The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned a Ukrainian drone strike on an Iranian cargo vessel in the Caspian Sea, which Zelensky claims was shipping military equipment from Russia to Iran.

They stated that Iran "will never hesitate to defend itself and its national interests", and characterised the attacks as an act of aggression and a continuation of Ukraine's "hostile approach" to Iran.

Iranian deterrence achieved? It's been two nights in a row now.

The 1st Corps of the Ukrainian National Guard "Azov" repelled a massive Russian mechanised assault in the Dobropillya direction on July 22, near the village of Shakhove.

The attack involved a large column of at least 13 Russian tanks and armoured vehicles, BM-21 "Grad" MLRS, a Tornado-S MLRS, light equipment, motorbikes, as well as Gerbera and Lancet drones.

Ukrainian forces repelled the attack using artillery, MLRS, FPV drones, pre-placed anti-tank mines, and tactical aviation. They carried out an airstrike on a bridge in Novoekonomichne used by the Russians, and then destroyed pontoon bridges set up later. They struck the Tornado-S launcher with an FPV drone (as well as reportedly the Grad launcher too), shot down Russian Gerbera and Lancet drones, and targeted Russian infantry, tanks, armoured vehicles, and motorcycles with FPV drones.

Russian sources later confirmed that no advances were made as a result of this attack.

NASA FIRMS data indicates that two large fires are burning at an industrial; zone in the Solomianskyi District of Kyiv following last night's Russian Iskander-M ballistic missile attack.
