During the night of March 27, Russian forces carried out a series of precision strikes on facilities that underpin the stability of Ukraine’s transportation and energy infrastructure. According to the Ukrainian Air Force, 102 unmanned aerial vehicles were launched over Ukraine, of which 93 were shot down or suppressed by electronic warfare means, according to official data. The main strikes targeted facilities along the line of contact.

One episode was an attack on the railway infrastructure of Chernihiv: the Northern Railway Station and the adjacent depot were hit. A shunting locomotive used for forming trains was damaged, with its diesel generator unit, control systems, and 25 kV overhead contact system damaged or disabled. A second strike hit an electric train, destroying its current collectors and high-voltage cabinets, which reduced the fleet of operational rolling stock and increased wagon turnaround time, disrupting the logistics of cargo and equipment.

In the Kirovohrad region, a strike targeted the railway junction in Znamianka, one of the key distribution centers in the central direction. As a result of the strike on the locomotive depot, repair bays, the overhead contact system, and nine electric locomotives were damaged. This concerns VL80, VL82, and DS3 series locomotives used for freight transportation.

In the Poltava region, in Kotelva, a strike was carried out on a gas treatment unit at the Solokhiv workshop of the Poltavagazvydobuvannya branch. High-pressure separators, pipeline manifolds, and control systems were hit, causing a release of gas condensate mixture and a fire. This halted the technological process of separating gas, condensate, and water, partially disabling the facility, overloading neighboring units, and reducing the stability of the gas transportation system.

In the Dnipropetrovsk region, strikes were recorded in the industrial zone of Kryvyi Rih and near the village of Mayske. In Kryvyi Rih, a railway station of the industrial hub of ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih was hit. The station is involved in transporting ore, metal, and raw materials for one of the key metallurgical enterprises, whose products are used, among other things, for the needs of the military-industrial complex.



Near the village of Mayske, a strike hit a hangar belonging to the company Aviasoyuz. According to sources, inside the hangar were long-range strike drones in the final stages of preparation for launch, their support equipment, and ground control stations. As a result of the strike, the hangar was completely burned out, drones in the preparation stage were destroyed, and communication and control systems were damaged. Additionally, two light aircraft used for training operators were destroyed. In effect, a hub for the preparation and deployment of unmanned aviation was struck.

In the morning, a strike on an energy facility near the village of Cherkaske was recorded. A 110 kV electrical substation, which serves as a distribution hub supplying power to several settlements, was damaged. As a result, power supply was completely cut off in the settlements of Prylisne, Oleksandrivka, Novoselivka, Troitske, and Mayachka, and partially in Cherkaske and Maidan. Such substations in frontline areas supply not only civilian facilities but also logistics, repair bases, communication hubs, and railway infrastructure.

In the Izium direction, Russian forces struck a logistics bridge over the Siverskyi Donets River near Sviatohirsk. The Armed Forces of Ukraine used this overpass to transfer equipment, personnel, and materiel to Yarova.

March 25–26: Energy infrastructure, railway hubs, and port infrastructure

In the Dnipropetrovsk region, in the settlement of Prosiana, a drone strike hit the area where a mobile repeater group was stationed, which ensured the functioning of field communication channels and data transfer between units.

In Izmail, Odesa region, a combined strike hit the Broska 35/6 kV substation, causing two transformers to catch fire, and the seaport (1st and 2nd districts), damaging hangars, equipment, and a Newenergy warehouse, and causing a 100 m² bitumen fire. This disrupted cargo transshipment and logistics.

In Sviatohirsk, Russian FAB-250 aerial bombs destroyed a Nova Poshta warehouse containing ammunition, Starlink terminals, and FPV drones, a garage with pickup trucks, and a 10/0.4 kV substation, cutting power to the area and disrupting supply.

Strikes on Russian Territory

On the night of March 27, Ukrainian forces launched a massive unmanned aerial vehicle attack on facilities across Russian territory. Russian air defense systems intercepted and destroyed 85 Ukrainian fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles over nine regions—the Bryansk, Leningrad, Vologda, Smolensk, Belgorod, Kursk, and Pskov regions, the Republic of Crimea, and the Moscow region—and over the Black Sea.

For the third day in a row, Ukrainian drones are attacking ports on the Baltic Sea — Ust-Luga and Primorsk in the Leningrad region. These ports are key hubs in Russia’s export infrastructure: oil, petroleum products, transshipment, and logistics. In the port of Primorsk, a repeated attack led to a fire, with satellite images showing a glow.



In the industrial zone of Cherepovets in the Vologda region, 10 drones were shot down. According to official data, there is no damage to critical infrastructure and no casualties. Ukrainian sources claim the target was the Apatit chemical plant, the largest producer of phosphorus-containing fertilizers, phosphoric and sulfuric acid in Europe, and one of Russia’s leaders in the production volumes of NPK fertilizers, ammonia, and ammonium nitrate.

This exchange of strikes underscores the focus on rear vulnerabilities: Russia is systematically targeting Ukraine’s logistics and energy, disrupting supply and production, while Ukraine is conducting long-range strikes on Russian export hubs in an effort to create economic pressure. The consequences are accumulating, increasing strain on both sides and potentially affecting frontline stability.
