Our note from November 9, 2023:

November 9, 2023: Two Russian command posts were hit/destroyed during the day - between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. today. One of these control points was almost certainly an HQ at Skadovsk, in the temporarily occupied part of Kherson Oblast. The latest information available suggests that five people were killed ant 15 injured in the attack. It has been rumored that high-ranking officers were among the victims.
The date, region, number of casualties, and presence of senior officers all match our report perfectly. We assess with high confidence that these are the five men killed in the Skadovsk HQ strike.
