A statement from the military agency, published on its official Telegram channel, specifies that units from the Russian “North” troop group established control over the village of Pisarevka in the Ukrainian province of Sumy.

  The defense ministry added that the “East” troop group, for its part, captured the settlement of Nezhenka in the Zaporozhye province.

  Along the operational lines of these two groups, enemy losses amounted to over 345 military personnel (East) and up to 240 (North) in a single day.

  Additionally, Ukrainian troops lost a tank, a 122mm D-30 howitzer, five armored combat vehicles, 79 automobiles, five artillery pieces, as well as four electronic warfare stations and one radar station.

  According to the military report, the Russian Armed Forces struck—using missiles and combat drones—facilities where unmanned aerial vehicles were assembled and stored, energy installations, and transport infrastructure used by Ukrainian troops, as well as 141 deployment sites for Ukrainian military personnel and foreign mercenaries.

  Over the past day, Russian air defenses shot down 12 guided aerial bombs, one projectile from the US HIMARS multiple rocket launcher system, three Flamingo long-range cruise missiles, and 798 drones.
