Satellite images show craters at Russian drone site after attack
An Aug. 1 strike on a Russian storage, preparation and launch site for attack drones near Navlya in Russia's Bryansk Oblast was likely successful, according to the Ukrainian OSINT channel Dnipro Osint (Harbuz), citing satellite imagery.
On August 1, a Ukrainian strike on a Russian drone storage, preparation and launch site near Navlya in Bryansk Oblast, Russia, appears to have been successful, according to Ukrainian OSINT channel Dnipro Osint, citing satellite imagery. The images show craters and signs of detonation and fire at the site, suggesting that the Ukrainian forces targeted all three underground storage facilities holding warheads and fuel for Russian Geran-2 and Gerbera drones.
Dnipro Osint concluded that the strike may have destroyed at least one of the facilities. On August 2, Ukraine announced additional strikes on Russian military targets, including the drone storage site near Navlya. On August 3, further strikes were reported on significant Russian military installations. The drone storage site near Navlya, which was built from scratch in the summer of 2024, had previously been struck in April, but drone launches from the site continued multiple times a week.
Russia has been expanding its Shahed drone launch sites near the Belarusian border since the spring, with the complex near Navlya being one of the newly built facilities.
