The General Staff noted ongoing intense combat operations across the front line. Russian forces continue to deploy drones, artillery, and aerial bombs in large volumes as Ukraine’s defenders repel assaults and inflict consistent damage on enemy formations.

Earlier, Ukraine’s 429th “Achilles” Brigade used FPV drones to destroy a North Korean-made M1989 Koksan howitzer that had been shelling positions near Kupiansk from occupied Luhansk, highlighting Ukraine’s ongoing use of drones to neutralize long-range artillery threats.
