Ukrainian troops struck at the logistics and communications of the Russian occupiers in the Kupiansk sector. The Ukrainian Armed Forces destroyed Russian vehicles, warehouses, and communications equipment, according to the Khortytsia operational and strategic grouping of troops.

Soldiers from the Phoenix unmanned aerial systems unit of the Revenge Brigade inflicted serious losses on Russian troops. They successfully destroyed not only armored vehicles, weapons, and personnel of the Russian occupation army in the Kupiansk sector, but also disrupted Russian logistics and deprived the Russians of communication.

"Over the past week, they destroyed 19 Russian trucks, two fuel and lubricant depots, and one with ammunition, as well as a Starlink satellite communications kit," the grouping of troops said.

The Phoenix drones also captured 2 Russian passenger cars, a Tiger armored vehicle, a 155-millimeter Msta-B howitzer, a mortar, and a radar station.
