For the first time ever, Russian FPV drones have begun striking targets in the town of Vasylkivka, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, which is situated around 45 km from the frontline.
Vasylkivka is a crucial Ukrainian logistical hub which supplies a large section of the frontline stretching from Orikhiv to Novopavlivka. Additionally, almost all Ukrainian logistics for their ongoing counteroffensive have to go through Vasylkivka.
Presumably, Russia is using Molniya-1 drones, as they have been hitting fairly regularly. Over a dozen were used last night, which suggests that Russia is really trying to clamp down on Ukrainian logistics in this sector.
This development comes as Russia resumes their FPV drone strikes on vehicles driving along the Pokrovsk - Pavlohrad Highway.
