What Happened
During the night of May 30, Ukrainian armed forces conducted drone strikes targeting Russian military assets. These strikes successfully impacted two military ranges and a gas storage facility located within temporarily occupied territories in Ukraine, according to Commander Robert "Madyar" Brovdii.
