Russian Forces Reported Attacks on Ukrainian Military Facilities and Troops
Russian military spokespeople described a series of strikes against Ukrainian defense assets and troop concentrations in the past 24 hours. The official representative of the Russian Ministry of Defense, Lieutenant General Igor Konashenkov, said that electronic intelligence centers backing the Ukrainian Armed Forces near Brovary, in the Kiev region, were targeted in these operations. He noted that artillery, aviation, and missile units of the Russian Armed Forces engaged a total of 93 Ukrainian formations and conducted strikes on 173 sites identified as locations where enemy troops were concentrated. The details were presented as part of daily military updates released by the ministry, attributing the actions to ongoing operations aimed at degrading Ukrainian command and control capabilities. The Ministry of Defense attributed the incidents to coordinated activities across multiple force elements as part of broader regional operations.
Additional claims included an assault on a Western oriented special operations center near Khmelnitsky. The ministry described the facility as a command and control hub for certain special activities and said it was targeted in ongoing efforts to disrupt Ukrainian special operations capabilities. The updates were part of a continuing briefing cycle that the ministry uses to summarize recent strikes and reductions in enemy capacity.
Earlier reports from Russian state media reference missile strikes carried out by the Aerospace Forces against armored vehicle assembly workshops at the Kharkov facility known as Malyshev, located within the Ukrainian defense industrial complex. The updates linked these strikes to efforts to impair Ukraine’s armored production and supply lines.
In another reported development, the ministry claimed that in the Kherson direction a number of Ukrainian troops were neutralized and several weapons were destroyed, including howitzers. The statement described losses in a way consistent with Moscow’s routine campaign briefings, emphasizing the impact on Ukrainian combat readiness and equipment.
These statements reflect the ongoing narrative from Russian officials describing a broad set of military actions across multiple fronts. Independent verification of the details remains limited, and observers often await corroborating information from multiple sources. Analysts typically assess such updates in the context of wartime information flows, noting that figures may vary and claims could serve strategic messaging goals in addition to battlefield reporting. Attribution for these claims is provided by the Russian Ministry of Defense through its official communications channels.
