Overview
- Ukraine’s General Staff reported 137 combat engagements on March 10, citing 85 airstrikes with 262 guided bombs, 9,378 loitering munitions and 3,817 shelling incidents, with the fiercest fighting near Pokrovsk, Hulyaipole and Kostiantynivka.
- President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed a successful strike on a Bryansk factory that produced missile guidance systems, while Ukraine also reported hits on a Russian command post, a Buk‑M1 system, ammunition depots and oil facilities in Berdyansk and occupied Crimea overnight.
- Ukrainian forces continue localized counterattacks in the Zaporizhzhia–Oleksandrivka sector and on the Dnipropetrovsk–Donetsk–Zaporizhzhia seam, gains that ISW assesses could complicate Russia’s planned spring–summer offensive.
- Civilian infrastructure took fresh hits, including a strike on a Kharkiv meat‑processing plant that killed two and injured seven, a drone attack on a bus in Kherson that wounded nine, and power outages reported across five frontline regions.
- Kyiv’s security services charged IRGC brigadier general Abdolla Mehrabi over alleged deliveries of MD‑550 engines for Shahed‑type drones used by Russia, as EU leaders reaffirmed financial backing for Ukraine and pressed for a new sanctions package against Moscow.
