The Donetska region, particularly the Donetskyy district, has been a focal point of intense military activities. Ukrainian Special Operations Forces have conducted successful UAV strikes, targeting key enemy infrastructures such as ammo depots and fuel storage in the temporarily occupied territories. These operations aim to impair the Russian aggressors’ military capabilities. Recent nights have witnessed significant explosions, with power outages affecting vast areas including cities like Donetsk and Zuhres. The strategic application of UAVs has not only damaged enemy supply lines but also disrupted logistical operations, showcasing the Ukrainian defensive efforts to reclaim and stabilize the region.

How has the civilian population in Donetska region been impacted?

The civilian population in the Donetska region, particularly in occupied areas, has faced significant hardships due to the ongoing conflict.
