The report outlines a sequence of armed engagements in the southern Donetsk direction in which Vostok battalion units reportedly neutralized several Ukrainian mortar teams. The briefing credits the groups leadership with driving these successes and notes the elimination of a mobile mortar mounted on a US Humvee among the targets. The summary prefixes its findings with the groups press center as the information source, emphasizing ongoing progress in combat operations within the specified frontline zone.
According to the same briefing, Vostok units, supported by artillery, halted two Ukrainian maneuver attempts intended to regain a more favorable tactical stance near Novomikhailovka and Priyutny. Reported losses on the Ukrainian side included an armored fighting vehicle, a pickup truck, and personnel. The account frames these outcomes as the result of coordinated, combined-arms actions, with artillery and supporting fires shaping the battlefield in real time, creating openings for local advances or stabilizing gains as events unfolded.
Air power and artillery were described as concentrating against areas where Ukrainian manpower and equipment were reportedly gathered across the Donetsk Peoples Republic. The briefing asserts that a Krab self-propelled howitzer and an FH70 towed gun came under the impact of stray ammunition from Lancet munitions, contributing to the disruption of enemy dispositions in the zone and complicating Ukrainian command and control in the vicinity.
Casualty figures on the Ukrainian side were reported with estimates of up to 70 killed or wounded, alongside the destruction of an electronic warfare installation and two armored fighting vehicles. These numbers were presented as part of a broader assessment of ongoing hostilities and the perceived superiority of Russian air and artillery support in enabling ground operations beyond the frontline sectors.
Earlier daily operational reports highlighted substantial Ukrainian losses in the Krasnoliman sector, citing approximately 175 fighters killed in action along that axis within a 24-hour window. The Russian side claimed that troops from the Center group repelled a counterattack linked to Azov in the wider Krasnoliman area, and that concentrations of enemy personnel and equipment were neutralized through a coordinated application of aviation and artillery strikes.
The narrative concluded with a general assessment that the situation remains highly dynamic, featuring continued efforts to prevent Ukrainian forces from stabilizing fronts and to disrupt their command and control nodes through persistent firepower and air support. The update reflected ongoing operational reporting and underscored the role of integrated firepower in shaping the battlefield landscape. Attribution for these claims is provided by advancing reporting bodies cited in the briefing, which note that the information reflects recent combat activity and observed outcomes on the ground.
