According to a report by the Третій армійський корпус, the unit carried out precise strikes on logistical routes and ammunition depots within the occupied Luhansk region, reaching as far as the \"Izvaryne\" border crossing — a distance of over 205 km from the front lines.\n\nArmy commander, Brigadier General Andriy Biletsky, declared that \"the cities of Luhansk, Starobilsk, Alchevsk, Brianka, and Kadiivka are now under the control of the army's UAVs\" (according to ТРИБУН | СХІД). The operation is described as a response to Russian statements regarding the full occupation of the Luhansk region, with the Ukrainians demonstrating the ability to reach key points deep within the area.\n\nThe operation was planned and led by Oleksandr Ivancov, known as \"Skhid\" (East), commander of the attack drone department and a Hero of Ukraine, who received a decoration for his past actions in the siege of Mariupol (according to ҐРУНТ). Additional pro-Ukrainian sources, including Всевидящее ОКО and Бавовна △, confirmed the success of the operation and noted that the move deals a fatal blow to the supply capabilities of the Russian army in the area known as \"Eastern Slobozhanshchyna.\"\n\nThe information comes from a variety of military and Ukrainian Telegram channels, which emphasize the technological advantage gained by the forces on the ground. Similar reports were also verified by news agencies such as СУСПІЛЬНЕ НОВИНИ, noting that the footage released from the operation confirms the forces' arrival at distant strategic points."}]
