Overview
- The Ukrainian General Staff reported on Thursday and Friday that Russian forces suffered significant single‑day losses, including dozens of artillery and air‑defence systems and more than a thousand personnel across the two days.
- Fighting remained intense on the eastern front with concentrated clashes reported around Pokrowsk, Kostjantyniwka and near Bachmut and Ukrainian forces saying they repelled multiple Russian assault attempts.
- Kyiv’s military and the General Staff documented heavy use of precision weapons by Russia, reporting hundreds of guided bombs and thousands of kamikaze drones used in recent waves of attacks.
- New rounds of strikes hit Kyiv and nearby suburbs, with local officials reporting three civilians killed in Browary and the Ukrainian Air Force saying dozens of ballistic missiles were used and none were intercepted.
- All loss and strike tallies come from Ukrainian military sources and are not independently verified, and analysts warn limited Western interceptor stocks, including for Patriot systems, could deepen civilian risk and strain munitions resupply this winter.
