Russian forces launched an Iskander-M missile strike on a Ukrainian military column near Stetsovka, Sumy Region.
The Russian Defense Ministry claims the attack destroyed an ammunition dump, 20 vehicles, and killed up to 65 troops.
Drone footage shows multiple explosions and a large fire, suggesting a cluster munition strike and secondary detonations.
This attack is part of recent Russian missile operations targeting various Ukrainian military assets, including HIMARS launchers, air defense systems, and aircraft across multiple regions.
The attack came after the Russian president publicly dismissed the idea of a temporary truce in Ukraine, claiming it would only benefit the Ukrainians.

Russian President Vladimir Putin escalated the war with a revenge-driven drone assault on Ukraine, launching more than 100 drones on December 22, a day after Ukraine struck high-rise buildings in Kazan, Russia. The attack targeted multiple Ukrainian cities, including Kyiv, Kherson, Mykolayiv, and Zaporizhzhya, causing significant damage to businesses and apartment buildings. Ukrainian air defenses managed to intercept 52 of the 103 drones, preventing casualties, though the strikes intensified fears of further infrastructure destruction. This deadly retaliation comes after a devastating attack in Kazan, Russia, on December 21, where Ukrainian forces targeted the capital of Tatarstan, marking a notable escalation in the conflict.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has sharply criticized both Ukraine and its Western allies for their failure to address the ongoing crisis in Donbass, accusing Ukraine of betraying peace efforts. In a recent interview, Putin stated that Russia should have launched military action against Kiev much earlier, warning that any inaction would have been a "crime" against Russia's national interests. He pointed to the failure of the Minsk agreements, which were intended to provide special status to the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, but were never fully implemented by Ukraine.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued a stern warning to Ukraine following a dramatic 9/11-style drone attack on Kazan, the capital of Tatarstan. The December 21 assault, involving eight drones, targeted residential buildings and an industrial facility, causing significant damage but no casualties. In response, Putin vowed harsh retaliation, promising that those responsible "will face many times greater destruction in their own country" and "will regret" their actions. He assured Tatarstan's leader, Rustam Minnikhanov, that all damages would be swiftly repaired. The Russian Defense Ministry reported that the attack was carried out in three waves using fixed-wing drones, with air defenses intercepting three and electronic warfare systems neutralizing another three. This unprecedented assault, deep within Russian territory and 1,379 kilometers from Ukraine, has escalated tensions further, drawing sharp condemnation from Moscow.

In a bold statement, Russian President Vladimir Putin hailed the Oreshnik ballistic missile as a “game-changer” in Russia’s defense capabilities, following its successful use in a strike on a Ukrainian weapons manufacturing facility in Kazan. Putin emphasized that the missile, capable of reaching speeds up to Mach 10, represents a significant leap in missile technology, showcasing Russia’s advancement in hypersonic warfare. The missile's deployment has raised alarms globally, as it is touted as virtually impossible to intercept by even the most advanced Western air defense systems. Putin’s remarks underscore Russia’s growing military might and serve as a stark warning to the West about the evolving balance of power in global defense.

In a decisive and powerful strike, Russian forces have targeted and destroyed a German-made Leopard tank, along with several other key military assets, in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region. Using kamikaze drones, the Russian military identified the Leopard tank through reconnaissance UAVs before launching a series of devastating drone attacks. The tank was seen engulfed in flames as it was struck multiple times. In addition to the Leopard tank, two more tanks, an M113 APC, and two pickup trucks were eliminated. Russian forces also neutralized five Soviet-made D30 howitzers and four U.S.-made M101 and M119 howitzers. This destruction occurred during a failed Ukrainian counter-attack, leading to significant losses for Kyiv in an ongoing battle for control in the region.

In a bold statement at the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin emphasized that Russia’s missile systems are far more advanced than those supplied to Ukraine by the West. He asserted that the Iskander short-range ballistic missiles and other Russian systems, including the hypersonic Kinzhal and Zircon missiles, far surpass Western weapons like the ATACMS, Storm Shadow, and SCALP missiles. Despite Western arms deliveries to Ukraine, Putin stressed that no amount of foreign aid will alter the situation on the front lines, as Russia continues to outpace NATO in missile production. Watch the full details of this statement and the implications for the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.

A Russian Lancet drone has reportedly destroyed a US-made HIMARS multiple-launch rocket system in Ukraine's Zaporozhye Region, signalling a potential blow to Ukraine's military capabilities. The strike, captured in an undated video released by the pro-Moscow Telegram channel 'The Wrong Side,' shows the HIMARS launcher being hit while on the move as part of a convoy near Novosoloshino. Although the system caught fire after the attack, it did not explode, as it was reportedly unloaded at the time. This incident highlights the growing challenges facing Ukraine’s defences amidst escalating Russian drone attacks and heavy losses on the frontlines. Russian forces have claimed significant destruction of Ukrainian military assets, including armoured personnel carriers, artillery systems, and ammunition depots. With casualties mounting and critical systems being targeted, Ukraine's defences appear increasingly strained.
