Russian aircraft successfully struck Ukrainian drone assembly and repair factories, the Russian Defence Ministry said.
"Operational-tactical aviation, unmanned aerial vehicles, missile forces and artillery of the troop groups of the Armed Forces of Russia destroyed factories for the assembly and repair of unmanned aerial vehicles in Ukraine," the statement said.
In addition, three ammunition storage facilities and a fuel depot, a radar station and with a 79K6 Pelican antenna, as well as manpower and equipment in 118 regions of Ukraine were hit, the Russian Defense Ministry concluded.
A scene of terror in Kiev as the Russians advance with each passing day causing a suffocation of the Ukrainian political and military leadership.
Right now near Bakhmut is the village of Bohdanivka, which is apparently surrounded by the Russian army on three sides.
Russian paratroopers entered the village, causing dozens of Ukrainian soldiers to die, with the rest fleeing in disorderly fashion rather than in a coordinated disengagement.
A sign that the Ukrainians have very low morale and are not willing to put up a strong defence.
The Russians are advancing unabated in Kupiansk
The Russian Armed Forces are advancing on multiple fronts near Kupiansk, Russian media and independent sources now report.
In the ongoing conflict, serious battles are unfolding for control of Sunkivka, independent war correspondents report.
"Russian forces are making efforts to push the opponent away from this populated area, while the full occupation has not yet been confirmed," a Russian officer says as a spokesman for the Russian forces group "Center".
The Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) are constructing defensive fortifications beyond Sunkivka and mobilizing whatever reserves they have.
However, due to the simultaneous Russian advance on multiple fronts, the Ukrainians are forced to shift their units from one area to another, resulting in a loss of combat effectiveness.

"Meanwhile, the Ukrainian administration is deploying soldiers following the so-called "human wave attacks".
Ukrainian soldiers are attacking our positions without fire support, leading to significant personnel losses," the Russian officer said.
Western media and independent observers now agree, no matter what various sources say, that the Russians are advancing everywhere more or less advancing.
As long as this situation persists, and as long as the Ukrainians cannot close "gaps" in the admitted front, we are getting closer to the day when the Russians will not be hindered in their march to Kiev.
S. Ritter: "The US never paid attention to Ukraine, Russia was targeted"
Retired US Colonel Scotty Ritter gave a new explanation for Zelensky's visit to the US, which brought back memories of Vietnam.
Ritter, in a blunt report, stressed that the US was never really interested in Ukraine, but its deepest plan was to encircle Russia.
For this reason they are moving forces to the Baltic and the countries of the region.
He stressed that in this case Ukraine will be left to its own devices, because the cost of support is enormous and the US is not willing to go broke to save Zelensky and his government, which is why they will push for negotiations, since the Russians are really only interested in the Russian-speaking regions.
At the same time, Orban is closing the EU door on Ukraine.
"Budapest will not allow the EU to start negotiations on Ukraine's membership, even if Hungary is the only country in the bloc with such a position," Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said in an interview with the Mandiner website.
"The European Union is about to make a terrible mistake, which must be prevented. Even if 26 (other EU member states - Ed.) want to do it, we alone will be against it," he said, revealing the size of the trap that Zelensky and those who promised him everything have put his country in.
