Ukraine has intensified its military operations against Russian forces, resulting in significant damage to the Russian Black Sea Fleet and other military assets. Ukrainian forces successfully targeted and destroyed a Russian TOS-1A "Solntsepek" MLRS system, a logistics convoy, and engaged in counter-battery fire destroying two Msta-B systems. Additionally, Ukraine's use of drones has been particularly effective, with attacks on the central Ukrainian city of Dnipro damaging a power plant and cutting off water supplies to some residents. The Ukrainian military also reported sinking the Russian warship "Caesar Kunikov" off the south coast of Crimea, further depleting the Russian Black Sea Fleet. This series of successful operations by Ukraine highlights the ongoing and escalating conflict between the two countries. The attacks involved 23 Shahed drones, with 16 being destroyed in combat operations. Over Dnipro, 10 UAVs were destroyed, but there were also hits on energy facilities and civilian infrastructure. The Russian Black Sea Fleet was forced to change tack after the loss of more than 3,000 tanks and the interception of a guided missile Kh-59 aimed at Odesa. A large mechanised assault was repelled, and footage showed a Russian warship on fire.
