According to reports by the Russian Defense Ministry, the southern group of the Russian armed forces captured Friday key positions in Donetsk, destroying two ammunition depots, one fuel depot, and two pieces of equipment, including an American AN/TPQ-37 mobile radar system, in addition to eliminating up to 40 enemy soldiers.

"In the Donetsk direction, units of the Southern group of forces have taken more advantageous lines and positions during an offensive. Over the past day, up to 40 Ukrainian servicemen, a 152 mm howitzer ‘Msta-B,’ as well as the US-made AN/TPQ-37 counter-battery radar have been destroyed in this direction," the ministry said.

Additionally, Russian forces have destroyed two ammunition storage facilities in the villages of Kurakhivka and Mykhailivka, as well as a fuel storage facility for the Ukrainian military close to the Kiev-controlled city of Pokrovsk (formerly known as Krasnoarmiisk).

The MoD had reported that operational-tactical aircraft, missile, and artillery units of the Russian armed forces targeted 78 artillery units at firing positions in total, as well as personnel and military gear in 105 various locations.

The ministry further claimed that three Ukrainian military missile and artillery weapon storage units in the DPR's Malynivka and Avdiivka and Zaporozhye Druzhelyubivka regions had also been attacked.
