Strike on the command post
The day before, the Armed Forces of Ukraine successfully attacked a command post of Russian troops in the Belgorod region. The enemy used this facility to coordinate hostilities and plan attacks on Sumy region. The destruction of the command post was another significant blow to the logistics and management of the occupation forces.
The Ukrainian military continues to demonstrate a high level of effectiveness in the fight against the aggressor, inflicting significant losses in both manpower and equipment. The destruction of key facilities, such as command posts, weakens the enemy’s ability to conduct offensive operations, bringing Ukraine closer to victory.
