Several Russian logistics trucks were destroyed near an occupied checkpoint in Donetsk, and the wreckage blocked the Rostov-Mariupol highway near the Russian-Ukrainian border.
The strike reached more than 150 km behind the front lines, showing Ukraine is extending medium-range drone attacks into routes Russia had treated as relatively safe for troop and equipment movement.
Middle Strike-type drones were used to hit the vehicles, according to the report, and footage of the aftermath appeared on the Russian Two Majors Telegram channel.
In March alone, Ukrainian UAV units carried out nearly 350 strikes at operational depths of 30 to 120 kilometers, underscoring a broader campaign to cut Russian logistics beyond the immediate front.
Ukraine's drones now strike 1,000km into Russia. Is this a strategic game-changer or a dangerous new phase of escalation?
As its supply lines face constant drone attack, can Russia's military adapt faster than Ukraine's battlefield technology evolves?
With cheap drones devastating Russian logistics, is this the dawn of a new era of 'affordable' warfare for smaller nations?
