Ukrainian drone operators conducted a coordinated overnight strike campaign against russian military assets, targeting air defense systems, command posts, fuel depots, and infrastructure across temporarily occupied territories

Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces conducted a series of precision drone strikes against russian military and infrastructure targets during the night of June 10, according to Major Robert Madyar Brovdi, commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces.

The operation targeted a broad range of assets across temporarily occupied territories, highlighting Ukraine's continued effort to disrupt russian command, logistics, and air defense networks far behind the front lines. Among the most notable targets were advanced russian air defense systems, including the Tor surface-to-air missile system near Vershyna Druha and the Buk-M3 air defense system in Donetsk region.

The destruction or damage of these systems is particularly significant because russian air defenses remain a critical component of Moscow's ability to protect troop concentrations, logistics hubs, and military infrastructure from Ukrainian strikes. Neutralizing such assets can create opportunities for follow-on drone and missile operations.

Ukrainian drone operators also struck a tugboat in the temporarily occupied port city of Berdiansk. At the same time, fuel storage facilities in Mariupol were targeted, potentially affecting russian military logistics and fuel supplies in the south of Ukraine.

Additional strikes reportedly hit a command post belonging to russia's 88th Brigade in Luhansk region and a storage site used for military equipment in Novoazovsk. Such targets are intended to reduce russia's ability to sustain operations and move reinforcements to active combat zones.

The operation further targeted locations used by personnel of russian Nevsky Brigade in Miusynsk.

Energy infrastructure supporting russian military activities was also among the targets. Drone strikes reportedly hit the Melitopol 330 kV power substation, as well as electrical substations in Zolote and Debaltseve. While the extent of the damage remains unclear, disruptions to power infrastructure can complicate military logistics, communications, and industrial activity in occupied areas.
