## Summary

Ukraine’s 3rd Army Corps sent 28 unmanned ground vehicles towards Russian positions near Lyman in the Donetsk region, in what reports described as the war’s largest clash involving ground robots captured on video. Russia said it repelled the advance, but the operation drew attention to Ukraine’s efforts to use ground robots as a force for attacks as well as battlefield support.

The reported fleet included two vehicles with automatic grenade launchers, 18 carrying rocket-propelled grenades and two AT-4 anti-tank weapons each, and eight kamikaze vehicles. Russian sources said the robots lacked aerial cover and were vulnerable to strike drones once detected. The article also reports a fire at the Afipsky oil refinery, described as its 17th attack during the war, and renewed diplomatic activity, including planned US-mediated talks in Abu Dhabi on 10 and 11 November.
