Strikes on Military Targets in Occupied Territories
In addition to the attack on the factory in the Bryansk region, Ukrainian command reported hits on several other military facilities of the Russian Federation in temporarily occupied territories. In particular, drone control points were destroyed in the areas of Zaliznychnyi and Dolynka in the occupied part of the Zaporizhzhia region, as well as a command and observation post near Uspenivka in Dnipropetrovsk region.
Damage was also recorded to a concentration of enemy personnel near Sosnivka, a logistics supply depot in the Yakymivka area of the Zaporizhzhia region, and a concentration area of weapons and military equipment near Novosvitlivka in the temporarily occupied territory of Luhansk.

Since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russian regions and occupied territories have regularly faced drone attacks and shelling. Ukrainian military officials emphasize that they are deliberately working to weaken the rear bases of the Russian Federation’s army to reduce its offensive potential.
