Separately, Ukrainian forces, including the 1st Separate Center of Unmanned Systems, struck the "Grushova" oil terminal in Novorossiysk, Russia, on the same night, causing a fire. This terminal is part of the "Sheskharis" complex. Earlier, on June 7-8, Ukrainian forces destroyed a temporary Russian deployment point in Shchastia, Luhansk, identified as the 5th Cossack reconnaissance and assault brigade "Terek." Additionally, a new Ukrainian technology enabling drones to autonomously intercept Shaheds has undergone combat testing in Kharkiv Oblast.
