Ukrainian forces destroyed a Zircon hypersonic missile launcher in occupied Crimea during an overnight strike March 24, Ukraine's military intelligence agency said.

The assault, which came after overnight strikes across the country, was one of the largest of the war, the Ukrainian authorities said.

Russian forces have begun a spring offensive in eastern Ukraine, including the use of dozens of tanks and armored vehicles, according to the Ukrainian military and analysts.

Russian troops attempted to breach Ukrainian defenses across several sectors of the front line between March 17 and 20, Ukraine's Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said.

Ukraine has built a fast, low-cost defensive shield to stop Russian attacks with Iranian-designed Shahed drones.

Trump says aid for Ukraine depleted U.S. weapons stockpiles, but as the Iran war takes that mantle, Kyiv eyes opportunities to build long-term defense partnerships.

The same reasoning applies to the churches and other structures of cultural and historical value that have been damaged by Russian aggression in the war in Ukraine, she says. You assess the condition of the building, stabilize it and protect it until it can be fully restored again. These needs are widespread in Ukraine.

Ukraine is increasingly relying on M113 armored personnel carriers due to their availability and the demands of the modern drone-heavy battlefield.
