Ukrainian Forces Strike Russian Troop Concentrations and Drone Command Post

The General Staff said strikes over the weekend had targeted Russian personnel, a communications hub and a drone control center in Ukraine’s occupied territories.

Ukrainian forces struck several Russian military targets, including troop concentration areas, a communications hub and a drone command post overnight, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said on Monday.

In a statement posted on Telegram, the General Staff said that Ukrainian units had hit a concentration of Russian personnel near Kalynivka, in the Russian-occupied part of Ukraine’s southern Zaporizhzhia region.

According to the statement, on Sunday, Ukrainian forces struck a Russian communications hub near Novopavlivka in the occupied part of Donetsk region.

Another strike targeted a concentration of enemy personnel near Berezove, a Russian-occupied village in Ukraine’s southeastern Dnipropetrovsk region, while a drone control center was hit near Zatyshok, a Russian-occupied village in Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region.

The extent of the damage and Russian losses are still being clarified.

These latest strikes on Russian forces in Ukraine’s occupied territories follow a hit on a Russian BK-16 transport-landing craft in Russian-occupied Crimea on Feb. 12.

The Institute for the Study of War noted in its Feb. 15 Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment that Ukrainian tactical counterattacks have reportedly liberated multiple small settlements in Donetsk region in recent days.
