Russia on Monday claimed to have controlled one settlement in Ukraine's Donetsk region, while Ukraine said its troops attacked a large oil depot near the Port of Feodosia in eastern Crimea.

The Russian military also hit personnel and equipment concentrations in 129 areas and shot down five U.S.-made High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) rockets and 74 Ukrainian drones, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported.

In the meantime, the ministry said that Russian armed forces continued to rout Ukrainian troops that have invaded Russia's Kursk Oblast.

On the same day, the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces reported a total of 88 combat clashes in the frontline regions as of Monday afternoon, stating that the situation on the frontlines was still grim.

In addition, in the early morning of Monday, the Ukrainian army struck a large oil depot near the Port of Feodosia, an important port in eastern Crimea.

The fire at the oil depot caused no casualties and injuries and fuel leakage, with about 300 people evacuated, according to the Russian side.

The Russian Defense Ministry said on Sunday that its military attacked various targets such as Ukrainian military airports, drone command centers and oil depots, and also intercepted several HIMARS rockets.

The Russian military claimed to have destroyed a ship in Odessa that was transporting ammunition from Europe to the Ukrainian army.

The Ukrainian side noted that a cargo ship in Odessa was damaged by a Russian attack on Sunday, without injuries.

On the same day, the special forces of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry used attack drones to destroy Russia's "9K33 Osa" air-defense missile system, according to Ukraine.
