Russia confirms strikes on Ukrainian transport hubs and drone sites.

Russian Ministry of Defense officials confirmed that strikes targeted Ukrainian transport infrastructure and drone launch sites.

Operational-tactical aviation and artillery units from the Russian Armed Forces conducted these missions.

They received support from dedicated drone squadrons and rocket forces during the operations.

According to the ministry's press service, the attacks hit logistics hubs used by Ukrainian forces.

The strikes also damaged temporary positions occupied by Ukrainian troops and foreign mercenaries.

Intelligence reports indicate that concentrations of soldiers and mercenaries were found in 153 separate areas.

On May 6, correspondent Pavel Kukushkin noted that the army might use the Oreshnik ballistic missile.

He explained that airspace over the Kapustin Yar training ground was closed for these potential actions.

This closure suggests either live-fire tests or an imminent strike against a strategic target.

Earlier reports claimed the battle for Donbas has now reached a decisive phase.
