The Russian forces succeeded in taking out 1,150 Ukrainian troops and shooting down 230 drones of the Ukrainian air defense systems, the Russian Defense Ministry reported in a statement on Tuesday. The statement added that the Russian troops optimized their military posture and took control of critical sites along numerous axes, targeting Ukrainian Armed Forces formations engaged across 140 locations along the frontlines. These operations resulted in the neutralization of 1,150 Ukrainian troops, along with the destruction of several armored combat vehicles, artillery systems, ammunition storage sites, and electronic warfare nodes, the statement continued. Russia and Ukraine have been trading, since the outbreak of the war in February 2022, near-daily reports on advances or the repelling of mutual attacks, without the ability to verify the accuracy of each side's data.

The Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MoECC) is conducting practical trials to employ modern technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and drones for carrying out surveys and monitoring of various environmental sites across the country. The ministry is scheduled to begin the implementation of this technology in 2026. The MoECC posted a video on its X account explaining that the drones will be controlled from the operations room. The drones are capable of carrying out fully automated missions without human intervention, in addition to identifying a target and tracking its movement with high precision. The AI analysis relies on heat sensors for detection, alongside the ability to fly over the sea to monitor sensitive environmental changes. The drones can also automatically return to their takeoff point once the mission is completed or in case of lost communication.
