Ukrainian forces, specifically the Odessa Marines of the 35th Separate Marine Brigade, destroyed a Russian military column, including a tank and supporting vehicles, with artillery and UAV operations. Separately, Ukraine's air defense successfully repelled an overnight drone attack, shooting down 60 out of 84 launched Russian drones, as reported this morning. The precise timing of the destruction of the Russian column was not specified, but the 35th Separate Marine Brigade stated that the invaders attempted to advance using "two cars and motorcycles" in addition to the lead tank. The brigade confirmed that "hostile equipment and all occupiers - destroyed." In the overnight drone attack, Russia launched a total of 84 drones, including over 50 Shaheds, from various directions. Ukraine's air defense systems intercepted and neutralized 60 of these drones. However, at least 23 drones managed to hit 10 different locations across Ukraine. In related military technology news, Defense Express reported that Russia has developed a new fiber-optic naval drone. This drone is designed to function as a "kamikaze" weapon, carry FPV drones, and attack Ukrainian naval drones, with potential targets including Mykolaiv, Odesa, and Kherson.
