This footage captures an intense attempt by a Ukrainian interceptor operator to bring down a Russian Molniya-2 drone. Gunfire can be seen coming from the ground as troops try to hit the target, while another Ukrainian FPV interceptor also makes a pass but narrowly misses.
What follows is a real aerial duel: the Russian drone keeps maneuvering to avoid being taken down, while the Ukrainian operator has to stay locked in, react instantly, and catch the target at exactly the right moment. A tense example of how fast and demanding drone interception has become on today’s battlefield.
Drones from the 225th Separate Assault Regiment freed two Ukrainian prisoners captured by Russian forces. Using only FPV drones and without infantry involvement, operators struck the escorting soldier. As the first drone approached, the captor panicked and failed to use the prisoners as cover, making a fatal decision. The operation was carried out in coordination with the 108th Brigade and other Ukrainian Defense Forces units.
An FPV drone strike caused a catastrophic ammunition detonation inside a Russian tank in the Pokrovsk direction of the Donetsk region. The blast resulted in a powerful explosion that tore off the turret and destroyed the vehicle.
Pilots of the 1st Separate Center of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces (14th Regiment) struck Shahed drone operators and their launch positions during active deployment. The attack targeted personnel and launch equipment directly at the moment of preparations, disrupting the launch process.
Several airstrikes significantly damaged a dam across the Siverskyi Donets River in the area of Raihorodok, east of Sloviansk. The site is located approximately 15 km from the frontline. The extent of the damage and potential impact on the area are being clarified.
Drones of the 1st mechanized battalion of the 125th OVMB tracked down and destroyed enemy infantry on the territory of the Russian Federation, in the village of Tyotkino.
Yes, the aggressor can’t feel safe anywhere — we’re getting the occupiers even in their rear.

This is what Stepnohirsk looks like today — a stark frontline report and war documentation from the situation on the ground. Russian forces have turned the town into a ghost city, with silent streets, damaged buildings, and clear signs of infrastructure damage across this once-living community.
The panorama, filmed by a drone of the 260th Separate Territorial Defense Brigade “Khortytsia,” offers an aerial battlefield view of urban frontline areas and the wider conflict impact on cities. It is another conflict zone update showing what ongoing war leaves behind for affected communities near the front.
Fighting continues on the Toretsk axis, where Ukrainian border guard drone operators from the Phoenix unit are carrying out precision strikes against Russian manpower and artillery positions. According to published footage and field reports, the unit remains active in targeting assault groups and supporting Ukrainian defenses in the area.
At the same time, drones operated by Ukraine’s State Border Guard Service reportedly reached the Bakhmut area, where they struck Russian airborne troops preparing to move toward their positions. The attacks highlight the growing reach and flexibility of Ukrainian UAV units across multiple sectors of the front.
Footage shows catastrophic destruction in Kostiantynivka. The city is being hit by everything from drones to 3-ton guided bombs, leaving widespread devastation. Similar destruction previously struck Avdiivka, Bakhmut, Soledar, and Pokrovsk, with Kostiantynivka now facing the same scale of damage.
