In recent developments in the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, a Ukrainian drone strike destroyed a Russian T-72 tank in the occupied Donetsk region, as revealed by footage shared on social media by the 33rd Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian military. The video, showcasing the precision of the strike, resulted in the tank being reduced to a smouldering wreck, although the fate of the soldiers inside remains unknown. This incident occurs amidst reports of low morale among Ukrainian forces and pressures on their front lines.
Separately, the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv suffered a devastating attack from Russian forces, resulting in six fatalities and 11 injuries.
