Ukrainian forces struck a Russian repair base, multiple drone control points, and command posts overnight on 1 February, targeting both occupied territories and Russian soil, the General Staff of Ukraine’s Armed Forces reported.
The strikes are part of Ukraine's ongoing campaign to degrade Russia's offensive capabilities as intense fighting continues near the strategic cities of Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad in Donetsk Oblast, where Russia has been attempting to encircle Ukrainian defenders from all four directions.
Repair base and drone control points hit
In temporarily occupied Zaporizhzhia Oblast, Ukrainian forces struck a repair base belonging to a Russian engineer-sapper regiment near Rozivka, the General Staff said.
Near Myrnohrad in Donetsk Oblast - where Ukrainian troops have been repelling dozens of Russian assaults daily - Ukrainian units hit an enemy UAV control point, a company command-observation post, and a concentration of Russian personnel.
Strikes inside Russia
Ukrainian forces also struck targets inside Russia. In Kursk Oblast, near the settlement of Nekislitsa, Ukrainian units hit another Russian drone control point. In Bryansk Oblast, near Troyebortnoye, Ukrainian forces struck a concentration of enemy personnel.
The General Staff said Russian losses and the full extent of damage are still being assessed.
"Ukraine's Defense Forces will continue to systematically carry out measures aimed at weakening the offensive capabilities and reducing the combat potential of the Russian aggressor," the General Staff said.
