The Ukrainian Armed Forces’ Unmanned Systems Forces struck the ‘Vostochny’ training ground near Novopetrivka, where the occupiers were preparing units for the Huliaypole sector.
According to Censor.NET, this was reported by the commander of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces, Robert Brovdi (Madiar).
Training was being conducted at this facility for three Russian units fighting against Ukraine in the Huliaypole sector:

"The Buryats, together with Kamchatka marines, took the 'Ptakh' USF final exams… During the night, [Ukrainian defenders] inflicted multiple strikes deep into the operational area at the temporary deployment sites of enemy personnel on the training ground," Madyar noted.
Also, according to him, the targets included:
