Russia's Battlegroup North said its artillery units killed 64 Ukrainian soldiers and destroyed ten unmanned-aerial-vehicle control posts in overnight operations, according to Russian state news agency TASS.
TASS reported that the battlegroup's artillery crews carried out more than 200 fire missions overnight, though the report did not specify the location of the operations or offer independent corroboration of the claimed casualties and equipment losses.
Russian military announcements of this kind are issued regularly during the war and typically cannot be independently verified. Ukraine had not commented on this specific claim at the time of the report, and its own account of the overnight fighting was not immediately available.
The reported action is consistent with the broader pattern of near-daily artillery and drone exchanges along the front lines of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, now in its fourth year.
