Ukraine hits 29 more facilities across Russian-occupied south
Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces struck another 29 energy facilities across Russian-occupied territories in southern Ukraine overnight on Aug. 12-13, SBU unit commander Robert “Madyar” Brovdi said.
Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces targeted 29 additional energy facilities in Russian-occupied southern Ukraine on August 12-13, according to SBU unit commander Robert "Madyar" Brovdi. These strikes were part of the ongoing Crimean Switch-Off operation. The targets included the Balaklava Thermal Power Plant and electrical substations in the Donetsk, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhya oblasts.
In total, Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces have attacked 240 energy nodes between July 1 and August 13. Brovdi explained that targeting the enemy’s stationary radars and air defense elements weakens their airspace protection, creating opportunities for Ukrainian forces. On August 11-12, drones also struck Russian-occupied Crimea, causing explosions near a mobile gas turbine power plant, an electrical substation in Sevastopol, and the Balaklava Thermal Power Plant. Reports later indicated power outages in Sevastopol.
