Ukrainian artillery units from the fire support command have conducted a series of strikes against russian positions in the Kramatorsk and Kupiansk sectors, as well as the Serebrianskyi Forest area. According to official reports, the strikes were aimed at disrupting concentrations of enemy personnel and infrastructure.
During the course of these operations, artillery crews reportedly destroyed nine russian shelters. These positions were used for troop protection and likely served as staging areas for infantry or equipment. Their destruction may reduce the enemy’s ability to maintain positions in forward zones.

Two enemy unmanned aerial vehicle control points were also targeted and destroyed. These facilities are typically used to manage drone reconnaissance or strike missions. Eliminating such assets can impair local intelligence-gathering and aerial targeting operations.
In addition to the fixed infrastructure, three russian infantry groups were hit during the strikes. The report did not specify whether these units were stationary or maneuvering at the time of impact, but their elimination suggests effective targeting coordination.
The strikes reportedly resulted in a number of russian personnel being killed or wounded. While exact casualty figures remain unverified, Ukrainian sources describe the losses as significant within the scope of the engagement.
The operations were conducted by Ukrainian artillery personnel with coordination and target confirmation, likely using a combination of drone surveillance and fire adjustment systems. This aligns with broader trends in Ukraine’s use of precision indirect fire in contested areas.
Such actions form part of ongoing efforts to degrade enemy logistics, command infrastructure, and troop concentrations along active frontlines. Artillery remains a central component of positional warfare in the east of Ukraine, where both sides rely heavily on firepower to shape tactical conditions.
