The Ukrainian military has destroyed a significant amount of Russian weaponry in a strike against a railway hub in the eastern region of Luhansk, CNN reported Friday, citing Ukrainian officials.
Russia also suffered substantial losses in Kherson, Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk, according to the General Staff.
In recent weeks, Ukraine has targeted Russian supply lines in Luhansk as it seeks to build on its successful offensive in neighboring Kharkiv.
In other areas, some 150 Russian soldiers had been killed and about 100 injured by Ukrainian attacks in Khlibodarivka (Donetsk region), Tokmak (Zaporizhzhia region) and Tokarivka (Kherson region), the General Staff said.
It also claimed that three S-300 units had been destroyed. S-300 missiles have been causing devastating damage in central Ukraine, especially in Zaporizhzhia and Mykolaiv.
A senior US military official confirmed Friday that Ukrainian forces continue to make progress in the southern region of Kherson, regaining control over more land previously occupied by Russia.
“We have seen gains in the north now, really the line of advance for the Ukrainians, just north of the city of Mylove, and then extending essentially to the north and west with a number of small towns and villages that the Ukrainians have been able to clear of the Russians,” the official said according to CNN.
