The strike destroyed up to three Mohajer-6 drones and two Forpost UAVs, which Russia used to monitor the situation in the Black Sea.

Frontline situation

Ukrainian troops continue to repel Russian attacks in all directions of the front. Precision strikes with naval and aerial drones are not only stopping enemy advances but also targeting Russian firing positions and command centers.

In the Black Sea, a Ukrainian intelligence naval drone reached Novorossiysk Bay, where an explosion destroyed a group of elite Russian divers.

Meanwhile, in the Donetsk region, the Bratstvo unit repelled an enemy offensive, eliminating more than 90 Russian soldiers and capturing five others.

Ukrainian forces are also regularly targeting enemy groups attempting reconnaissance or consolidating control over occupied areas.

Recently, RBC-Ukraine published striking footage of aerial battles showing Ukrainian intelligence anti-drone systems shooting down Russian UAVs.
