Russian forces from the 49th Combined Arms Army, part of the Dnepr grouping, have conducted a successful drone strike in Ukraine's Kherson region. Their FPV drone unit targeted and destroyed a Ukrainian temporary deployment point and an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) control center on the right bank of the Dnieper River. The operation involved aerial reconnaissance to identify the targets, followed by a swift strike that hit the deployment point in a basement and the control center in a partially demolished building. Objective control footage confirmed the destruction of both targets, with the drone teams reportedly overcoming Ukrainian electronic warfare systems to complete the mission.
