Kiev [Ukraine], November 9: The Ukrainian military has attacked four drone control centres in Russia and in Russian-occupied areas in eastern Ukraine, the General Staff said on Sunday. A command centre in Berdyansk, in the south of Ukraine's Zaporizhzhya region, was described as "the most valuable target."
The site is used by Rubicon, a Russian elite unit, to carry out drone attacks against the civilian population near the front line, according to the statement published on Facebook. A control centre near Oleshky - a Russian-occupied frontline city that recently made headlines when Ukraine and Russia agreed on a major humanitarian evacuation to enable residents to leave - as well as a facility in the Donetsk region have also been hit, the military said.
On Russian territory, Ukrainian forces struck a drone control centre in the Bryansk region, according to the statement, which did not provide further information on the exact extent of the damage. The military's claims could not be independently verified, and Russia has so far not commented. Both Russia and Ukraine deploy First Person View drones, which can be controlled from a distance using cameras. Their range is limited, and the radio signals can be tracked.
