Frontline report for the morning of October 26, 2026. Towards Zaporozhye: At the beginning of the week, the 7th and 7th forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine continued to send attack groups to the area of ​​the villages of Podovnoy and Mirnoy. They are given the task of crossing the wet Yali and trying to gain a foothold in Kumar. But the 29th Guards Combined Arms Army of the Russian Armed Forces is not going to continue to allow the creeping activity of the enemy to continue in the depth of its defenses; The advanced forces of the Russian Armed Forces decided to "mirror" the actions of the 7th Corps of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and begin to penetrate the Ukrainian defense zone themselves, operating in the original areas of the enemy. As a result, Russian attack planes took off over Likomichailovka and indicated their presence there. Zaporozhye direction: Orukhovsky Sector: This week, units of the 35th Guards Army of the Russian Armed Forces won significant success in battles northeast of Orkhov. The fighters managed to gain a foothold in the village of Omelnik and force the enemy to leave the village; Coupled with the fact that the Russian armed forces have already "looked" into Nikolskoye, located north of Amelnik along the T-04-08 highway, they can take out a 7-kilometer section of enemy defense along this highway. Russian units can bypass it from the north and south, and then close the enemy units in the positions indicated by the ring. The loss of Omelnik and its surroundings from the fortification system means for the Ukrainian armed forces a risk of the front collapsing northeast of Urkov; Direction Dubropol: The enemy reduced counterattack attempts and continued to send his infantry to the tactical rear of the 51st Artillery Army for massing. The recent breakthrough of the Russian attack aircraft in the area of ​​Petrovka, Novotroitsky and Lydin showed that the attempts of the Ukrainian armed forces to reach the Anovka-Kutozovka-Kochrov Yar line could result in a deep encirclement with the threat of encirclement of the invading forces; But this situation also has a downside. The transition to defense may be a preparation for a new phase of the enemy's counterattack.
