Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces have carried out a series of coordinated strikes against russian military infrastructure in temporarily occupied territories, targeting assets critical to the enemy’s logistics, energy supply, aviation, and communications. The operations were conducted using so-called "middle strike" capabilities, underscoring the expanding reach of Ukrainian drone-based warfare.
On February 11, operators from the Kairos unit of the 414th Brigade, known as Birds of Magyar, struck an ammunition depot near the settlement of Rozivka in Zaporizhzhia region. The destruction of such facilities directly affects the enemy's ability to sustain artillery and infantry operations on active fronts.

A day later, on February 12, operators of the 1st Separate Center of the Unmanned Systems Forces carried out additional strikes against multiple high-value targets. These attacks were geographically dispersed, indicating a deliberate effort to pressure russian rear infrastructure across different occupied regions simultaneously.
One of the targets was the Kirova electrical substation in temporarily occupied Luhansk. Power infrastructure plays a key role in sustaining military command posts, communications nodes, and logistics hubs, making such facilities high-priority targets in modern warfare.
Another strike reportedly hit the Hvardiiske military airfield in Crimea. Military airfields remain central to russia's ability to conduct air operations, including logistics flights, drone launches, and support for ground forces. Even limited damage can disrupt sortie rates and maintenance cycles.
In addition, a data center in the town of Prymorsk was struck. Facilities of this type are essential for communications, data processing, and coordination, particularly in an environment where digital connectivity underpins command-and-control systems.
As Defense Express previously reported, Ukrainian forces carried out a series of coordinated strikes overnight on February 13, targeting key russian military assets across temporarily occupied territories. The operation forms part of a broader campaign aimed at systematically degrading Moscow's offensive capabilities along the front line and in rear support areas.
