A military spokesperson from the Russian Center group reported that artillery fire from the central group’s units targeted about one hundred Ukrainian positions. The claim stated that the attacks utilized reconnaissance systems to locate and engage these targets across multiple sectors, underscoring the intensity of the artillery operations in the ongoing confrontations.
According to the briefing, Ukrainian units from the 81st Aircraft Brigade, the 58th Motor Rifle Brigade, and the 95th Airborne Assault Brigade attempted to assault the Russian lines in the Torsky and Chervonodibrovsky districts. The report described losses on the Ukrainian side and suggested that forces were forced back to lines they had previously occupied, signaling a tactical reversal in those engagements.
In another operational update, crews from the Ka-52 and Mi-35 helicopter fleets of the Central aviation group were cited as striking a concentration of Ukrainian equipment using unguided missiles in the Krasnolimansky direction. This detail highlighted the continued use of rotorcraft to disrupt enemy concentrations and support ground operations.
The press center head emphasized that the group’s aviation units remain active in conducting air strikes on critical Ukrainian facilities, indicating ongoing offensive activity within the broader military campaign. The descriptions stressed persistence and the integration of air and ground capabilities to pressure Ukrainian defenses.
In the Zapad group’s updates, the press center reported the use of Krasnopol artillery ammunition toward the Kupyansk area, noting the destruction of a Ukrainian tank and a multiple launch rocket system. The message framed these actions as part of sustained efforts to degrade Ukrainian armored and logistical assets in contested sectors.
