The Spartan Unit, together with adjacent units, repelled a major Russian assault on the Pokrovsk direction. Russian forces attempted to advance in rainy conditions using cars, motorcycles, and ATVs, but the attack was stopped. Over 48 hours, 120 assault troops were killed and 6 wounded. Russian losses also included 7 ATVs, 4 motorcycles, and 3 vehicles.

Fighters of the 155th Separate Mechanized Brigade and the 425th Assault Battalion Skelya repelled an enemy motorbike assault near Hryshyne, Donetsk Oblast. The attackers used 13 motorcycles — 9 were destroyed on approach, and 4 were stopped inside the settlement. Confirmed enemy losses total 17 personnel.

Operators of the 15th Artillery Reconnaissance Brigade ‘Black Forest’ directed a GMLRS strike on a Russian ammunition depot while munitions were being loaded into trucks.

Units of the Ukrainian Special Operations Forces conducted a series of precision strikes targeting Russian military assets. Four radar systems were destroyed in occupied Crimea, including the 5N84A “Oborona-14”, the Nebo-U radar, and two radar stations located inside a radar dome in Yevpatoria. A command post element of a Russian marine brigade was also struck in occupied Zachativka in the Donetsk region. The destruction of these radar systems significantly weakens Russia’s ability to detect and engage aerial targets.

A large Russian logistics center was reportedly struck by FPV drones, resulting in the destruction of approximately 10,000 FPV units and 10 pieces of military equipment. According to reports, the operation involved a specialized FPV model equipped with a 50-kilometer fiber-optic cable, allowing operators to maintain control over extended distances and resist electronic warfare interference. The full scale of the damage has not yet been independently verified.

Ukrainian artillery reportedly scored a precise strike on a Russian TOS-1A “Solntsepyok” heavy flamethrower system during a reload phase. The impact led to a powerful secondary detonation, likely caused by the onboard thermobaric rockets. The system was caught in a vulnerable moment while rearming, resulting in a dramatic explosion visible from a significant distance. The TOS-1A is designed to launch thermobaric munitions and is typically deployed against fortified positions.

Border guard UAV operators of the “Hart” Brigade on the South-Slobozhanskyi axis destroyed an enemy ammunition depot. Aerial reconnaissance detected activity near a hangar close to the border. Strike drones flew directly into the structure and hit an enemy truck inside. A powerful explosion confirmed that the vehicle was loaded with ammunition prepared for future assault operations. The strike disrupted the enemy’s logistics and prevented the use of the stored munitions.

Artillery, FPV drones, and heavy bomber units of the 33rd and 1st Assault Regiments dismantled a Russian assault group consisting of 17 troops near the village of Dobropillia in the Huliaipole direction. The group dismounted from a single ZIL truck before being detected and engaged. Coordinated strikes prevented the unit from advancing and neutralized the threat shortly after deployment. The operation highlights effective reconnaissance and rapid fire coordination against attempted assault movements.

Special forces of the SBU Special Operations Center “Alpha” continue targeting the enemy beyond the frontline, carrying out a series of precision night strikes against key elements of Russian military infrastructure in the rear, including 4 headquarters and command posts, 3 personnel deployment sites (including Russian FSB special forces units), 1 UAV production facility, 2 fuel and lubricant depots, 2 UAV launch positions, 1 ammunition warehouse, 1 logistics hub, 4 command and observation posts, and other military facilities; striking these targets significantly complicates the enemy’s command and control, logistics, and preparation for future offensives, while the night operation was conducted using “FP-2” unmanned aerial systems produced by Fire Point and equipped with 105 kg warheads, ensuring high operational effectiveness.
