On the evening of October 16 local time, the Ukrainian forces planned to launch the Lut fixed-wing drones from Martov, Kharkiv Oblast, to attack targets deep in the Russian territory. However, the Russian intelligence department discovered the location of the Ukrainian drone launching site and launched two Iskander-M ballistic missiles against the Ukrainian drone launching site first. The first missile hit a truck and some personnel, causing a fire; the second missile hit the preparation area for launching, including the drone launching device. The attacks by both missiles and the resulting fire destroyed or damaged four Ukrainian trucks, about 50 Lut fixed-wing drones, five drone launching devices, and killed 25 Ukrainian drone operators and service personnel.
