Ukraine strikes drone port at occupied Donetsk Airport
"There should be fewer enemy drones over Ukrainian cities. That's why we are not only intercepting drones that have already been launched, but also destroying the infrastructure from which they are launched," the 412th Brigade of the Unmanned Systems Forces wrote.
On November 10, Ukrainian forces carried out a successful strike on a Russian drone port at the occupied Donetsk Airport, according to the 412th Brigade of Unmanned Systems Forces. The brigade stated that fewer enemy drones would mean fewer threats to Ukrainian cities. The Ukrainian forces not only intercepted drones already launched but also targeted the infrastructure from which they were launched. The Donetsk Airport, under Russian occupation since 2014, was the target of this middle strike operation.
Earlier on November 9, Ukrainian forces also struck Russia's Morozov plant near St. Petersburg. This plant produces fuel for Iskander ballistic missiles, which are used to target Ukrainian cities. The Ukrainian General Staff reported that three production workshops were damaged during the attack. Each successful strike makes it increasingly difficult for the enemy to produce missiles for the Iskander systems, ultimately reducing the threat to Ukrainian cities.
On November 8, Ukrainian drone strikes damaged a bridge and energy facilities in Russia's Rostov Oblast. This resulted in traffic closures and blackouts in the region, according to regional Governor Yuri Slyusar. These strikes are part of Ukraine's ongoing efforts to diminish Russia's military capabilities and protect its own cities from missile attacks.
