The direct execution of the strike was carried out by operators using middle-range strike drones operated by the Nemesis Brigade. These drones targeted several buildings that russian forces were reportedly using as command centers and temporary deployment locations.
Among the confirmed targets was a temporary deployment site used by russian unmanned aerial vehicle unit. Preliminary information suggests that the facility was operating in support of the 76th Guards Air Assault Division of the Armed Forces of russia, which has reportedly been involved in offensive operations toward Pokrovsk since December 2025.
Another facility struck during the operation was the command post of the Zevs Detachment of the 8th Separate Battalion of Unmanned Systems belonging to russia's 2nd Combined Arms Army. The building reportedly housed russian personnel responsible for coordinating drone operations in the area.
Ukrainian operators also targeted a location serving as both a temporary deployment site and command post for the 1st Motor Rifle Battalion of the 30th Separate Motor Rifle Brigade. According to the report, the battalion's command staff and soldiers were stationed in a local hotel complex at the time of the strike.
The scale of russian personnel losses is still being assessed. However, Ukrainian Air Assault Forces noted that the destruction of these facilities is expected to significantly disrupt the coordination of russian drone units and command structures operating around the Pokrovsk urban area.
