Ukrainian forces struck a Russian drone port at the occupied Donetsk airport, the 412th Brigade of the Unmanned Systems Forces wrote on Nov. 10.
"There should be fewer enemy drones over Ukrainian cities. That's why we are not only intercepting drones that have already been launched, but also destroying the infrastructure from which they are launched," the brigade wrote.
Forces targeted the airport in a middle strike operation that has been occupied by Russia and its proxies since 2014.
Ukraine regularly strikes military targets deep within Russia and occupied territories in an effort to diminish Moscow's ability to continue waging its war.
Overnight on Nov. 9, Ukrainian forces struck Russia's Morozov plant near St. Petersburg, which produces fuel for Iskander ballistic missiles, damaging three production workshops "at once," Ukraine's General Staff reported.
"Each such strike makes it more difficult for the enemy to produce missiles for the 'Iskander' systems, which it uses to strike our cities," the General Staff said.
On Nov. 8, Ukrainian drone strikes damaged a bridge and energy facilities in Russia's Rostov Oblast, causing traffic closures and blackouts, regional Governor Yuri Slyusar reported.
