Frontline situation
Ukraine struck three Russian air defense assets and a military logistics depot on October 27 and overnight into October 28. Targets included a Tor-M2 missile system and a radar station in Russia’s Kursk region, an electronic warfare station in Bryansk, and a logistics depot in occupied Donetsk.
