The new tallies point to a sharper turn toward standoff air attacks that strain front-line defenses.

Overview

  • Ukraine's General Staff said Russian forces used 7,987 guided aerial bombs in March, topping February's record by more than 1,500.
  • The month logged 4,985 combat engagements, with a single-day high of 286 clashes that signaled unbroken fighting along the front.
  • Artillery fire stayed heavy, with more than 115,000 strikes recorded in March, including 2,834 from multiple-launch rocket systems.

  • A daily update in early April counted 230 clashes, the General Staff said, showing the combat tempo remains high.
