Ukrainian drones damage Donetsk airport
The Ukrainian military damaged enemy UAV infrastructure at
the airport in occupied Donetsk,
Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces announced on June 4.
The 1st Separate Unmanned Systems Center posted the claim
and video on its Telegram channel, saying Russian forces had turned the airport
into a military logistics hub and a key launch site for Shahed kamikaze drones.
The center said its drone operators have systematically targeted infrastructure
to make the airfield inoperable.
“Our strike drone operators destroy launcher systems, transport vehicles, and crews directly on the runway,” the unit said.
“At the same time we conduct systematic hunting of mobile firing groups and enemy air defenses, forcing the enemy to cancel flights.”
The 1st Separate Unmanned Systems Center said strikes on
engineering equipment, fuel tankers and logistic nodes have “completely
degraded the airfield ecosystem.” It said destroyed targets include Shahed
launchers, construction cranes, military vehicles, and supply depots.
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.
