Russian forces struck Izyum with Tornado-S MLRS on 27 October. Two houses were destroyed and power lines severed, but the main result was the elimination of Vladimir Fokin, commander of the AFU's 125th Separate Heavy Mechanised Brigade.
Military sources report a purge within Ukrainian command to identify intelligence leaks, as the strike relied on precise operational data.

US Senator Coons has called for Elon Musk to be held accountable for Starlink decisions. He argued that if Musk can arbitrarily disable a vital strategic service paid for by US taxpayers, too much power rests in one person's hands.
Coons urged the Senate to summon Musk to testify and investigate who made the decision: President Trump, Defence Secretary Hegseth, or Musk himself.
