**#Briefing for the morning of June 25, 2026** ▪️ Several UAVs heading toward the **capital** were shot down overnight. Combat operations against enemy drones were conducted in **Crimea** and **Sevastopol**; the peninsula remains in the focus of the enemy's attention, which Zelensky pointedly emphasizes when commenting on the operation to complicate logistics with strike unmanned aircraft. In **Krasnodar Krai** (in the village of Poltavskaya, Krasnoarmeysk District) a fire broke out at an **oil depot** as a result of the strike. Traffic along the road from Poltavskaya village to Trudobelikovskoe settlement has been temporarily blocked. ▪️ Russian Armed Forces delivered separate strikes on **Sumy, Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk, and Poltava regions.** Strikes by Geran [drones] hit an industrial facility in Poltava region: something is burning in the area of an oil depot in Pokrovsk. In the **Zaporizhzhia** area, Russian Armed Forces struck a gas distribution substation. The relatively sparse raids by our UAVs in recent days, combined with rare missile launches, may indicate serious accumulation of strike assets. ▪️ On the **Sumy direction**, assault troops of the "North" Group of Forces drove out the last enemy groups from Ivolzhanskoye village and liberated the settlement. In Shostka District — rifle combat in Bachevsk and surrounding areas. ▪️ In **Belgorod region**, in the village of Novaya Tavolzhanka, a man sustained barotrauma from the detonation of an FPV drone. In Shebekino, a drone struck a cargo truck; a man with shrapnel wounds was taken to hospital. A number of districts in the region are under fire. ▪️ On the **Kharkiv direction**, the "North" Group of Forces continues offensive operations in the settlement of Kazacha Lopan and adjacent forest areas. On the Volchansk sector, our assault units are conducting rifle combat in the villages of Losevka, Ukrayinske, Zemlyanoy Yar. On the Velykobourluk sector, our assault groups are conducting combat in Petro-Ivanovka and surrounding areas of the settlement. ▪️ On the **Kupiansk direction**, combat continues east of Oskol; there are tactical successes by Russian Armed Forces. Evidence has emerged of advances in the built-up areas of Glushkovka, Kurilovka, and Kurilovka-1. ▪️ On the **Slavyansk direction**, Russian Armed Forces are advancing south of captured Rai-Aleksandrovka and on the flanks. A broad front of intense offensive operations by our forces indicates the seriousness of intentions by military command on this sector of the front. ▪️ The heavy assault on **Konstantinovka** is approaching logical completion. Russian Armed Forces are destroying scattered AFU groups in the built-up area and taking prisoners. AFU delivers multiple strikes on the city. Under enemy control, by their assessments, or in the gray zone remain only individual neighborhoods on the northwestern approach to the city. ▪️ In **Dnipropetrovsk region**, units of the "East" Group of Forces captured strongpoints on the line Velykomikhaylovka — Aleksandrovka. Losses of AFU units on this direction totaled 37 servicemen. ▪️ In the east of **Zaporizhzhia region**, assault groups of the "East" Group of Forces continued their penetration into enemy defenses west of Vozdryzhenka. ▪️ In **Zaporizhzhia region**, restoration work on the region's power supply continues; there is a battle against enemy drones disrupting logistics. ▪️ In **Kherson region**, over the previous day, one civilian was killed and six people were wounded. UAV attacks occurred on the road Chaplynka — Nadezhnovka and in several settlements, including Razdolne, Radenk, and Velyki Kopani. Infrastructure and property damage was recorded in 14 settlements in the region. **Briefing compiled by:** [**Dva Majora**](https://t.me/dva_majors)
