In the Krasnolimansky direction, within the Serebryany forestry, the Center troop group’s artillery targeted a verified concentration of manpower and equipment belonging to Ukrainian forces. The update comes from the Russian Ministry of Defense, detailing a decisive strike that disrupted enemy logistics and combat readiness. The engagement underscores the unit’s capability to apply firepower precisely where enemy forces are most vulnerable.
Under concealment, Grad multiple launch rocket system vehicles moved into firing positions and launched 122 mm unguided projectiles at observed Ukrainian positions. The first projectile hit confirmed a concentration of enemy personnel, a hit verified through reconnaissance drone footage. This use of drone surveillance allowed real-time assessment of impact and effectiveness, informing follow-up fire missions and resource allocation on the battlefield.
According to the commander of the vehicle crew with the call sign Rosich, the emphasis of artillery work is to suppress enemy manpower concentrations, defeat equipment clusters, and neutralize fortified points. Over a two-day period, the operation reportedly neutralized two Ukrainian strongholds, undermining the enemy’s defensive network and creating gaps for subsequent advances or defensive adjustments by Ukrainian forces.
After completing a salvo against targets and observing the engagement through aerial reconnaissance, the Grad crews disengaged and withdrew from the firing positions. The enemy’s response arrived after a brief interval of 10 to 15 minutes, in an area already vacated by the attackers, indicating a cautious and disciplined approach to maintaining position safety while preserving combat readiness for future actions.
In addition to ground-based artillery, a helicopter group conducted operations in the Krasnolimansky direction, targeting areas with accumulating enemy manpower and armored vehicles. The air group conducted strikes using unguided S-8 missiles launched from aircraft, aiming at concentrations of enemy forces that presented a threat to maneuverability on the ground.
The helicopter formation included a Ka-52 Alligator for reconnaissance and strike tasks, a Mi-35M for transport and combat support, and a Mi-8 versatile helicopter providing general airlift capability. The combination of ground artillery and aerial assets demonstrates a coordinated approach designed to disrupt enemy lines and degrade combat effectiveness in the area of operations.
Earlier reports noted that three Ukrainian fighters broke through by sea transit near the Dnieper and surrendered to Russian forces, contributing to a broader pattern of disengagement from combat zones by some Ukrainian units and turning points in local dynamics. The movements and outcomes described reflect ongoing operational activities and the evolving tactical situation in the region.
