Russia's Defense Ministry said Sunday that its forces had taken control of a town in eastern Ukraine and killed 1,300 Ukrainian soldiers, while also downing 145 drones. In a statement, the ministry said Russian troops had captured the town of Kuzminivka in the Donetsk region and targeted Ukrainian forces across 137 combat zones. The strikes reportedly destroyed dozens of armored vehicles, cars, artillery units, ammunition depots, and electronic warfare stations. Russian warplanes, drones, missile units, and artillery also targeted energy infrastructure supporting Ukraine's military-industrial complex, mobile equipment used to transport weapons by rail, fuel supply centers, and facilities for storing and launching long-range drones and missile platforms, the ministry added. Since the war began on Feb. 24, 2022, both Russia and Ukraine have issued near-daily reports claiming battlefield gains or repelling enemy attacks. These claims cannot be independently verified due to the ongoing conflict and restricted access to combat zones.

The Russian Ministry of Defense announced Sunday its forces had killed nearly 1,280 Ukrainian soldiers and intercepted 65 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in a series of ongoing military operations across various frontlines. In an official statement, the ministry said Russian ground forces carried out targeted strikes against Ukrainian military units in multiple combat zones. The attacks reportedly resulted in the destruction of dozens of armored vehicles, artillery systems, military transport vehicles, ammunition depots, and electronic warfare stations. Additionally, the ministry reported that the Black Sea Fleet destroyed two Ukrainian unmanned surface vessels in the northwestern part of the Black Sea. Russian operational—tactical aircraft and drones also targeted what were described as transport infrastructure facilities being used to support Ukrainian military operations, as well as sites allegedly involved in the launch and storage of long-range drones. These claims come amid the continuing war that began on February 24, 2022, with both Russia and Ukraine regularly issuing conflicting reports on battlefield developments and military successes. Neither side's claims can be independently verified, and both continue to engage in intense information campaigns alongside ongoing hostilities.
