"The SBU, together with the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, hit a super-important target - a warehouse with reconnaissance drones that correct enemy strikes on Ukrainian cities and the front line. Now these Russian 'birds' "in the sky there will be significantly fewer," an SBU source commented.
Russian authorities also confirmed a massive drone attack in the Rostov region, saying they had shot down 16 drones. However, official reports did not mention a strike on a warehouse near Rostov.
