Among the targets was a facility near Donetsk used by Russian forces to store, prepare, and launch attack drones.
The General Staff emphasized that systematically targeting such facilities is intended to reduce Russia’s ability to conduct drone strikes against civilian infrastructure across Ukraine.
In addition to the drone facility, Ukrainian forces struck Russian military logistics and supply depots near Popova Balka and Hirnyk in the Donetsk region.
According to the General Staff, the facilities were used to store supplies and equipment supporting Russian military units.
In a separate operation, the Ukrainian partisan movement ATESH claimed responsibility for sabotaging an electrical substation in Azov, Russia’s Rostov region, reportedly disrupting power supplies to the Azov Optical-Mechanical Plant, a defense facility belonging to Russia’s Tactical Missiles Corporation.
According to ATESH, the plant manufactures critical components for Russian missile systems, including the Otblesk navigation lidar and flight automation units for Kh-101 cruise missiles, as well as radar homing heads, thermal imaging equipment, and control systems used in R-37M, Kh-35U, Kh-59/Kh-69, and ballistic missiles.
