Ukraine Reports Strikes on Russian Radar, Drone Command Posts and Ammunition Depots Across Four Regions
Ukraine’s General Staff says its forces struck a 39N6 Kasta radar in occupied Manhush, UAV command posts in Kyrnosove and Novoaidar, several ammunition depots, and a logistics site in Komysh-Zoria on 28–29 September.
Ukraine is trying to weaken Russian surveillance, drone control and supply networks with a series of reported strikes behind the front lines in Donetsk, Luhansk, Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia regions.
On 28 September and overnight into 29 September, Ukrainian forces hit a 39N6 Kasta radar in occupied Manhush in Donetsk Oblast, according to the General Staff. The Kasta line of radars is used for low-altitude air surveillance, so damaging or disabling one can limit local detection of aircraft and some drones.
The same report said Ukrainian forces struck Russian unmanned aerial vehicle command posts in Kyrnosove and Novoaidar in Luhansk Oblast. These sites help coordinate reconnaissance and strike drones used to locate Ukrainian positions, direct artillery fire and attack vehicles and infrastructure.
Ukraine also reported hits on ammunition depots in Druzhne in Luhansk Oblast, Novoyehorivka in Kharkiv Oblast and Kachkarske in Donetsk Oblast. In addition, a Russian logistics and materiel depot was reported struck in Komysh-Zoria in the Zaporizhzhia region.
Kyiv has not released comprehensive visual evidence for all of these attacks, and Russian authorities have not confirmed the full list of damaged or destroyed sites. Even so, the locations match Ukraine’s ongoing effort to hit Russian assets that support frontline operations.
For Russian units, successful attacks on radars, drone command nodes and depots can mean reduced situational awareness and more strained supply at specific sectors. For Ukrainian commanders, every such strike is aimed at making it harder for Russia to sustain its current tempo of fire and movement.
Developments to watch include any Russian moves to relocate radar and drone-control assets deeper into occupied territory, visible changes in Russian ammunition storage patterns, and indicators from the front that artillery and drone activity in the targeted areas has been disrupted.
