Ukraine’s Naval Forces recently destroyed storage and preparation sites for Shahed-136/Geranium-2 drones in Russia’s Krasnodar Krai, as confirmed by satellite images. The military also targeted training buildings and command and communication points for drone crews, with the collaboration of Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU). The strikes reportedly took out instructors training personnel on launching Shaheds and cadets preparing to use the drones for attacks on Ukrainian territory. While details are still being verified, the attack likely occurred alongside other Ukrainian strikes on oil refineries, radar stations, and reconnaissance centers in Russia.
Located in southern Russia, Krasnodar Krai borders strategic regions and the Kerch Strait, an essential waterway. In a separate incident, Ukraine’s partisans have claimed to infiltrate a Russian air base in Voronezh, leaving surprises for pilots. Both events signal Ukraine’s ongoing efforts to defend its territory and disrupt Russian operations.
