Some details of Ukrainian successful operations are still being kept quiet about, but others are revealed eventually

Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine published footage of the missile attack on the port of Berdiansk city, southern Ukraine. The city has been in russian occupation since the very first days of russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
