Over the past 24 hours, the Defense Forces of Ukraine delivered a series of strikes on a number of key military facilities of the Russian army, located primarily in Bryansk region. This was announced by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in its daily operational report, as reported by RBC-Ukraine. According to Ukrainian military data, a radar station, an electronic warfare complex, and a repeater of the enemy's tactical MESH network came under fire.

Strikes on radar and electronic infrastructure

According to the report by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, an enemy radar complex was hit in the settlement of Kartushino in Russia's Bryansk region. In the same region, in the Pogar area, Ukrainian forces attacked an electronic warfare complex. Both facilities fall into the category of reconnaissance and suppression systems that, according to Kyiv, are used to provide cover for ground operations and to counter unmanned systems. The General Staff emphasized that work on key military targets of the enemy is ongoing.

Hit on MESH network repeater and repair base

In addition, Ukrainian military reported hitting a MESH network repeater in the settlement of Slyanka. MESH networks are distributed tactical communication systems that ensure reliable connectivity between units on the battlefield. Their destruction, by Kyiv's logic, is capable of disrupting the coordination of Russian troop actions in the border area. Moreover, in Sokolohorsk in Luhansk region, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, a repair base of an occupying unit was hit, which, as noted, may reduce the operational potential of the enemy's equipment.

Damage assessment and further actions

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine stated that the scale of the damage inflicted is currently being established, and all details will be provided additionally. "Work on key military targets of the enemy is ongoing. To be continued," Ukrainian military concluded in their report. Thus, Kyiv confirms its course of systematically hitting elements of Russia's rear and reconnaissance infrastructure in border regions.

Context: ceasefire, offensives and air restrictions

This series of strikes comes against the backdrop of a number of other statements and events previously recorded by RBC-Ukraine. In particular, the Armed Forces of Ukraine issued a statement on the so-called "ceasefire at the front," clarifying that tasks are being carried out in full. It was also reported that the Defense Forces broke through in several regions at once and that several offensive operations of the Russian army were thwarted. It was separately noted that Russia refused an air ceasefire during the visit of Donald Trump's envoys, which, according to Ukrainian experts, limits the possibilities for diplomatic de-escalation of the airspace.

Contradictory data

It should be noted that the additional sources provided for fact-checking (mk.ru, gazeta.ru) dated August 8, 2026, describe a different series of events: strikes by Russian "Geran" drones on Ukrainian radar stations near Mykolaiv and in Odesa region. These reports neither confirm nor refute the data on Ukrainian strikes on facilities in Bryansk region, as they relate to different dates and different sections of the front. Thus, independent verification of the scale of damage claimed by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Bryansk region is absent at the time of publication, and both sides of the conflict are publishing their own reports on hitting the enemy's radar systems.
