Russia’s Defense Ministry reported that troops from the «Yug» (South) military group destroyed an enemy armored vehicle, disrupting the planned rotation of Ukrainian forces near Konstantinovka. The ministry also confirmed that Russian units identified and struck a Ukrainian ammunition and supply depot in the same sector.

According to the statement, the decision to destroy the vehicle was made immediately after detection. Artillery fire and FPV drones were used in the strike, resulting in the destruction of the transport along with the Ukrainian soldiers inside.

Military sources indicated that Russian forces continue to advance deeper into Konstantinovka in small infantry groups. Fighting is ongoing near the railway station and the settlement of Predtechino. The Matrona Moskovskaya mine has come under Russian control, while clashes persist in the areas of Nelepovka and Plescheyevka.
