Dudchany (Ukrainian: Дудчани, Russian: Дудчаны) is a village located in Beryslav Raion, Kherson Oblast, Ukraine.

It would take another month for the southern half of the village to be retaken by Ukrainian forces on 9 November due to the Dudchany Reservoir inlet creating a geographical barrier preventing either side from advancing.

[9] Russian military bases were established in abandoned homes and municipal buildings[9] while other areas were used as ammunition depots.

[18] According to the Russian-installed head of the Kherson region Vladimir Saldo in an interview conducted on 3 October 2022 and published the following day, the Ukrainian armed forces reached the outskirts of Dudchany[19][20] in part of their southern counteroffensive in an approximately 30 km (20 miles) push from the previous front line.

[32] Shortly after the Ukrainian recapture on 3 October, Russian forces heavily shelled the village which shut off the electricity and hot water there, which combined prompted many of the remaining residents to leave.

[34][35] In retaliation, a suicide drone attack was carried out on the village by Russian forces on 10 October,[36] in which no significant losses were reported.
