Russian forces have released video footage showing a strike on Ukrainian military positions in the Zaporizhzhia region. The attack used 'Molniya-2' strike drones from the Dnepr grouping's airborne assault units to destroy a temporary deployment point and UAV control center on the Orekhovsky direction. All targets were verified through aerial reconnaissance before engagement, with personnel reportedly eliminated in a basement of a partially ruined building. The 58th Combined Arms Army's drone units continue employing strike and reconnaissance UAVs for fire support and frontline monitoring.
