Ukrainian military forces conducted a series of strikes against Russian radar stations and command posts on October 24, 2026. The operations specifically targeted sites across the Belgorod, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson oblasts.
Why it matters
Targeting radar and command infrastructure degrades the operational capability of Russian forces by disrupting communication and surveillance networks. These strikes coincide with wider attacks on troop concentrations in frontline oblasts.
Russia recorded 1,850 soldiers killed or wounded in the past day, bringing total personnel losses to 1,578,450. These casualties occurred alongside targeted strikes on military infrastructure in Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson oblasts.
