Ukrainian forces struck a key Russian military logistics base in Bryansk overnight, with drones targeting ammunition warehouses and triggering at least eight explosions, Ukraine’s General Staff reported Friday.
The strike showcases Ukraine’s growing fleet of domestically produced long-range drones, developed as an alternative to Western weapons that are restricted from hitting targets within Russia. These Ukrainian-made drones can reach targets up to 1,000 kilometers away.
