July 2025 became the first month to register over 6,000 Russian drone attacks on Ukraine, following June's milestone of surpassing 5,000 launches for the first time.
The new offensive in Kursk Oblast targets Russian logistics and advances towards the Glushkovo district center. While Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has highlighted a stark imbalance in artillery capabilities, with only 4 out of 14 planned brigades fully equipped due to the slow pace of Western aid.
He also reported that Russian drone attacks on Ukraine have intensified, with over 640 Shahed-type drones launched at the country in September alone.
