On May 17, Ukrainian drones carried out a mass strike on FSB facilities. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy later confirmed the operation, saying it was carried out by fighters from the Security Service of Ukraine’s (SBU) Center for Special Operations A.

During the attack, a Russian Pantsir-S1 air-defense system was also damaged. Zelenskyy said the operation resulted in about 100 Russian personnel killed or wounded.

On the day of the strike, NASA’s FIRMS satellite service recorded strong thermal signatures in the area.
