An ammunition depot in the occupied town of Dovzhansk, Luhansk region, was targeted in a recent attack, reportedly striking a storage facility for Russian air defense missiles. The incident, which occurred in an area under Russian control since 2016, was captured on video, showing a large fire accompanied by bright flashes and sparks.
Footage from the scene reveals rockets detonating in the air, creating a series of loud explosions that lit up the night sky. Witnesses, some filming from a distance in their apartments, expressed their shock and fear as they recorded the unfolding events.
This attack is part of ongoing military operations by Ukrainian forces against occupied territories in Luhansk, where Russian troops have been stockpiling weaponry. On March 9, Ukrainian military units successfully destroyed a Russian Buk-M3 missile system located near the occupied village of Lymanchuk.
Previous strikes have also targeted command and observation posts of Russian forces in the Donetsk region. On March 3, Ukrainian partisans conducted sabotage operations on railways in occupied Luhansk, which were crucial for transporting arms and supplies from Russia to the front lines.
In addition to targeting military assets, Ukrainian forces have aimed at disrupting revenue sources for Russia, which funds its military operations. On the same day, strikes were reported on an oil depot in Luhansk and a substation in Alchevsk, further impacting Russian logistics.
A recent attack on an ammunition depot in Dovzhansk, Luhansk, highlights ongoing military efforts by Ukrainian forces against Russian-held territories. The incident reflects a broader strategy to disrupt Russian supply lines and military capabilities in the region.
