Ukrainian forces engage in Kostiantynivka as Russia launches aerial assault

Ukrainian forces are conducting urban clearing operations in Kostiantynivka against enemy personnel, with a battalion commander indicating the city is "semi-encircled" due to Russian advances near Chasiv Yar and Berestky. Meanwhile, Russia initiated an overnight aerial attack involving two Iskander-M ballistic missiles and 221 attack drones. Ukrainian air defenses intercepted 195 drones, though missile and 21 drone impacts were reported across nine locations. Separately, President Zelenskyy announced that Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces have, in their inaugural year, targeted Russian assets worth nearly $40 billion, attributing these diverse strikes to saving lives and disrupting Russian logistics.
