Ukrainian security and military units reported significant operational achievements, including strategic strikes, covert rescues from occupied zones, and tactical captures.

Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) has detailed the outcomes of a 40-day strategic campaign intended to press Russia toward ending the war, claiming strikes on over 21,000 military targets and nearly 5,000 Russian casualties.

In parallel operational developments, the Ukrainian Navy unit "Angels" evacuated a couple from occupied territory who were under Russian surveillance due to family ties to a defender. Elsewhere, Special Operations Forces covertly captured two sleeping Russian soldiers during a stealth raid.

Meanwhile, Ukraine's 118th Separate Mechanized Brigade reported that Russian troops falsely claimed a "river wider than the Dnipro" obstructed their failed assault near Mala Tokmachka in Zaporizhzhia, despite only a small creek being present in the area.
