Ukraine Says It Struck Four Russian Drone Posts

Ukraine’s General Staff said Ukrainian forces struck four Russian drone-control posts within 24 hours, including a site linked to the Rubikon formation in occupied Berdiansk. The other reported targets were near Oleshky in Kherson Oblast, near Bilytske in Donetsk Oblast and in Russia’s Bryansk Oblast.

The General Staff described the Berdiansk facility as both a temporary deployment site and a drone-control post belonging to a Rubikon unit. It called the site the most significant target among the four. The Southern Defense Forces said it was 107 kilometers from the line of contact and released footage of the operation.

The General Staff said the other three posts were also struck during the same 24-hour period. It did not identify the units operating them. Ukrainian forces struck the Bryansk site near Aleksandrovskoye, according to the General Staff.

The Southern Defense Forces said personnel losses occurred among people who trained drone operators, but gave no number. The General Staff said losses were still being assessed. It did not say whether anyone was at the Berdiansk site when it was hit. Ukrainian military officials did not disclose what weapons were used.
