In addition, Russian forces attacked several settlements in Zaporizhzhia Oblas and shelled residential areas in Kurakhove, Donetsk Oblast, the military said.

Furthermore, Russian forces attacked settlements in Luhansk, Kharkiv, and Kherson oblasts.

Ukrainian forces conducted 11 attacks on Russian positions, targeting personnel, weapons, military equipment, and air defense systems.

"Russian military personnel know exactly where their drones are headed and how long they can stay in the air," President Volodymyr Zelensky said, commenting on the attacks. "The routes are always calculated. This cannot be an accident, a mistake, or the initiative of some lower-level commanders."

It is the third time Russian forces have used pipelines as a tactic, which they first adopted during the Battle of Avdiivka. Back in March, around 100 troops passed through a gas pipeline to reach Ukrainian positions in Sudzha, in Russia’s Kursk Oblast.
