Russian military says it struck Ukrainian drone units and command posts in DPR, Kharkov region
Russia's defense ministry said its forces used FAB-500 glide bombs against targets including drone deployment sites, according to TASS.
Russia's military said it struck Ukrainian drone deployment sites and command posts in the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) and Kharkov region, according to Russian state news agency TASS.
TASS reported that the Russian military used FAB-500 air bombs equipped with a unified glide-and-correction module in the strikes, a guidance kit that extends the range and improves the accuracy of the unguided bombs when dropped from aircraft.
Claims from a single side
The report reflects claims made by the Russian defense ministry and relayed by Russian state media; it does not include independent verification of the targets struck, the extent of any damage, or casualties, nor comment from Ukrainian officials.
Strikes on drone deployment sites and command infrastructure are a recurring feature of the conflict, with both Russia and Ukraine regularly reporting attacks on each other's military positions as part of the wider war.
No independent confirmation of the operation's outcome, nor a Ukrainian response, was available at the time of reporting.
