War in Ukraine

In Ukraine, the first jet-powered interceptor drones, designed to counter a new threat—jet-powered “shahids”—are undergoing combat testing.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated that Russia will not stop at the front lines, but will make its own methods of combat “much tougher in order to destroy everything that fuels Kyiv’s war machine from the West.”

Russia uses about 220 guided bombs every day against Ukrainian communities near the front lines. Despite international sanctions, the Russian defense industry continues to produce and modernize these weapons.

Last night, Russian troops attacked a high-rise building in Smila, in the Cherkasy region. The occupiers used a drone loaded with shrapnel to carry out the attack.

This morning, Russian troops launched a double strike with rocket-powered drones against a private residential building in the Buryn community in Sumy Oblast.

On the evening of August 13, Russian troops attacked the Zaporizhzhia district. A 25-year-old woman and a 5-year-old child were injured in the attack.

On the night of August 13, the Ukrainian Defense Forces carried out a series of strikes against enemy military targets on enemy territory and in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. In particular, the “Nebo-U” radar station in Sevastopol was struck.

In the Odesa region, Russian troops attacked a Ukrzaliznytsia locomotive for the second time on August 13. This time, a drone struck a diesel locomotive that was performing shunting operations. A child was injured in the attack.

On August 12, the Ukrainian Defense Forces carried out a series of strikes against enemy military targets in the temporarily occupied territory of Crimea.
