Ukraine's Retaliatory Strike: Air Force Targets Bryansk Border Post

In a decisive response to relentless drone attacks, Ukraine's air force launched a strategic strike on a border post in Russia's Bryansk region. The targeted site was identified as a key location for launching Russian attack drones, which have been terrorizing Ukrainian civilian infrastructure daily. 

The operation resulted in the destruction of military equipment, communication systems, and other critical infrastructure at the border post. Ukrainian officials emphasized that this strike was a necessary measure to counteract the ongoing aggression and reduce the enemy's ability to conduct drone operations against Ukraine.
