Battlegroup East units supported by aviation and artillery destroyed an ammunition depot, a stronghold and a vehicle with Ukrainian army fighters near Urozhainoe settlements in the Donetsk People’s Republic, Battlegroup spokesman Oleg Chekhov said.
There are many speculations in Western states regarding a crash of a plane said to be carrying Wagner Group private military company (PMC) leader Yevgeny Prigozhin, all this is an absolute lie, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Friday.
"Leading units of the Battlegroup East with the support of artillery and aviation delivered a fire strike against the enemy in the vicinity of Urozhainoe. Two temporary stationing points of the Ukrainian army were hit; an ammunition depot, a stronghold, and a vehicle with fighters were destroyed. Concentrated manpower was hit. A strike UAV destroyed an armored personnel carrier with Ukrainian army infantry," Chekhov said.
Servicemen of the Battlegroup are demonstrating courage and dedication when accomplishing combat missions, the spokesman added.
Depleted Uranium Munitions Make Ukraine 'Unlivable' - Moscow
Deliveries of depleted uranium munitions to Ukraine by Western countries lead to radiation contamination of soils in the country and make it uninhabitable, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.
"Due to the supply of radioactive and highly toxic British and American depleted uranium munitions, Ukraine is turning into an uninhabitable land. Radiation contamination of the soil is already happening and is being objectively recorded," Zakharova said in an article on the kp.ru website.
She said the consequences of the use of such munitions could also affect neighboring Poland, where in May this year, as in the Khmelnytsky Region of Ukraine, there was a significant surge in background radiation.
"The reason is probably the same as in Ukraine: explosion of depleted uranium munitions placed in a depot in Khmelnytskyi," Zakharova said.
She said Ukrainians must demand that radioactive munitions be removed from their country as soon as possible.

Watch Russia's Tor-M2 Missile System Rocket Into Special Op Action
The Tor missile system, also known as the SA-15 Gauntlet, is a mobile air defense system designed to protect military and civilian targets from fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, and unmanned aerial vehicles. The Russian Ministry of Defense has released footage showing Battlegroup Vostok's Tor-M2 anti-aircraft missile system carrying out the elimination of air targets and protecting troops from enemy air attacks in the Zaporozhye direction of the special military operation.
The Tor-M2 anti-aircraft missile system is capable of detecting, capturing and destroying up to 4 air targets simultaneously. It takes only 2 minutes to occupy a firing point, deploy the system and detect the target. It takes another minute to capture and identify the target, then the anti-aircraft missile is launched vertically.
"Western analogues of anti-aircraft missile defense systems can only dream of entering the flight path this way," the Ministry of Defense emphasized.
The means of objective control show that a Shark-type Ukrainian reconnaissance drone was eliminated by the Tor-M2 SAM system when approaching the line of contact. Drones like these pose a serious threat, they are the ones that guide the HIMARS missiles to their targets.
"The difficulty is that NATO drones fly at low altitudes. Tough terrain... But we shoot them down anyway. No one can hide from us," said the deputy chief of the Tor-M2 SAM system.
In the past few days alone, the Air Defense Forces' Tor-M2 SAM systems have shot down more than a dozen enemy UAVs: attack, reconnaissance and kamikaze drones.
