Russia And Ukraine Continue The Drone War: Fires At Oil Depots, Drone Production Facilities, And Logistics Hubs
On the night of May 31, Russia and Ukraine continued their daily exchange of strikes using unmanned aerial vehicles. According to Ukrainian monitoring services, 229 UAVs launched from Russian territory were recorded over Ukraine. Of these, Kyiv claims that 212 were allegedly shot down or suppressed by electronic warfare means. The Russian Ministry of Defense, for its part, reported the destruction of 216 Ukrainian drones over 11 constituent entities of the Russian Federation and the waters of the Sea of Azov.
The primary targets of Russian strikes were energy, transportation, and fuel infrastructure facilities, as well as deployment sites of military personnel and foreign mercenaries. Ukrainian forces continued attacks on oil refineries, pumping stations, and fuel depots in Russia's border and rear regions.
Strikes on Ukraine
Russian troops struck targets in six regions of Ukraine. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, production workshops for long-range drones, their launch sites, and fuel storage depots were hit. In addition, strikes targeted transportation and energy infrastructure facilities used in the interests of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as temporary deployment points for Ukrainian military units and foreign mercenaries.
The main blow fell on the front-line zone. In Dnipro, "Geran-2" kamikaze drones attacked a warehouse complex, causing a large fire, as well as a logistics hub of the company "Nova Poshta," which, according to Russian sources, operates in the interests of the Ukrainian army.
In the Rivne region, for the second consecutive day following strikes by "Geran" drones, columns of smoke from fires were observed. In the city of Rivne itself, an oil depot is on fire.
