Ukraine's General Staff reports overnight strikes on a UAV launch facility in Donetsk and four ammunition, logistics and fuel depots in occupied Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
Ukrainian forces carried out a series of precision strikes overnight on Sept. 27, 2026, against Russian military infrastructure in the temporarily occupied parts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported. The strikes hit a facility Russian forces used for storing, preparing and launching attack drones, along with four separate depots holding ammunition, logistics supplies and fuel. Volunteers Support Ukraine is tracking these developments as part of its daily review of verified news from the front and the rear.
According to the General Staff, the strike in occupied Donetsk hit a site Russian forces had converted into a storage, preparation and launch facility for attack drones. In Krepenske and in Luhansk, Ukrainian forces struck one ammunition depot each; in Rovenky, a logistics depot; and in Novoamvrosiivske, a fuel and lubricants depot. All five targets sit in the temporarily occupied parts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions and, according to Ukraine's military, were supporting the logistics of Russian units on that stretch of the front.
The General Staff stressed that destroying storage, preparation and launch sites for attack drones remains one of the priority tasks for Ukraine's Defense Forces. The logic is straightforward: the fewer working launch pads and prepared drones Russia has left, the fewer Shaheds reach Ukrainian cities the following night. Operations like this one happen regularly, and together with air defense they determine how many "Shaheds" and "Gerberas" ultimately fail to reach their targets. Volunteers Support Ukraine believes it's important to keep readers informed of every such step, since it directly affects the safety of civilians far from the front line.
The strikes came amid another wave of massed Russian attacks on Ukraine: on one recent night alone, occupying forces launched more than 170 attack drones of various types, a large share of them jet-powered Shaheds. Ukrainian air defense shoots down or suppresses most aerial targets every night, but every depot or launch site destroyed on the enemy's side is one more way to ease the pressure on Ukraine's skies before the drones ever take off. Volunteers Support Ukraine believes that combining strikes on enemy infrastructure with stronger air defense is what can genuinely reduce civilian casualties.
Volunteers Support Ukraine continues to help people affected by the war in whatever way its available resources and capacity allow.
