In the Kupyansky direction, Western group forces launched a series of five strikes against command and observation posts belonging to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The information was provided by Sergei Zybinsky, who heads the press center for the group and reported through TASS.
Zybinsky specified that the five attacks were directed at targets associated with units from the 41st and 43rd mechanized brigades of the Ukrainian army. The strikes hit in the areas of Stepovaya, Novoselovka, and Petropavlovka, yielding limited confirmation of Ukrainian military activity in those localities. The Russian side notes the Ukrainian forces sustained losses including four mortar crews, the Strela-10 surface-to-air missile system, a D-20 artillery piece, and a combat drone, according to the press center’s assessment.
