Ukraine's drone forces hit a string of Russian targets across occupied Crimea and the occupied parts of Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk, and Luhansk oblasts over two nights, according to the Unmanned Systems Forces (SBS). The strikes spanned air-defense systems, a fuel train, supply depots, and command posts, as well as the supply vehicles. Ukraine's General Staff confirmed several attacks.
Two air-defense kills in occupied Crimea
On 28 and 29 May, the SBS shared footage of its latest strikes. In occupied Feodosia, eastern Crimea, operators of the 1st Separate Center destroyed the radio-transparent dome over an ST-68 radar, then hit the radar itself. The station tracked aircraft for Russia's air defense.
The same center struck a Pantsir-S1 air-defense system in the western part of the peninsula. The SBS valued it at about $15 million. The Pantsir-S1 is one of Russia's main short-range shields.
Depots, fuel tankers, and a fire group
Other units cast a wider net. The 414th "Madyar's Birds," the 20th "K-2," the "Phoenix" border guard unit, and the 412th "Nemesis" brigade hit logistics targets in occupied Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Luhansk oblasts. They coordinated through the SBS Deep Strike Center.
The 1st Separate Center hit railway fuel tankers in Makiivka, Donetsk Oblast. The 412th "Nemesis" struck a supply depot near occupied Mariupol.
The 1st center also struck an ammunition depot in Luhansk Oblast, and the "Phoenix" unit hit a Russian mobile fire group there.
Ukraine's General Staff confirmed a parallel wave of strikes overnight on 28 May. It named the Feodosia radar and drone command posts near Kalynove and Novohrodivka in Donetsk Oblast. It also listed supply depots near Mariupol, Novoselivka Druha, and Buhas, plus an ammunition depot near Hrabove in Donetsk Oblast. A 27 May strike near Paraskoviivka killed 18 Russian troops, the General Staff reported.

Other strikes
Last night, the Ukrainian Telegram channel Exilenova+ reported explosions at a fuel station in occupied Alchevsk, Luhansk Oblast.
Also overnight on 28 May, explosions echoed across occupied Crimea. The Crimean Wind Telegram channel reported a drone overflight, gunfire, and four blasts near Feodosia around 01:00. The next morning brought more explosions and air-defense fire in the Saky district and Sevastopol.
A day earlier, the General Staff confirmed a 27 May Storm Shadow strike against Russian aviation systems in Sevastopol, a strike Euromaidan Press already covered on the day of the attack.
