Russian Forces Launch Heavy Glide Bomb Campaign Against Druzhkivka
Russian forces have intensified their assault on Druzhkivka and surrounding settlements in the Donetsk region using heavy glide bomb strikes.

The aerial bombardment is reportedly aimed at destroying the city's infrastructure to facilitate further advances in the Kostyantynivka direction, where ground clashes remain frequent and the humanitarian situation continues to deteriorate.
