Ukrainian long-range fires struck a temporary deployment point for a Russian drone unit in occupied Dovzhansk, roughly 150 kilometers behind active front lines, Kyiv-affiliated media reported Friday.
The location housed assembly teams for reconnaissance unmanned aircraft used to spot Ukrainian artillery, according to intercepted radio chatter cited by analysts.
Deep strikes in Luhansk oblast demonstrate Ukraine’s continued reach despite Russian air-defense belts around logistics hubs.
Occupation administrators issued partial internet blackouts after the attack, a tactic used to slow spread of strike imagery.
Western intelligence assessments say disrupting drone logistics is essential to reducing Russian precision strikes on Ukrainian cities.
Moscow’s defense ministry did not confirm the hit, repeating prior denials when rear-area facilities burn in overnight raids.
