Ukrainian defense forces have successfully struck key military installations in Russia and occupied Crimea, according to a statement from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). These operations are part of ongoing efforts to diminish the offensive and economic capabilities of Russian forces.
One significant target was the oil terminal at Tamanneftegas, located near the settlement of Volna in Russia’s Krasnodar region. Reports indicate that a fire has been observed at the site following the attack.
Additionally, a Russian Pantsir-S1 air defense system was reportedly hit in the vicinity of Kacha, an area in occupied Crimea. The General Staff noted that these strikes are part of a broader strategy to weaken Russian military infrastructure both within occupied territories and deep inside Russia.
Further strikes were confirmed in other regions, including a repair unit associated with a Russian artillery brigade near Vільне, in the occupied Donetsk region. Another attack was reported in the vicinity of Lyubymivka, located in the occupied Zaporizhzhia region, targeting concentrations of Russian personnel.
As of now, the Russian government has not issued any comments regarding these incidents. Since the onset of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russian territories and occupied regions have frequently experienced drone strikes and artillery fire.
The Ukrainian military emphasizes that these operations aim to disrupt the military capabilities of the Russian aggressor, thereby contributing to the overall defense strategy.
