Details: The Russian facility, which is located around 107 km from the line of contact, was hit in a combined attack, including with drones.
Quote: "The enemy has lost trained experts who were involved in training operators and passing on their experience to others."
The video shows more than 10 strikes on various buildings at the Rubicon base. The military said the attack was carried out by UAV battery units from the Harpy Group within the Defence Forces of the South, the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine, Special Group Alpha of the Security Service of Ukraine, and the 412th Separate Unmanned Systems Regiment.
The caption under the video reads: "This operation once again proves that there is no longer any safe rear area for the Russian occupiers. Ukraine's defence forces can detect and strike enemy assets far from the front line, acting in a coordinated manner and in line with a single plan."
Background:
- Ukraine's General Staff reported earlier that the strike on the Rubicon base in Berdiansk had been carried out on 7 November. It said the attack had hit the unit's temporary deployment site and ground control station. The General Staff described Rubicon as one of Russia's most combat-capable drone centres.
- On the night of 8-9 November, Ukrainian forces struck the Morozov Plant in Russia's Leningrad Oblast, which produces solid-fuel charges for Iskander-M ballistic missile engines.
