Overview

• On July 11, Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces and SBU units struck the Voronin Aviation Plant in Lukhovitsy and the Shipunov Institute in Tula, causing explosions and disrupting production lines.
• Russia sustained its deep-reaching drone and missile campaign overnight, targeting western regions including Lviv, Lutsk and Chernivtsi—damaging homes, a kindergarten and sparking fires—and striking Kharkiv with glide bombs that injured two people.
• The Ukrainian General Staff said the attacks are intended to weaken Russia’s capacity for aerial bombardments of Ukrainian cities.
• Germany will finance a high three-digit number of long-range rockets for Ukraine, with first deliveries scheduled for the end of July to bolster Kyiv’s ability to strike strategic targets within Russia.
• The strikes highlight Kyiv’s growing operational autonomy as its unmanned forces conduct precise deep raids independent of direct foreign intervention.
