Ukraine intercepts 124 Russian drones, strikes Novorossiysk oil terminal

Ukrainian air defenses reportedly intercepted 124 of 155 Russian strike drones launched from multiple directions on the night of June 8. Twenty drones struck 17 locations across Ukraine's northern, southern, and eastern regions, with types including Shahed, Gerbera, Italmas, and Banderol. On the same night, Ukrainian forces, including operators from the 1st Separate Center of Unmanned Systems and Special Operations Forces, struck the "Grushova" oil terminal in Novorossiysk, Russia, causing a fire. The facility is part of the "Sheskharis" complex, and the extent of damage is being clarified. Earlier, on June 7, Ukrainian forces destroyed a temporary Russian deployment point in Shchastia, Luhansk, approximately 100 km from the front line, identifying the target as the 5th Cossack reconnaissance and assault brigade "Terek." Separately, a new Ukrainian technology for drones to autonomously intercept Shaheds underwent combat testing in Kharkiv Oblast, automating 95% of the interception process.
