Ukrainian forces evacuated 167 civilians from around Kherson Oblast during a humanitarian ceasefire, according to the General Staff of Ukraine. The evacuation took place between October 27 and November 1, as Russian and Ukrainian forces observed a ceasefire around the city of Oleshky in the southern Kherson Oblast. The region, which has been under Russian occupation since the early days of the invasion, had faced a humanitarian crisis with thousands of residents facing starvation and lack of aid.
The evacuation was conducted by units from Ukraine's South task force, who worked in mined roads and areas with destroyed military equipment to ensure safety. Among the evacuees were 22 children and 21 people with limited mobility. The General Staff emphasized that the priority remains the preservation of civilian lives and assistance to those unable to leave dangerous areas.
