Ukraine's SBU reported striking over 21,000 Russian targets in a 40-day operation, while navy and special forces executed evacuations and enemy captures.

The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) disclosed the results of a 40-day strategic campaign designed to press Russia toward concluding the war. According to the SBU, the operation damaged or destroyed more than 21,000 items of Russian military equipment and infrastructure, while inflicting nearly 5,000 enemy casualties.

Concurrently, Ukrainian special forces conducted targeted operations across multiple sectors. The Ukrainian Navy's "Angels" special intelligence unit successfully evacuated a married couple—relatives of a Ukrainian military officer—from Russian-occupied territory, where they had been under surveillance by Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB). Furthermore, Ukraine's Special Operations Forces reported capturing two Russian soldiers during a covert raid. Meanwhile, local authorities in Kherson documented a targeted Russian drone attack on a civilian street vendor, who survived the strike.
