Ukraine Reports Heavy Casualties Among Russian Forces in Recent Strikes

Ukraine has claimed significant success in its military operations, asserting that two recent drone strikes resulted in the deaths of at least 165 Russian personnel in occupied territories. The first strike targeted a drone pilot training camp in Snizhne, killing 65 cadets and an instructor, while the second hit a security service headquarters in Kherson, reportedly killing and injuring nearly 100 Russians.
