## Key points

- Ukraine says it hit a Russian satellite-jamming system near Sartana.
- Strikes also targeted ammunition depots and a military supplies warehouse.
- The attacks come amid concern over jamming and reliance on satellite links.

## Summary

Ukraine’s military says it struck a Russian electronic warfare system near Sartana, in occupied Donetsk Oblast, overnight on 8–9 November. The system is designed to disrupt satellite communications, making the strike significant as Ukrainian forces rely on satellite links to coordinate military operations and control drones.

Ukraine’s General Staff also reported strikes on ammunition depots near Tokmak and Ostrykivka in occupied Zaporizhzhia Oblast, and a warehouse near Krasnohorivka in occupied Donetsk. The report follows disruptions to Ukrainian operations after unexpected Starlink restrictions in October and warnings that Russia is increasingly using systems to jam Starlink along the front line. Ukraine uses Starshield terminals, among other purposes, to control interceptor drones targeting Russian Geran drones.
