Ukrainian drones struck several enemy power substations in the temporarily occupied territory of Donetsk region.

Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicle forces hit a number of enemy energy facilities in the temporarily occupied part of Donetsk region.

About this said Commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Robert Brovdi (call sign «Magyar») on his official Facebook page.

According to him, the SBS units regularly strike at enemy targets, combining the destruction of military targets with attacks on the enemy's logistics and energy infrastructure. He emphasised that such actions are part of a systematic effort to deter the enemy and inflict permanent damage.

The report notes that the training was carried out by the «Birds» units of the 1st separate centre of the SBU with the intelligence support of the Security Service of Ukraine.

The video shows the damage to three energy facilities: the 330/110 kilovolt Zorya substation, the 330/110 kilovolt Volnovakha-Tyagova traction substation, and the 330 kilovolt Pivdenna substation.
