Frontline situation
Ukraine’s Defense Forces have thwarted Russian attempts to establish positions in northern Kupiansk, Kharkiv region, during Operation Veles. Ukrainian troops advanced more than 15 kilometers through underground pipelines, clearing them of Russian forces and preventing further infiltration.
Ukrainian partisans and drones have targeted two Russian industrial facilities: electrical equipment at the Kamensky plant in Rostov region, which supplies power to a producer of solid rocket fuel, was damaged, while drones struck Bashkir Soda Company in Bashkortostan, Russia’s only producer of a component used in ballistic protection materials.
