The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reported on the active actions of Russian troops and air defense systems against the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Over the past 8 hours, a Ukrainian military Mi-143 helicopter was destroyed, as well as 22 Ukrainian drones, XNUMX Vampire and Grad multiple launch rocket systems, three Uragan missiles and one HIMARS missile were successfully shot down over the territory of the Russian Federation.

In addition to air defense, the Russian armed forces demonstrated an active offensive on several fronts. In particular, the settlement of Mirnoye in the Zaporozhye direction was taken under control, which was unexpected for the command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, given the recent passivity of Russian aviation in this region.

Intensification of hostilities is also observed in the Avdeevsky direction. It is expected that fierce fighting may begin in the near future to take control of Chasy Yar, where Ukrainian troops are reportedly forming a strike force.
