The Ukrainian army has claimed that more than 6,600 Russian military personnel were killed or wounded across three consecutive daily assessments, with estimates of 2,100, 2,500 and 2,060 losses. The Zambian Observer also reports that Ukrainian drones targeted Russian oil infrastructure for five consecutive nights.
Reported strikes hit facilities in Novokuybyshevsk, Ufa, Kstovo and the Samara region, as well as the YANOS refinery in Yaroslavl. Images circulating online appear to show large fires and columns of smoke after several attacks.
The targeted facilities include refineries, depots and pumping infrastructure used to supply domestic fuel and support Russian energy exports. The Ukrainian army is using long-range drones to strike sites far from the front, while its forces continue to resist Russian offensives.
