According to the Ukrainian military, a site used to store, prepare and launch attack drones was struck near the temporarily occupied city of Donetsk.

A Russian logistics warehouse was also hit in Novosilske in temporarily occupied Crimea.

Ukrainian forces also struck two Russian command posts – in Zaporizke, Donetsk Oblast, and Kobylne, Zaporizhzhia Oblast.

Among other targets, six ground-based repeaters used to control Geran/Gerbera-type attack drones were struck in temporarily occupied Crimea: two in Sterehushche, three near Olenivka and one in Chornomorske.

For reference: A ground-based repeater transmits control and communication signals between an operator and a drone, extending the range and improving the stability of its operation.
