Ukraine Hits Russian Military Targets in Crimea and Donbas with Drones
Ukraine is using drones to attack Russian military equipment in areas that Russia controls.
These attacks targeted air defense systems, like the ones that try to shoot down missiles and planes, and a factory that makes drones.
They also hit an oil storage place.
These attacks happened after Russia attacked Ukraine with a lot of missiles and drones of its own.
Ukraine says these strikes are meant to weaken Russia's ability to attack.
There's some talk that they might have hit even more advanced air defense systems, but that hasn't been confirmed.
Ukraine conducted drone strikes targeting Russian military assets in occupied Crimea and Donbas.
Attacks hit air defense systems, including Pantsir-S1, and a Su-30 fighter plane.
A facility manufacturing drones and electronic warfare equipment in Donetsk was also targeted.
An oil depot in Luhansk was struck as well.
These strikes come after recent large-scale Russian aerial attacks on Ukraine.
