Russian forces destroy Ukrainian drone control sites in Zaporozhye

Reconnaissance elements of Russia's Vostok grouping located and destroyed several Ukrainian drone control points in the Zaporozhye region, including ground stations, antenna complexes, and launch sites hidden in forested areas. Heavy‑strike "Molniya" drones carried out precise attacks that killed the operators and demolished the communication nodes. The strikes are reported to have significantly degraded Ukrainian command and control of UAV operations in the sector during the ongoing special military operation. The operation underscores Russia's focus on neutralizing Ukrainian aerial capabilities in contested regions.
