  "account": "Ukrainian drones struck an S-400 air-defense system guarding Russian President Vladimir Putin's residence near Gelendzhik on the Black Sea coast, according to independent outlet The Moscow Times on August 10. The report cited Robert Brovdi, commander of Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces, who stated that the S-400 fired six missiles before sustaining damage. Satellite images revealed that at least one launcher had been destroyed following the strike. On August 7, Ukrainian forces had disabled a nearby electronic-warfare station called Volna Kupol Garant, which had been jamming Starlink satellite communications within a 20-kilometer radius of the residence. Military analyst Yan Matveev told The Moscow Times that neutralizing the large, easily identifiable station paved the way for the attack on the S-400, as it had been effective against drones. Matveev added, \"Now Putin's palace is left without protection.\"",
