Ukrainian strikes target Russian rocket plant as frontline combat intensifies

Ukrainian forces launched long-range missile and drone attacks targeting strategic Russian facilities in the Samara region. Satellite imagery and local reports indicate impacts at the Progress Rocket Space Centre, which produces Soyuz launch vehicles, and the nearby Aviakor aircraft repair plant. Ukrainian strikes also targeted sites across the Nizhny Novgorod, Penza, and Rostov regions, with potential impacts near the Savasleyka airfield.

On the ground, combat intensified across the eastern theater, where Ukrainian military officials reported over 250 engagements within 24 hours. Russian troops attempted to advance near the Oskil River on the Kupyansk axis and expanded operations south of Dobropillia, while conducting heavy assaults along the Lyman and Kostyantynivka sectors.
