The Ukrainian border guard has published footage of drone attacks aimed at Russian artillery, including the self-propelled Msta howitzers, as part of its ongoing efforts in the southern front near Sloviansk. These attacks are significant as they demonstrate Ukraine's continued capability to strike deep into Russian-held territories, targeting military assets that include D-30 and D-20 howitzers beyond the immediate front lines.

In a related development, Dnipro city has decided to remove the statue of General Vasily Margelov, the commander of the USSR Airborne Forces, with plans to replace it with a monument honoring the Ukrainian airborne troops. This symbolic move reflects Ukraine's ongoing effort to assert its national identity and independence from its Soviet past, amidst the ongoing conflict with Russia.

Since the beginning of the year, Ukrainian drones have reportedly attacked approximately 240 targets within the depths of enemy territory, affecting not only military bases but also the fuels and defense industries, as well as air defense systems and radar stations. This highlights Ukraine's evolving military strategy and their use of drone operations to disrupt Russian forces significantly.
