The Russian army took control of the Novaya Ukrainka settlement in the Donetsk region, and launched a large-scale attack on Ukrainian military facilities and oil refineries using precision-guided weapons and drones, said the Russian Defense Ministry on Sunday.
According to the ministry's battle report, the Russian army repelled multiple attacks by the Ukrainian army and launched offensives in the directions of Kharkiv, Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk. The military operations killed and wounded more than 1,235 Ukrainian soldiers, destroyed two tanks, eight combat armored vehicles, one unmanned boat, 55 vehicles and other equipment of the Ukrainian army including self-propelled artillery. The Russian air defense forces shot down one Neptune missile and 102 fixed-wing drones of the Ukrainian army.
The Ukrainian Air Force issued a statement earlier Sunday saying that Russia once again launched a large-scale missile and drone attack on Ukraine from Saturday night to the early morning of Sunday.
Ukrainian Air Force spokesman said that considering the number of drones and various missiles used, this round of Russian attack was the "largest air strike" since the beginning of the conflict.

The world's first 20-megawatt offshore wind turbine was successfully installed in east China's Fujian Province on Tuesday, making it the first offshore wind turbine of this kind in the country to be installed, according to its developer China Three Gorges Corporation (CTG).
Once connected to the grid, the wind turbine is expected to generate more than 80 million kWh of electricity annually, which can meet the yearly power demand of around 44,000 households, while saving approximately 24,000 tons of standard coal and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 64,000 tons.
The wind turbine is located more than 30 kilometers offshore in waters exceeding 40 meters in depth. Installation faced multiple challenges, including a narrow construction window during the monsoon season, complex sea conditions and high risks associated with high-altitude operations.
To overcome the difficulties, the construction team deployed a fourth-generation wind power installation vessel with a lifting capacity of 2,000 tons. Supported by high-precision positioning and intelligent pile-driving control systems, the team steadily lifted three 147-meter-long blades to a height of 174 meters, accurately connecting them to the hub. The completed rotor has a diameter of 300 meters and a swept area equivalent to nearly 10 standard football fields.
The turbine is part of a national key research and development program, with all its major components independently developed and produced in China.
