The targets hit included the 90th Separate Engineer Regiment of Russia's 51st Army, a unit involved in constructing the so-called Surovikin Line in southern Ukraine and training combat engineers for other Russian forces, Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces reports.

Strike on 51st Army engineer regiment

Operators from the 9th Kairos Battalion of the 414th Magyar's Birds Brigade, the 1st Separate Center, the 412th Nemesis Brigade, and the 413th Raid Regiment struck a temporary deployment site of the 90th Separate Engineer Regiment of Russia's 51st Army near the settlement of Pionerske.

According to the Unmanned Systems Forces, this Russian unit:

  • Took part in mining operations and the construction of the so-called Surovikin Line on the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia fronts
  • Carried out engineering and sapper missions on the Bakhmut and Avdiivka fronts
  • Trained military engineering and explosive ordnance specialists.

Logistics, transport, gas storage facility

Operators of the K-2 20th Brigade struck a parking area used by Russian cargo trucks in the Donetsk region. The same unit also targeted a gas storage facility that was being used to support Russian military operations.

Operators from Detachment 13 of the 414th Magyar's Birds Brigade struck Russian logistics facilities in the same region.

"Strikes on temporary deployment sites, logistics facilities, transport assets, and resource infrastructure reduce the enemy's ability to maneuver, supply its units, and sustain the intensity of combat operations," the Unmanned Systems Forces noted.

Notably, a week ago, this unit struck several key Russian air defense assets, including a Nebo-SV radar station and a command-and-control vehicle belonging to a Buk-M2 air defense system in the Luhansk region.

The same day, drones from the 9th Kairos Battalion of the 414th Magyar's Birds Brigade struck enemy logistics warehouses and a temporary deployment site.
