Ukraine's Defense Forces reported a series of strikes on the enemy's military infrastructure, including sites for storing and launching attack drones, command posts, fuel and lubricant depots, as well as reconnaissance and communications assets. This was announced by the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, according to RBC-Ukraine. According to official statements, the strikes were carried out both in temporarily occupied territories and in Crimea and on the territory of the Russian Federation. ### Strikes on drone infrastructure and command posts In the area of temporarily occupied Donetsk, Ukrainian forces struck a site for storing, preparing and launching attack drones. In addition, Defense Forces units hit an enemy command post in Fedorivka, Donetsk Oblast, and a command-and-observation post in Petrivka, Kharkiv Oblast. In Rovenky, Luhansk Oblast, an occupier fuel and lubricant depot was struck, which, according to the military command's logic, should complicate the logistics and supply of frontline units. ### Reconnaissance and communications: targets in RF territory and Crimea As the General Staff stated, Ukrainian defenders neutralized a number of the enemy's reconnaissance and communications assets on the territory of the Russian Federation and in occupied Crimea. In particular, a radar station was struck in Bobrik, Bryansk Oblast, and a MESH-network repeater of the occupiers in Gustaya, Kursk Oblast. In the Crimean settlements of Suvorovo and Risovo, "Grenadier" technical reconnaissance posts were hit. According to military experts, such targets are critical for building the enemy's unified surveillance and command system. ### Context: previous strikes on September 3 Recall that on September 3, Ukrainian drones struck a Russian "Kasta-2E2" radar station in Zaporizhzhia Oblast. Depending on the configuration, the estimated cost of such a system starts at $60 million. Also, on the night of September 3, the Defense Forces struck a Russian BK-16 landing craft in Sevastopol; the extent of damage to the vessel, as of the time of publication, was being clarified. ### Contradictory data The versions of the two sides on the outcome of the strikes diverge significantly. The Ukrainian command presents the events as the successful destruction of drone warehouses, command posts, radar stations and reconnaissance posts. Meanwhile, Russian state and affiliated media (in particular, materials in the vein of a publication on news.mail.ru) portray the situation in the opposite light, claiming "strikes of retribution" against Ukrainian Armed Forces bases and infrastructure on the territory of Ukraine. Independent verification of specific damage to each object is not possible as of the time of publication, so some details — especially the extent of destruction — remain at the level of one side's claims. Thus, as of September 4, 2026, the series of announced strikes and the list of targets cited by the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces have been confirmed, while the final losses and the scale of damage to individual objects require additional verification. ## 🔍 Fact-Check Verification - [Drone bases, radar stations and command posts: Defense Forces struck a number of key Russian objects](https://www.rbc.ua/ukr/news/bazi-droniv-rls-ta-komandni-punkti-sili-oboroni-1788523044.html) - Первичный источник: заявление Генштаба ВСУ с перечнем целей (дроны, КП, ГСМ, РЛС, разведка). - [It is burning and blazing for the Russians: Ukrainian forces destroyed drone warehouses, command posts and fuel depots](https://tsn.ua/ru/ukrayina/u-rossiyan-gorit-i-pylaet-vsu-razbili-sklady-dronov-komandnye-punkty-i-bazy-goryuchego-3162230.html) - Совпадает с перечнем пораженных объектов (склады дронов, КП, базы горючего). - [Kyiv paid for the attacks: strikes of retribution turned Ukrainian and NATO bases to ashes](https://news.mail.ru/society/72166981/) - Российская подача с противоположным нарративом; не подтверждается украинскими источниками, вынесена в блок противоречий. - [Defense Forces struck a launch site for attack drones in occupied Crimea](https://www.unian.net/war/situaciya-v-krymu-sily-oborony-nanesli-udar-po-mestu-zapuska-udarnyh-bpla-okkupantov-13472523.html) - Подтверждает удары по инфраструктуре дронов/разведки в Крыму. ## ❓ FAQ ### Q: Which objects, according to the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, were struck? **A:** A storage and launch site for attack drones in the area of occupied Donetsk, command posts in Fedorivka and Petrivka, a fuel depot in Rovenky, a radar station in Bobrik, a MESH-network repeater in Gustaya, and "Grenadier" reconnaissance posts in Crimea. ### Q: What happened on September 3? **A:** According to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, a "Kasta-2E2" radar station in Zaporizhzhia Oblast (cost from $60 million) and a BK-16 landing craft in Sevastopol were struck; the extent of damage to the craft was being clarified. ### Q: Have all the claimed damages been confirmed? **A:** The fact of the series of strikes and the list of targets have been confirmed by the statement of the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and Ukrainian sources, however the extent of destruction of individual objects has not been independently verified as of the time of publication.
