Ukraine strikes Russian UAV control centers, radars, and ammunition depot across multiple regions
What happened
Ukrainian forces conducted coordinated strikes on September 9-10, 2026, targeting multiple Russian military installations across occupied and Russian territory. According to the General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces, attacks hit UAV control centers in Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Luhansk regions; a Shahed drone relay transmitter in Trubchevsk, Bryansk; three Nebo-SV radar stations in Bryansk; and an ammunition depot near Dovzhansk, Luhansk. Ukraine reported damage assessment was ongoing at the time of announcement.
Context and assessment
These strikes follow Ukraine's established pattern of targeting Russian air defense infrastructure and drone command nodes to degrade long-range strike capabilities. Nebo-SV radars are central to Russia's air defense network, and their disruption would hamper Russia's ability to coordinate aerial operations. The targeting of multiple UAV control centers suggests Ukraine aims to disrupt the synchronized Shaheed and Geran drone attacks that have targeted Ukrainian cities and infrastructure. Control centers in occupied territories indicate Ukraine is able to conduct deep strikes within held areas. The ammunition depot near Dovzhansk may indicate efforts to constrain Russian artillery resupply in eastern Donetsk.
