The Ukrainian military explained that a ground-based relay station transmits control and communication signals between an operator and a drone, extending the drone's operational range and improving connection stability.

In addition, five Russian UAV ground control stations were struck near the following settlements:

  • Chasiv Yar, Donetsk Oblast
  • Zaliznyi Port, Kherson Oblast
  • Volfinsky, Kursk Oblast, Russia
  • Gordeevka, Kursk Oblast, Russia
  • Luhove, Zaporizhzhia Oblast.
