Ukraine's Special Forces struck nearly 2,000 Russian targets in 24 hours
Over the past 24 hours, units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ Unmanned Systems Group struck or destroyed 1,997 Russian military targets.
Among the enemy targets destroyed or hit were:
- 386 personnel, of whom 164 occupiers were eliminated;
- 58 drone launch sites;
- 14 radar stations, electronic intelligence and countermeasure systems, as well as communications equipment;
- 117 vehicles;
- 12 artillery systems;
- 285 enemy UAVs of the “copter,” “wing,” “Shahed,” and “Gerbera” types;
- 3 naval vessels.
Thus, over the past 24 hours, Ukrainian unmanned systems units have struck targets of various categories—ranging from personnel and artillery to drone launch sites and communications equipment.
At the same time, since the beginning of September, Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces have already struck 3,873 targets belonging to Russian forces.
In the first two days of the month, 734 of these targets were enemy personnel.
Thus, on September 1–2, the UAS struck more than 3,800 targets, continuing to actively use unmanned systems to strike Russian army personnel, equipment, and military infrastructure.
This was reported on the morning of September 3 by the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ Unmanned Systems Forces.
On August 31 and during the night of September 1, the Ukrainian Defense Forces carried out strikes against a number of military facilities belonging to the Russian occupiers.
On the night of August 26, 2026, units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces struck facilities at the Lukoil-Nizhegorodnefteorgsintez LLC oil refinery in the city of Kstovo, Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, Russia.
Ukrainian strikes since July have put seven of Wildberries’ ten largest logistics centers in Russia out of commission, according to the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense. In particular, following the attack on August 16, the company’s large facilities in Domodedovo and the “Koledino” industrial park ceased operations; the latter covered an area of approximately 250,000 square meters.
On the night of August 26, drones again attacked the Wildberries logistics center in Kotovsk, Tambov Oblast, Russia, after which a massive fire broke out at the facility. According to Russian authorities, the fire covered at least 40,000 square meters, and one employee was injured.
Ukrainian drones simultaneously attacked a Lukoil oil refinery and a Wildberries warehouse in the Russian Federation.
As a reminder, the Orsk oil refinery in the Orenburg region of Russia completely halted operations following an attack by Ukrainian drones.
