As the war in Ukraine continues to escalate, Russian forces are on the brink of seizing the Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk, which many are calling a symbolic victory for Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Ukraine's Special Operations Forces have released footage showing a strike on a Russian base for storing, assembling and launching Shahed loitering munitions located at what used to be Donetsk airport.

On the night of November 5, the Ukrainian Defense Forces struck important Russian targets. Among them were the launch site for Shahed drones in Donetsk, oil refineries in Volgograd, Russia, and oil facilities in Crimea,

Unmanned Systems Forces leader Madyar described the strike as the result of a "painstaking months-long reconnaissance operation" in a post on Telegram.

The Kremlin is focusing its fire on Pokrovsk, a gateway to the Donetsk region, which Russia’s president, Vladimir V. Putin, has long coveted.
