Ukrainian forces strike Russian Buk-M3, drone base, and EW station

Ukrainian forces struck a Russian Buk-M3 air defense system, a drone launch base, and an electronic warfare station, according to the Ukrainian General Staff. The Buk-M3 was destroyed near Kuroshany in the Zaporizhye region. A base near occupied Donetsk, used for storing, preparing, and launching attack drones, was also hit. The strikes aim to reduce Russia's ability to use drones against civilians. Additional strikes targeted telecom hubs near Donetsk, Hirmik, and Yasynuvata, repair units in the Luhansk region, and an electronic warfare station near Klimovo in Russia's Bryansk region. On the night of October 3, Ukrainian forces also hit Iskander missile positions in the Bryansk region. Earlier, on September 25, drones struck the Voronezhsyntezkauchuk plant, which produces materials for Iskander solid rocket fuel. President Zelensky noted an August 22 strike on an Iskander launcher near the border.
