[90993] Extensive Ukrainian drone attacks: Strike on strategic gas facility in Crimea and Russian logistics

Extensive drone attack against energy and logistics infrastructure in Russia and Crimea

On the night between June 18 and 19, 2026, Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces (СБС) units, with an emphasis on the 413th company known as "Raid" (Рейד), launched a series of targeted attacks against military and logistical targets of the Russian army. Reports published in a variety of Ukrainian Telegram channels such as МАДЯР🇺🇦 and ЦАПЛІЄНКО_UKRAINE FIGHTS, highlight a critical strike on the Glebovka underground gas storage facility (Глібівське ПСГ) on the Crimean Peninsula.

Strike on strategic energy infrastructure

According to the Supernova+ channel, this is the only gas facility on the peninsula, which plays a critical role in supplying fuel to central thermal power plants, including Balaklavskaya and Tavricheskaya. According to the report by "Raid", the facility sustained "critical damage" and a fire, a fact seemingly verified via NASA's satellite monitoring data (NASA FIRMS). Ukrainian sources, including СУСПІЛЬНЕ НОВИНИ, noted that the strike disrupts Russia's ability to provide electricity to strategic military facilities on the peninsula.

Disruption of military logistics

In addition to the gas attack, Ukrainian special forces carried out raids against other targets. According to МАДЯР🇺🇦, various assets were destroyed or damaged, including:

• Locomotives and fuel transport equipment in the Zhudilovo area (Bryansk Oblast, Russia) – as reported by Оперативний ЗСУ.


• P-18 "Terek" and "Repeynik" radar systems.


• MT-LB armored vehicles and command and control stations (KSP) in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions.

Background and context

Most reporting Ukrainian channels (such as Мілітарний and Український Наступ) present the attacks as a surgical operation aimed at damaging the Russian army's maneuverability and maintenance capabilities. The Polonsky news channel emphasized the effectiveness of drone footage accompanying the strikes against military locomotives, as part of the strategy known as "Бити, а не нити" (Strike, don't whine). The reporting sources are characterized by a distinct pro-Ukrainian line, highlighting the impact on the "occupier" and focusing on the technological achievements of the Ukrainian defense industry (such as the use of drones manufactured by Fire Point).
