Ukraine Drones Hit 2 Pantsir Systems and Command Post in Crimea, Donetsk

Overnight on June 2, Ukrainian drones struck two Russian Pantsir air-defense systems, a 3rd Army Corps command post and a tugboat across occupied Crimea and Donetsk Oblast.
Robert "Magyar" Brovdi said the attacks were coordinated by a newly created Center for Deep Destruction, with the command post hit in Shyrokyne and the Pantsirs and tugboat hit in Crimea.
Ukraine has used medium-range drones to target assets 20 to 200 kilometers behind the front, aiming at depots, fuel sites and command nodes to force Russia to move them farther back.
Volodymyr Zelensky said in early May that such middle-range strikes had increased significantly, underscoring a campaign Kyiv says is increasingly straining Russian logistics and rear-area security.
