In the temporarily occupied Berdiansk area of Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia region, Ukrainian troops targeted a Russian command post and a drone storage facility. A Russian military repair unit was also hit near Liubymivka in the Zaporizhzhia region.
In addition, Ukrainian forces carried out strikes against concentrations of Russian personnel near Komysh-Zoria in the Zaporizhzhia region, Uspenka in the Luhansk region, and Donetsk.
