President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed on Tuesday evening, June 30, that Ukrainian forces carried out a strike on the largest space communications center in Dubna, Moscow region, for the second time in a month. The facility, according to Zelensky, was used for reconnaissance and coordination of Russian military actions. The confirmation follows earlier unverified reports Tuesday morning of a drone attack on the site. As The Zioneer reported on Tuesday morning, Ukrainian drones struck the Dubna Space Communications Center overnight and Tuesday morning, according to Russian-affiliated channels, with Russian authorities acknowledging damage to an administrative building. The Zioneer had also reported a prior drone strike on the same facility on June 23, which caused significant damage and large-scale smoke but no reported casualties or communications disruption. Zelensky's on-record acknowledgment marks the first official confirmation of the operation and its specific military purpose.
