Ukrainian forces reported new updates, including SBU campaign results, tactical strikes near Orikhiv, POW captures, and a special naval rescue operation.

Ukrainian defense and security forces have reported recent operational developments across multiple sectors.

The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) stated that a 40-day strategic campaign resulted in the destruction or damage of over 21,000 military assets and infrastructure targets, alongside nearly 5,000 personnel casualties.

On the Zaporizhzhia front, the 118th Separate Mechanized Brigade reported detecting and destroying Russian assault columns up to 10 kilometers before reaching defensive positions on the Orikhiv axis. Meanwhile, Ukrainian Special Operations Forces captured two Russian servicemen to replenish the prisoner exchange fund. In a separate operation, the Navy's "Angels" special reconnaissance unit successfully evacuated the relatives of a Ukrainian officer from occupied territory to counter surveillance and coercion attempts by Russian security services.
