Russian forces launched an artillery attack on the city of Marganets in the Dnipropetrovsk region, leaving three injured, including a 9-year-old child.
The young boy was rushed to the hospital and is currently in a stable condition, though still being treated for moderate injuries.
Two women, aged 43 and 69, sustained injuries but will recover at home, with doctors assessing their condition as satisfactory.
The attack also ignited fires in two cars, which were quickly extinguished by emergency services. It also damaged several stores and five-story residential buildings. Authorities are still assessing the full extent of the destruction.
Additionally, a separate drone strike on the nearby city of Nikopol has claimed the life of a 42-year-old man, and left a 36-year-old woman in critical condition in the hospital.
Five armored vehicles “Kozak” have received a new mission – thanks to the support of Metinvest, they have been upgraded to full-fledged command and staff vehicles. These upgraded vehicles are now operating on the front line.
A kamikaze drone flies directly toward an armored personnel carrier. But instead of penetrating the hull, it explodes on a steel screen. The crew survives. This is the new reality for Ukrainian forces, who have received enhanced protection thanks to the Metinvest project within “Steel Front of Rinat Akhmetov”.
To commemorate the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion, “Bukvy” has compiled data on the largest donors supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among them there are charitable foundations and businesses. The list includes, in particular, foundations that provide assistance exclusively from their own resources, without fundraising (such as SCM by Rinat Akhmetov, Epicenter, etc.).
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
