Russian artillery strikes Ukrainian positions near Verkhnyaya Tersa

Russian artillery units from the 'Vostok' military grouping have conducted a strike on Ukrainian forces in the Zaporizhzhia region. Using reconnaissance data from UAVs, 'Akatsiya' self-propelled howitzers targeted confirmed enemy troop positions and fortified encampments near the settlement of Verkhnyaya Tersa. The Russian military claims the strikes destroyed structures and positions in wooded areas, causing significant casualties. The operation reportedly disrupted Ukrainian plans to amass hidden reserves in the area.
