In brief

Ukraine’s 7th Air Assault Corps said troops destroyed or hit more than 400 Russian motor vehicles and motorcycles over the past week. It also reported targeting supply routes to Huliaipole, which it described as important to Russian plans for a further advance.

Ukrainian troops destroyed or hit more than 400 Russian motor vehicles and motorcycles over the past week, Ukraine’s 7th Air Assault Corps told Novynarnia. The corps said the total was 60% higher than in the previous period.

The corps said Ukrainian forces were targeting logistics routes leading to Huliaipole. In its assessment, Russian forces continue to view the town as a springboard for a further advance towards Zaporizhzhia. It also said Russian troops had begun complaining about Ukrainian FPV drones operating along those routes.

Russian movements increased during the past week, including around Huliaipole and Dorozhnianka to its south, the corps said. It described Russian forces using motor vehicles and motorcycles to move personnel along various routes, including dirt roads.

The corps said Ukrainian troops used the full range of available weapons against those movements, so the vehicle total cannot be attributed solely to FPV drones. Novynarnia’s report did not give separate figures for vehicles destroyed and otherwise hit, or specify the calendar boundaries of either reporting period.
