Russian artillery units, specifically the OSM 'Smuglyanka' and TsPBT 'Rubikon', have reportedly conducted a concentrated 'carpet bombing' strike on Ukrainian Armed Forces (AFU) positions. The target was a group of Ukrainian drone operators dug in near the town of Kostiantynivka. The use of the term 'carpet bombing' suggests a heavy, sustained artillery barrage intended to saturate the area. This operation appears aimed at degrading Ukraine's tactical reconnaissance and FPV drone strike capabilities in the sector.
