"Ukraine's Security Service, together with the Defense Forces, continues to target enemy military sites and enterprises supporting the Russian military-industrial complex. Each hit on an ammunition depot, oil refinery, oil base, or chemical plant is a painful blow to Russia's ability to wage war in Ukraine," the source stated.
Strikes on Russian territory
Ukraine's Security Service, Ukraine Defense Intelligence, and the Defense Forces regularly strike military and strategic targets in Russia. The primary targets of such operations are ammunition depots, military bases, and critical energy infrastructure supporting the aggressor state's war efforts.
These actions aim to reduce the Russian army's combat capabilities, create psychological pressure on the enemy, and complicate logistics.
Recently, the Defense Forces attacked an oil depot in Russian Engels, which provided fuel for the "Engels-2" military airfield.
