Ukrainian forces hit four Russian drone command hubs and damaged a key supply bridge connecting Rostov-on-Don to Crimea.

Ukrainian defense forces executed targeted strikes against four Russian unmanned aerial vehicle command centers across occupied regions and inside Russian territory, according to Ukraine's General Staff. The targets included a temporary control hub operated by Russia's specialized "Rubikon" drone unit in occupied Berdyansk.

Simultaneously, Ukrainian drone attacks damaged a bridge over the Mius River along the Novorossiya highway, a key transport link connecting Rostov-on-Don with occupied Crimea.

In Donetsk Oblast, Ukrainian commanders disclosed details regarding Operation "Vivaldi" near Lyman, noting that delayed operational reporting by local Russian officers provided Ukrainian assault troops critical time to secure initial territorial gains. While Russian military bloggers have acknowledged the lost positions, official Russian sources have remained silent on the advances.
