Ukrainian troops carried out strikes on multiple Russian-occupied facilities in Donetsk region. The attack took place near the city of Selydove, not far from Pokrovsk, and targeted key elements of the Russian military command and control system.

The operation involved units of the 7th Rapid Response Corps of the Ukrainian Air Assault Forces and fighters of the 412th Nemesis Brigade of the Unmanned Systems Forces. As a result of the attack, strikes on three important Russian military facilities were confirmed.
Among the targets was a temporary deployment site of a drone unit, which, according to preliminary data, was operating in the interests of the 76th Guards Air Assault Division of the Russian army. Russian servicemen were also inside the building, using it as a shelter.
Another target was the command post of the Zeus detachment of the 8th Separate Battalion of Unmanned Systemsof the 2nd Guards Combined Arms Army of Russia, where enemy personnel were present.
