Strikes on military targets in Crimea
In addition to maritime targets, the Unmanned Systems Forces also reported striking 53 military targets in Crimea and in the temporarily occupied territories of southern Ukraine. A key aspect of the operations was the destruction of six electrical substations as part of Operation «Crimean Circuit Breaker Off». According to the Unmanned Systems Forces, between 1 and 8 July, the total number of energy facilities destroyed reached 50.
«These strikes are part of our strategy to disrupt the enemy’s supply chains,» Brovdi emphasised.

The SBS operations are being coordinated by the newly established Deep Strike Centre, which highlights the growing effectiveness of Ukrainian unmanned systems.
