Ukraine strikes Russian attack drone hub and control systems in occupied Crimea

A fire broke out at the site after the attack.

Elsewhere in Crimea, Ukrainian forces targeted a ground station in Novofedorivka, in the Yevpatoria district, used to control Orion drones.

“Ukrainian forces also struck a ground relay used to control Geran and Gerbera attack drones in Olenivka, in Russian-occupied Crimea, along with a communications and power point supporting the drone relay on the Tendra Spit in Kherson Oblast,” the General Staff said.

The full extent of the damage is still being assessed. Operations against key Russian military targets are continuing, the General Staff added.

Earlier on Aug. 17, the Ukrainian military detailed the results of a separate strike conducted overnight into Aug. 16 against the Kombinat Kamensky industrial complex in Kamensk-Shakhtinsky, in Russia’s Rostov Oblast.

The military confirmed that the attack destroyed two workshops producing explosives and gunpowder and damaged four others.
