The special unit “Ghosts” of Ukraine’s Defence Intelligence (Main Directorate of Intelligence of Ukraine), previously known for striking Russian air defense systems in occupied Crimea, is now reportedly expanding its operations to targeting logistics routes across temporarily occupied territories. The Military Footage Hub release shows continued activity aimed at disrupting supply chains, transport infrastructure, and operational mobility of Russian forces. The footage documents drone-based reconnaissance and strike operations carried out in contested zones, reflecting a broader shift from air defense suppression to logistics interdiction on occupied territory.
In the Southern Slobozhanskyi direction, aerial reconnaissance operators of the STRIX unmanned systems unit destroyed 10 Russian Molniya strike drones.
The interceptions were carried out by border guard drone teams operating along the frontline.
Officials reported that two UAVs struck the central part of the city, with one of the confirmed impacts hitting a kindergarten building.
The strike adds to the growing number of attacks on civilian infrastructure, once again putting non-military sites in the direct path of drone warfare.
Russian forces struck Zaporizhzhia with guided aerial bombs, injuring six people, according to regional authorities.
The attack caused fires and damage across multiple civilian sites, including cars, residential buildings, a service station, a car wash, a store, and an industrial facility. The strike is another example of continued attacks on urban infrastructure and populated areas.
Kostiantynivka remains under round-the-clock Russian fire as the city continues to be systematically destroyed. Drone operators of the Phoenix border guard unit documented another attack, capturing evidence of Russian forces dropping heavy aerial bombs on the city during the night.
According to the footage, residential neighborhoods were among the targets once again. The strike adds to the growing record of attacks on civilian areas in one of the most heavily battered cities in the Donetsk region.
In February 2026, the special operations company of the Lava Unmanned Systems Regiment of the Khartiia Corps, with support from Khartiia Brigade forces, carried out a robotic assault against Russian infantry positions in Kupiansk. According to the released account, the operation eliminated 10 occupying troops holding a position inside the city.
Rockets fired from an unmanned ground vehicle, together with a kamikaze ground robot carrying a large explosive payload, destroyed the enemy strongpoint. The strike reportedly cleared the area and allowed Ukrainian units to move into the position afterward.
Ukrainian women are fighting alongside men on some of the most dangerous parts of the front line. They serve in assault, medical, reconnaissance, and drone units, proving their strength, resilience, and dedication to Ukraine every day.
The humanitarian situation in occupied Oleshky has reportedly deteriorated sharply. Since April 15, the city has effectively been under blockade. Vehicles carrying gas and food reportedly hit mines — the drivers survived, but since then no one has been willing to risk entering the city.
Food and basic goods are now in extremely short supply. To buy essentials, residents are forced to travel to Skadovsk via a mined “road of death” that remains under fire. People reportedly carry other people’s bank cards and pay a fee just to withdraw cash.
Around 50 children are still believed to remain in the city.
Winter 2026. This footage shows a Ukrainian reconnaissance and sabotage group clearing a building near the village of Udachne in the Donetsk region. During the close-quarters operation, one Russian soldier was killed and two others were taken prisoner.
The video highlights the intensity of small-unit combat and building-clearing operations on this sector of the front.
This footage shows Ukrainian drone operators carrying out a coordinated ambush against a group of Russian soldiers on quad bikes preparing for an assault on the Pokrovsk axis. Two FPV drones strike in tandem, hitting the enemy group before it can move into action.
The video was released by the Dovbush’s Hornets unmanned systems battalion of Ukraine’s 68th Separate Jaeger Brigade.
