Moscow, Russia – The Russian Ministry of Defense announced that its forces continued their military operations on various fronts, confirming the deaths of approximately 1,260 Ukrainian soldiers in the past few hours.
The ministry also announced strikes targeting military installations and infrastructure, including facilities associated with Ukrainian military airfields.
Precision attacks with high-powered weapons
The Russian Ministry of Defense stated in an official statement that Russian forces
carried out precision strikes using high-precision weapons and drones,
targeting military positions and logistical facilities used by Ukrainian forces to support their combat operations.
The statement also indicated that the strikes included facilities at military airfields and technical and supply support centers.
The statement added that Russian forces were able to improve their tactical positions in several areas of engagement.
Russian forces continued to target concentrations of Ukrainian troops and military equipment,
including armored and artillery units and field command centers.
The Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed that its air defense systems intercepted
and destroyed a number of Ukrainian drones and missiles.
This comes as part of ongoing efforts to protect military sites and infrastructure within the operational areas.
Achieving gains on the ground
These developments come at a time of escalating fighting between Russia and Ukraine.
The exchange of military strikes and airstrikes continues as both sides attempt to gain ground and strengthen their position.
There was no immediate comment from the Ukrainian side regarding the figures and details announced by Moscow.
Furthermore, the reported casualties are difficult to independently verify
given the ongoing military operations and the complexities of the situation on the ground.
Observers believe that targeting military airfield infrastructure reflects the importance of air warfare in the conflict,
as the warring parties seek to reduce their adversaries’ ability to conduct air operations and transport military supplies.
Therefore, air facilities have become among the most sensitive targets in the war, which has now lasted for more than four years.
