Ukrainian forces struck several Russian military facilities in the Bryansk region during operations carried out on October 28 and overnight into October 29, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The targets included a Shahed-type drone storage facility, a drone launch site, and a fuel depot.

The strikes targeted three facilities supporting Russia’s attack drone operations near Navlya in the Bryansk region.
According to the General Staff, the targets included a warehouse storing Geran-type attack drones, a drone operating base, and a depot containing fuel and lubricants.
The Ukrainian military said the strikes were intended to reduce Russia’s ability to launch drone attacks against Ukraine, including its civilian infrastructure, using various types of unmanned aerial vehicles.
In addition to the drone-related facilities, Ukrainian forces targeted several other Russian military installations across the Bryansk region.
Two radar stations were struck near Starodub and the settlement of Medvedove, while drone command and control posts were targeted near Savlukove and Vitovka.
The General Staff noted that damaging Russian radar stations creates gaps in the country’s radar coverage, potentially weakening its ability to monitor aerial activity.
Beyond the Bryansk region, Ukrainian forces also struck a Russian command and observation post near Novohrodivka in Ukraine’s Donetsk region.

Separately, Ukraine’s 33rd Separate Mechanized Brigade reported on October 29 that Ukrainian forces had destroyed the command post of Russia’s 26th Tank Brigade using HIMARS following months of reconnaissance.
According to the brigade, Ukrainian reconnaissance units monitored the facility for several months, refining its coordinates and gathering intelligence to confirm the target’s location.
Once the command post had been positively identified, Ukrainian forces carried out the strike using HIMARS. The brigade said two munitions were sufficient to destroy the facility.
