How do drone attacks work?

Drone attacks involve unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) carrying explosives or used for reconnaissance. They can be remotely piloted or pre-programmed. In this case, Ukrainian drones hit Russian logistics facilities, causing fires and damage. This method allows for strikes on targets deep within enemy territory, often with less risk to the attacking forces.
