Ukrainian drone forces have struck the Perekop Bromine Plant in Krasnoperekopsk and a high-voltage substation in the occupied Crimea, Robert Magyar Brovdi, commander of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces (SBS), reported on Nov. 23.
The military published the footage of the operation.
The strike targeted the Brom chemical enterprise, which operates in support of Russia’s defense-industrial complex. The plant is one of Crimea’s largest industrial facilities and the only producer of bromine-based compounds in Eastern Europe.
Overnight on Nov. 23, Ukrainian unmanned systems also attacked the Krasnoperekopsk 220-kV transmission substation. According to Brovdi, this energy node is one of the key hubs within the temporarily occupied peninsula’s power grid.
The commander noted that the attacks were carried out by the 1st Separate SBS Center, transformed from the former 14th Regiment. He described the operation as a “polite visit” and said multiple energy facilities were hit.
On Nov. 13, Ukrainian forces also struck a Russian Orion drone base in Crimea.
On Sept. 13, 2025, the same unit shot down one of the Orion strike drones mid-air. Brovdi said the destruction of the storage site followed operations against Russian attack-drone infrastructure.
In early November, he said that Russia should prepare for potential large-scale power outages.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
