Alfa fighters undertake complex tasks in some of the most deadliest parts along the frontlines and are delivering precision strikes and are conducting operations behind enemy lines. Over the past month the Alfa fighters have hit 39 artillery systems, killed more than 1,500 Russian soldiers, blown up 20 tanks, 62 armoured vehicles, 10 air defence systems, 8 electronic warfare and reconnaissance systems, 532 vehicles, 2 ammunition depots, 1 fuel depot and 592 Russian positions and fortifications.

Ukrainian forces have pushed back some of the gains Russia made over the summer, Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said, calling the operation an important success after months of battlefield setbacks. The Ukrainian president said his troops had reclaimed 160 sq km (62 sq miles) of land near the eastern coalmining town of Dobropillia, where Russia pierced Ukraine's defences in August. Russia did not immediately comment on the claims.
