According to Ukrainian military data, the strikes destroyed a site used for storing, preparing and launching strike drones near the temporarily occupied city of Donetsk. Another strike hit an enemy logistics and supply depot in Novosilske, in the temporarily occupied territory of Crimea.
Command posts
Ukrainian forces also struck two enemy command posts — one in Zaporizke in Donetsk region, and another in Kobylne in Zaporizhzhia region.
Six ground relay stations in Crimea
In the temporarily occupied Autonomous Republic of Crimea, six ground relay stations used to control "Geran"/"Herbera"-type strike drones were destroyed — two in Sterehushche, three near Oleniivka, and one in Chornomorske.
