority of Ukrainian positions of significance within the city limits remain in the northern and northwestern parts of Kostyantynivka, which have remained in a grey-zone on my map for a few months, due to the continued presence of Russian positions intermingled with Ukrainian ones. Russian and Ukrainian forces likely have some form of parity of forces in these outer districts, including some areas with Russian dominance, and others with Ukrainian dominance. Both sides are constantly infiltrating each other's positions, attempting to clear each other out, making it impossible and impracticable to map a defined "frontline" there.

Everyone always talks about how chaotic the frontline is, and what is called the "death of the conventional frontline" in Ukraine, but I thought I should make a visualisation to show you all what that might actually look like.
