Ukrainian forces hit four Russian drone command centers and a critical Mius River bridge while revealing tactical details of Operation Vivaldi near Lyman.

Ukrainian forces executed a series of targeted strikes against Russian military infrastructure and drone operations. According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Ukrainian units struck four Russian uncrewed aerial vehicle command centers across occupied territories and inside Russia, including a facility operated by Moscow's specialized "Rubikon" drone unit in occupied Berdyansk.

Simultaneously, Ukrainian long-range drones hit a bridge crossing the Mius River along the Novorossiya highway. The transport route connects Russia's Rostov region to occupied Crimea and southern Ukraine.

Meanwhile, details surfaced regarding Ukrainian offensive operations near Lyman, code-named Operation Vivaldi. Ukrainian commanders noted that local Russian officers withheld news of initial position losses from senior leaders, giving Ukrainian assault units critical time to secure gains.
