![Russian Military presence in South Ossetia Russia maintains a significant military presence in South Ossetia through its 4th Guards Military Base, located in the capital, Tskhinvali, and the town of Java. This presence, which includes thousands of troops, tanks, and other equipment, was established after the 2008 war with Georgia. Russia considers South Ossetia an independent state, while Georgia and most of the international community recognize it as Russian-occupied Georgian territory. Russia also borders the region with "border guard" compounds run by the FSB.

Russian forces are taking advantage of foggy weather conditions that degrade Ukrainian drone operations to intensify offensive operations in the Hulyaipole direction and other areas of eastern Ukraine. Geolocated footage published on November 11 indicates that Russian forces recently seized Okhotnyche (northeast of Hulyaipole).
Ukrainian Southern Defense Forces Spokesperson Colonel Vladyslav Voloshyn reported on November 11 that Ukrainian forces withdrew from Uspenivka and Novomykolaivka and from positions near Okhotnyche, Novouspenivske, and Nove (all northeast of Hulyaipole).
Geolocated footage published on November 11 shows two Russian servicemembers raising flags in Novouspenivske in what ISW assesses was an infiltration mission that did not change the control of terrain or forward edge of the battle area (FEBA) at this time.
A source reportedly affiliated with Ukrainian military intelligence stated on November 10 that the contested “gray zone” in the Solodke-Novomykolaivka-Rivnopillya area (northeast of Hulyaipole) has grown significantly recently.
Russian sources, including the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD), claimed that Russian forces seized Novouspenivske.
Russian milbloggers claimed that Russian forces seized Solodke and advanced west of Zlahoda, to the eastern outskirts of Yablukove (all north of Hulyaipole), west of Novouspenivske, and east of Vesele (east of Hulyaipole).
Voloshyn stated that Russian forces are attempting to interdict Ukrainian ground lines of communication (GLOCs) that supply Hulyaipole from Pokrovske (north of Hulyaipole).
Voloshyn noted that Russian forces recently intensified artillery strikes in the Hulyaipole direction, firing roughly 2,000 shells in 400 artillery strikes per day ahead of the Ukrainian withdrawals.
Voloshyn stated that Russian forces are taking advantage of recent foggy weather to use infiltration tactics to advance toward Hulyaipole from the east.
Ukrainian military sources fighting in the Hulyaipole direction told Ukrainian outlet Suspilne that Russian forces in the Hulyaipole direction are using weather conditions in which Ukrainian drones cannot fly to advance in small groups on foot or on motorcycles.
The Ukrainian 7th Rapid Reaction Corps of the Air Assault Forces noted that Russian forces have been exploiting fog that hinders Ukrainian drone surveillance in recent attempts to penetrate the southern outskirts of Pokrovsk on light vehicles, consistent with ISW’s recent observations that Russian forces take advantage of poor weather to conduct ground operations in the area.
