Ukraine’s 412th Separate Unmanned Systems Brigade Nemesis said it struck a Russian drone-launch facility at occupied Donetsk Airport to reduce drone threats over Ukrainian cities.
The brigade said it used “Middle Strike” capabilities and posted video on Telegram. It described the target as infrastructure used to launch drones and said the operation was intended to limit their presence over Ukrainian cities.
Suspilne reported that its review of the video showed FP-1 and FP-2 drones hitting four storage bunkers and a launch point near the airport’s control tower. It said the targeted objects caught fire. The video has not been independently verified, and the brigade’s written statement gave no damage assessment.
The strike date is unverified. The Kyiv Independent reported that it occurred Nov. 10. Ukrainska Pravda said the brigade’s post did not give a date and its own reporting placed the operation in autumn 2026.
The Kyiv Independent also reported that Russia and its proxies have occupied Donetsk Airport since 2014. The strike follows earlier Ukrainian claims of attacks on Russian drone sites and radar stations in Bryansk Oblast, covered in EconoTimes’ earlier report.
