Frontline situation
Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces struck an oil terminal in Russia's Krasnodar Krai. They also destroyed a Pantsir-S1 air defense missile and gun system in temporarily occupied Crimea.
At the same time, Russian troops have stepped up attempts to advance toward Myrnohrad, trying to encircle it. Ukrainian units are detecting and destroying enemy groups still on the outskirts of the city.
