Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces carried out a large-scale overnight operation against russian military infrastructure in temporarily occupied Crimea on June 22-23, striking more than 60 targets across the peninsula and additional objectives in temporarily occupied parts of the east and south of Ukraine.
The operation was announced by Major Robert Madyar Brovdi, commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces, who described the night as particularly damaging for russian military facilities. According to him, drone crews targeted a broad range of assets, including air defense systems, fuel infrastructure, logistics hubs, and military equipment.
