Ukrainian FP-1 drones have struck russian UAV storage facility, workshop, and electronic warfare equipment in Donetsk region, reportedly destroying the building and its contents more than 100 kilometers behind russian lines

Operators of Ukraine’s 237th Battalion have struck russian unmanned aerial vehicle storage facility, workshop, and electronic warfare equipment in Donetsk region. The operation targeted a site located deep behind russian lines on Monday, October 12.

The target was located inside a five-story residential building in Donetsk region. Ukrainian forces identified the facility as a location used to store and prepare equipment for russian military units operating in the area.

According to the 7th Rapid Response Corps, reconnaissance operators established that equipment intended for russian combat units was regularly dispatched from the location. This made the site a logistical hub supporting the enemy’s operations.

Ukrainian forces used FP-1 drones to strike the target, which was located more than 100 kilometers behind russian lines. The operation demonstrated the ability of Ukrainian unmanned systems to reach military infrastructure well beyond the immediate front line.

The strike reportedly destroyed the building along with the equipment stored inside. The Ukrainian military released footage showing the attack and its impact on the target.
