Russia reported advances on all Ukrainian fronts on Monday as Ukraine attempted to attack Russia's Novovoronezh nuclear power plant.
Russian army took control of one settlement each in Donetsk and Zaporizhia and carried out strikes on energy and transportation facilities, fuel depots, and temporary deployment points of Ukrainian armed forces and foreign mercenaries in 148 regions on Monday. They also intercepted 416 fixed-wing drones, Russian Defense Ministry said on Tuesday.
Russia's supreme commander-in-chief Valery Gerasimov said on Tuesday that Russian troops were advancing in all directions, while Ukrainian army tried to stabilize the situation on the front line and delay the Russian offensive.
A Ukrainian combat drone attempted to attack the Novovoronezh nuclear power plant overnight but was destroyed before causing any damage, Russian authorities said on Tuesday.
Plant operator Rosenergoatom said the drone was downed by technical defenses near the facility in the Voronezh region and detonated after hitting the cooling tower of Unit 6, which remains in operation.
"There was no structural damage or casualties," the state nuclear energy company said in a statement, adding that the plant's safety systems were not affected, and radiation levels at and around the site remain normal.
Ukrainian Defense Forces engaged in 193 combat clashes with Russian forces on Monday, General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said on Tuesday.
Ukrainian forces repelled Russian attacks from multiple directions and launched offensives against Russia in the directions of Kupyanska, Toretsk, and Novopavlivka.
Ukrainian troops attacked Russian personnel, their weapons and military equipment concentrations, drone control points and command posts, destroying 338 Russian tactical drones, said the General Staff.

Interpol Secretary General Valdecy Urquiza has hailed China as a strong supporter and partner of the organization in the fight against fraud.
Urquiza praised China for its efforts on the sidelines of the Inaugural Conference of the International Alliance Combating Telecom and Cyber Fraud, which was held in Lianyungang, east China's Jiangsu Province, on Thursday.
At the conference, the China-initiated international alliance aimed at countering cross-border telecom and cyber fraud was established.
Interpol, formally known as the International Criminal Police Organization, is the world's largest international police organization, and has 196 member countries, aiming to help police in all of them to work together to make the world a safer place.
Noting that fraud and cyber-related crimes have become the priority for member countries of Interpol around the globe, Urquiza said initiatives such as the alliance are key on the fight against those threats, while describing the alliance as a "very good step."
Speaking of cooperation between China and Interpol, Urquiza highlighted China's notable contribution to fighting fraud-related crimes in recent years.
"China has been a strong supporter and partner of Interpol for the past years, especially in the fight against fraud. We have partnered with China a couple of years ago to enhance the efforts on building capacity and coordinating operational activities to fight crimes related to fraud," he told China Global Television Network (CGTN).
"With that, we establish an operation that is called the First Light Operation, which is one of the main areas of work of Interpol on the fight against fraud. Under this operation, we have been able to arrest more than 11,000 criminals that were operating fraud schemes and we have been able to locate and seize more than 600 million dollars that were related to criminal activities on fraud," said Urquiza.
