Nighttime activity on the front lines continues unabated. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has published a summary of strikes aimed at reducing the enemy's military-economic potential. Operations were conducted both on the territory of the Russian Federation and in occupied regions.

### Strikes on Maritime Communications

Special attention in the report is paid to events in the Black Sea. According to the Ukrainian side, three tankers were hit during the operation. The Defense Forces indicate that these vessels are used to transport Russian oil, petroleum products, and fuel necessary to meet the needs of the Russian Armed Forces.

### Disruption of Logistics Hubs

On land, strikes were launched against critical infrastructure objects. In particular, a railway bridge over the Kalmius River in the Staryi Mariivka area of the Donetsk region was hit. According to the General Staff, this facility is actively used by Russian troops to transfer personnel, weapons, military equipment, and material resources.

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) control points located in several regions were also targeted:

- Belaya Berezya (Bryansk region, Russian Federation);

- Naumovka (Belgorod region, Russian Federation);

- Volyne Pole (Donetsk region).

### Neutralization of Air Defense Systems and Troop Concentrations

During the operation, elements of the enemy's air defense and radar support systems were destroyed. The list of hit targets includes:

- Tor-M2 surface-to-air missile system;

- Two Nebo-SV radar stations;

- Nebo-U, Kasta-2E2, and Gamma-S1M radar stations.

In addition, Ukrainian military forces struck areas of concentration of Russian troops in the Bohatyry and Novoukrainka areas of the Donetsk region.

### Debunking Rumors about Command

Alongside the report on the strikes, the General Staff commented on information actively circulating online in recent days. This refers to rumors about the possible resignation of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrsky. The department officially stated that such reports do not correspond to reality.

The Defense Forces emphasized that Ukrainian military personnel will continue to systematically conduct operations aimed at reducing the combat potential of the Russian army and ending the armed aggression.
