Over the past day, Ukrainian and Russian forces have engaged in intense combat across various fronts, with a significant number of military engagements and casualties. Ukrainian forces have successfully utilized FPV drones and HIMARS systems to target and destroy Russian military equipment, including tanks, artillery systems, and electronic warfare systems. Notably, a rare Russian RB-109A Bylina electronic warfare system, which was not expected to be in service until 2025, was destroyed by Ukrainian drone operators. Russian forces have continued their attacks, resulting in civilian casualties and damage to infrastructure in Ukraine. In Kharkiv, multiple missile strikes injured at least 17 people and damaged residential buildings. The Russian city of Voronezh also experienced a drone attack, which led to the declaration of a state of emergency after damage to buildings and a child's injury. The ongoing conflict shows no signs of abating, with both sides sustaining losses and continuing to engage in combat operations. Ukrainian defenders reported killing 980 Russian soldiers and destroying 24 artillery systems in one day, while another report claimed 1,110 Russians killed. Russian attacks injured 7 people in Kherson, Kharkiv, and Donetsk oblasts, and a strike in Donetsk Oblast killed 1 civilian and injured another. In total, Russian attacks killed 1 civilian and injured 11 others. There were 85 combat engagements reported, and Russian forces shelled Sumy Oblast 110 times.
