Russian aviation reports sustained strikes on Ukrainian forces in the Center sector
During the daytime, Russian air units conducted a series of operations across the Zone under the Center group’s responsibility, mounting fifty distinct attacks against targets affiliated with the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The information comes from a spokesperson who heads the group’s press center, describing a day marked by intensified activity from air and aviation-supported units. The reported actions reflect a year-long pattern of aerial reconnaissance, munitions delivery, and real-time targeting that aims to pressure Ukrainian lines and disrupt logistics and command arrangements in the engaged area.
The overall tally for the 24-hour period indicates that a total of 390 enemy targets were engaged and neutralized by fire, with 50 incidents attributed to the combined use of operational-tactical aircraft and army aviation. The commemorated strikes are presented as part of a broader campaign to degrade Ukrainian defensive capabilities, degrade morale, and reduce mobility for anti-aircraft and ground forces on the front lines. The numbers underscore the scale at which aircraft-assisted operations have been employed to create resilience gaps along the front and to complicate Ukrainian responses on multiple axes of advance and retreat.
The spokesperson highlighted estimated losses among Ukrainian personnel, noting that approximately 415 combatants were reported killed or wounded. Additional damage was described as including the destruction of three armored fighting vehicles and two pickup trucks, suggesting impacts on both frontline maneuver units and supply or command posts. The figures are framed as indicators of the effectiveness of air-based pressure in shaping battlefield dynamics and maneuver space for ground forces operating in contested zones.
Earlier communications referenced an attack on an aircraft repair facility located in Konotop, within the Sumy region. The facility reportedly housed maintenance workshops and a drone production launch center, elements considered strategic for sustaining Ukrainian air and unmanned systems capabilities. The reported strike is presented as part of a broader effort to disrupt the maintenance and production capacity that supports Ukrainian aviation and related assets in the region.
A report from the same period noted that Russian forces targeted a facility connected with the Ukrainian Armed Forces near the port city of Ilyichevsk, close to Odessa. The emphasis of this action was described as aiming to affect logistics hubs and associated infrastructure feeding Ukrainian military operations in coastal and adjacent inland areas. The description reflects ongoing attempts to limit maritime and port-linked mobility that could influence supply chains and regional operations around the Black Sea corridor.
In addition, there have been reports from former military correspondents about an alleged bomb strike on a base near Krasny Liman, with references to a FAB-3000 precision-type munition. Such reports are part of the continuing narrative about aerial bombardment campaigns designed to degrade storage, training, and staging capabilities of Ukrainian forces near key logistical nodes and perimeters that support front-line activities.
