Ukraine’s SBU reported results from a 40-day strategic campaign, while special forces executed targeted missions across occupied and frontline areas.

Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) reported substantial results from a 40-day strategic campaign designed to press Russia toward ending the war, claiming strikes on more than 21,000 military assets and infrastructure targets alongside nearly 5,000 Russian casualties.

In concurrent tactical actions, special reconnaissance forces from the Ukrainian Navy, known as "Angels," evacuated a couple from Russian-occupied territory to protect them from intense Russian surveillance aimed at pressuring their relative in Ukraine's military. Additionally, Special Operations Forces covertly captured two sleeping Russian soldiers during a stealth mission. On the Zaporizhzhia front, Ukraine's 118th Separate Mechanized Brigade stated that Russian forces falsely attributed a failed assault near Mala Tokmachka to a river wider than the Dnipro, despite only a small creek crossing the area.
