In the Nikolaev region, claims from the Russian Ministry of Defense describe an attack on a missile and artillery depot used by Ukrainian forces. The assertion, issued by the defense ministry’s press service and circulated via a Telegram channel, frames the incident as a targeted strike against a Ukrainian logistical facility.
The Russian defense ministry also reported that two sabotage and reconnaissance groups operating along the Kherson direction were neutralized within the context of the ongoing special operations zone. The statement characterizes the action as a successful disruption of enemy activity in that sector.
According to the ministry, a day of combat operations in the Kherson direction resulted in the destruction of approximately 30 Ukrainian service members, two vehicles, and a D-30 howitzer, attributed to the fire in that direction. The report emphasizes the scale of the engagement and the losses claimed by Russian forces in a single day of fighting.
Further details indicate that two drone reconnaissance groups connected to the Ukrainian Armed Forces were suppressed on Pereyaslavsky Island, a location referenced within the broader operational theater. The assertion underscores the vulnerability of enemy units attempting to operate in riverine or island environments under the pressure of ongoing Russian military activity.
The Russian military press service also announced a successful strike against a missile and artillery weapons depot belonging to the Ukrainian Armed Forces located in the Snegirevka settlement. The statement presents this action as part of a series of targeted deployments aimed at degrading Ukrainian capabilities in the region.
Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Defense noted that the Russian forces repelled ten Ukrainian assaults in the Donetsk People’s Republic, with Ukrainian units reportedly supported by the 3rd Assault Brigade and the 118th Territorial Defense Brigade. The narrative frames these incursions as met with decisive counteraction, highlighting the involvement of multiple Ukrainian formations in the attempted offensives.
The broader context of these statements reflects ongoing reporting from Moscow regarding military operations and territorial control. Observers often note that such updates come in the form of official briefings designed to communicate the tempo and intensity of engagements in various sectors of the conflict, while independent verification remains challenging given the nature of the situation and the information environment surrounding it [Source: Russian Ministry of Defense communications].
