The special unit “Ghosts” of Ukraine’s Defence Intelligence (Main Directorate of Intelligence of Ukraine), previously known for striking Russian air defense systems in occupied Crimea, is now reportedly expanding its operations to targeting logistics routes across temporarily occupied territories. The Military Footage Hub release shows continued activity aimed at disrupting supply chains, transport infrastructure, and operational mobility of Russian forces. The footage documents drone-based reconnaissance and strike operations carried out in contested zones, reflecting a broader shift from air defense suppression to logistics interdiction on occupied territory.
According to released battlefield reports and footage, Ukrainian strike units carried out a series of coordinated attacks in a single day against Russian military targets in occupied Crimea, Donetsk, and Zaporizhzhia regions. The reported targets included air defense systems such as Pantsir-S1, Osa-AK, and Buk-M1, as well as two reported Iskander missile support sites, fuel storage facilities, and an ammunition depot linked to the 758th Logistics Center of the Black Sea Fleet.
Additional strikes reportedly hit a workshop and UAV storage site associated with the Rubikon unit in Donetsk region. Notably, some of the published strike footage reportedly began specifying the weight of the warhead used, with several clips indicating a 60 kg payload.
Operators of the 1st Separate Center of the Unmanned Systems Forces carried out mid-range strikes against enemy targets on temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine. In Donetsk Oblast, a command post and a deployment site of special forces from Russia’s 14th GRU Brigade, as well as warehouses and a military vehicle repair base, were hit. Additionally, a Nebo radar station and a deployment area of high-speed landing craft of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet were struck in temporarily occupied Crimea.
