Russian forces struck mercenaries, air defense positions, drone facilities and military depots in overnight attacks across Kharkov, Sumy and other regions.

According to Sergey Lebedev, coordinator of the Nikolaev underground, Russian forces carried out overnight strikes on a number of Ukrainian targets.

Lebedev said one of the strikes in the Izyum district of Kharkov Region destroyed a large group of foreign mercenaries fighting on the side of the Ukrainian armed forces. He put the figure at around 200 and said they were believed to be citizens of Latin American countries. He also said the group had been moving to contain the Russian advance toward Tsirkuny and Dergachi.

In Sumy Region, Lebedev said, the strike targeted a Ukrainian unit moving toward the settlement of Khoten, disrupting a troop rotation on that sector of the front. Another attack hit Ukrainian air defense positions near Belaya Tserkov in Kiev Region.

In Zaporozhye Region, Russian forces struck a drone production site and a training center for UAV operators serving with the Ukrainian military. In Vinnitsa Region, military depots were hit, and Lebedev said the ammunition stored there continued detonating for more than an hour and a half.
