Summary
Ukraine's 1st Separate Center of the Unmanned Systems Forces said it struck eight Russian air defense and radar systems across Krasnodar in a single operation more than 270 kilometers from the front.
The targets included one Tor-M2 system and seven radar stations near Yeysk, Primorsko-Akhtarsk and other settlements, equipment Ukraine said shields military airfields and Shahed drone launch sites.
Video released by the unit reportedly showed the strikes, though the military gave no independent assessment of how badly each system was damaged.
Krasnodar hosts facilities tied to Russia's war effort, and Primorsko-Akhtarsk has repeatedly been identified by Ukrainian officials as a launch point for long-range attack drones.
The raid fits a wider Ukrainian campaign of long-range strikes on Russian military, energy and logistics infrastructure, including reported attacks on the Saratov oil refinery and a Wildberries logistics hub in Samara.
