Ukraine's General Staff said its forces struck a number of Russian military targets during the night of May 1-2.
The reported targets included the position of a tactical group of Iskander operational-tactical missile systems in Druzhne, in occupied Crimea.
The General Staff said radar assets in occupied Crimea were also hit, including a MYS-M1 coastal radar station in Maiak and a Podlyot radar station in Yevpatoriia.
According to the same reports, three Russian UAV command posts in Heorhiivka and a UAV depot in Novopetrykivka, both in occupied Donetsk region, were struck.
Ukraine also reported strikes on an enemy repair unit near Kadiivka in occupied Luhansk region and an ammunition depot near Ivanivka in occupied Kherson region.
The General Staff presented the operation as part of efforts to reduce Russia's offensive capabilities, indicating the targets included missile, radar, drone-control, repair and ammunition infrastructure rather than a single site.
The immediate outcome remained unresolved in the available reports, which said the scale of the damage was still being clarified.

Both agree: A reported overnight operation hit multiple categories of Russian military infrastructure across occupied Crimea and other occupied regions, fitting Ukraine's stated aim of degrading Russia's offensive capacity even though the extent of the damage was still unclear.
They split on: Less a disagreement than a question of emphasis: the breadth of the target set as evidence of a wider strategy to erode Russia's attack infrastructure, versus the need to reserve judgment on the operation's practical effect until damage is confirmed.
