The Russian armed forces have taken control over the settlement of Baksheevka in the Kharkov region, the Russian Ministry of Defense said on Tuesday.
"Units of the Sever [North] group of forces have actively taken control over the settlement of Baksheevka in the Kharkov region," the ministry said in a statement.
The gains demonstrate the continued tactical momentum of Russian forces along the front lines. The simultaneous neutralisation of significant Ukrainian personnel across multiple battlegroups, coupled with the extensive interception of drones and missiles, underscores Russia's capacity to sustain coordinated offensive and defensive operations.
Collectively, these actions reflect a deliberate strategy to erode Ukrainian military capabilities while consolidating control over key areas.
Ukraine lost over 355 soldiers in combat against Russia's Tsentr (Center) battlegroup over the past day, in addition to losses in manpower and equipment on other fronts.
"The losses of the Ukrainian armed forces amounted to over 355 military personnel, four armored fighting vehicles, 15 vehicles and two field artillery guns," the ministry said in a statement.
This is in addition to over 275 Ukrainian soldiers eliminated over the past day by Russia's Sever (North) battlegroup, over 345 by the Vostok (East) battlegroup, over 210 by the Zapad (West) battlegroup, up to 215 by the Yug (South) battlegroup, and up to 35 by the Dnepr battlegroup, the ministry said.
Russian air defense forces destroyed 753 drones and 16 aircraft bombs of the armed forces of Ukraine in the past day.
"A total of 16 guided aerial bombs and 753 aircraft-type unmanned aerial vehicles were shot down by air defense systems," the ministry said.
