## Key Points

- Four military targets struck over two days on October 21–22, 2026
- Strikes targeted an electronic warfare station and drone control centers
- Operations reduce the enemy's capability to launch drone attacks

Ukraine's military successfully struck four key enemy military targets in Russia and temporarily occupied territories within two days. This was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, specifying that the strikes were carried out on October 21 and during the night of October 22, 2026.

### Strikes on Targets in Russia and Occupied Territories

During recent operations, units of the Ukraine Defense Forces delivered accurate strikes against strategically important facilities of the Russian army. In particular, an electronic warfare station and unmanned aerial vehicle control centers, actively used by the enemy for operational coordination, were targeted.

According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, these successful strikes significantly reduce the enemy's ability to attack Ukrainian positions and frontline communities with drones. The systematic destruction of such objects helps lower the intensity of air attacks.

### General Combat Dynamics and Enemy Losses

Against the backdrop of operations targeting military infrastructure, high combat intensity is maintained along the frontline. According to previously released data, on October 21 alone, Russian forces suffered significant personnel casualties in killed and wounded, highlighting the fierce nature of ongoing combat.

Furthermore, the military command continues methodically dismantling the enemy's supply chains and logistics. Earlier, on October 18 and 19, Ukrainian units successfully attacked a radar station in the Bryansk region and field military depots in the Donetsk region.

### Significance of Destroying EW Systems and Control Centers

The elimination of electronic warfare stations, radar systems, and UAV control centers plays a crucial role in shifting the balance of power across certain frontline sectors. Depriving the adversary of modern navigation and reconnaissance support disorganizes command structures and reduces the effectiveness of drone operations. The continued systematic destruction of such high-tech targets further weakens the Russian army's strike potential in key areas.
