Russian Forces Advance in Donetsk; Moscow Reports Repelling Drone Attack

Reports indicate that Russian forces have made advances in the Donetsk axis, with the battlefield situation in some areas shifting in favor of Moscow.

According to Russian media, a Russian military officer stated that Ukrainian armed forces have lost their ability to maneuver in the Dobropillya area, located in Donetsk. He added that Russian forces are targeting objectives from long distances and hold the initiative on the battlefield.

The military official further noted that Ukrainian forces try to move and advance during nighttime hours, but due to restricted routes and military pressure, effective maneuvering is not possible for them. He also mentioned that Ukrainian supply routes in parts of Donetsk recently encircled have been blocked.

Meanwhile, the Mayor of Moscow announced that at least 23 Ukrainian drones heading toward the Russian capital were shot down before reaching their targets. No further details have been provided regarding possible damages from this drone attack.
