Ukraine’s Defense & Military Developments (1/2)
>>> Ukrainian Defense Forces struck a Russian fuel train near Ostrykivka in occupied Zaporizhzhia region with FPV drones, derailing several cars loaded with fuel and causing a major fire. The attack disrupted fuel supplies to Russian troops advancing toward the Zaporizhzhia front. Video footage confirmed the scale of destruction and Russian channels reported casualties.

>>> Another Ukrainian FPV drone strike targeted the same train between Urozhaine and Tokmak, with multiple wagons ignited. Russian military logistics in Zaporizhzhia lost a critical fuel delivery line as both rail segments were disabled.

>>> A Ukrainian tank in eastern Kupiansk obliterated a shed packed with Russian troops at close range. Footage showed the direct hit, underlining the intensity of close-quarters combat.

>>> Units of Azov and the 92nd Brigade reported partial encirclement of Russian forces south of Kucheriv Yar in the Pokrovsk direction. Ukrainian troops pressed the advance while stabilizing newly liberated areas.

>>> Long-range SBU drones destroyed two large Russian ammunition depots in Bilokurakyne, Luhansk region. Explosions lasted for hours, reducing Russian artillery supply in the sector.
