Moscow: Russia said its forces had carried out a series of strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure linked to the country's military-industrial complex.

In a statement on Sunday, Russia's Ministry of Defence said its tactical aircraft, attack drones, missile forces and artillery targeted facilities supplying energy to Ukrainian defence industries, as well as factories and storage sites used for drone production.

The ministry also said Russian forces struck temporary deployment points of Ukrainian armed units in 159 locations.

Moscow claimed the attacks resulted in Ukrainian losses of up to 1,280 personnel, along with significant damage to military equipment.

The Russian military further said its air defence systems shot down two guided aerial bombs, 31 HIMARS rockets and 68 Ukrainian drones.
