On the night of August 19, long-range drones of the SBU attacked two Russian ammunition depots in the temporarily occupied territory of the Luhansk region. At least seven hits were recorded, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) reports.

According to the SBU, the explosions occurred at two Russian ammunition depots in the settlement of Bilokurakyne.

This settlement is located on an important railway line through which Russia supplies ammunition to the front line, including the Pokrovsk direction.

Preliminary reports indicate that the drones hit the depot areas at least seven times.

After the explosions, a powerful fire broke out, which was also recorded by the international FIRMS service, tracking fires in real time worldwide.

“The destruction of enemy ammunition directly helps our warriors, who bravely hold off Russian assaults. Demilitarization of the occupiers’ military depots and equipment will continue,” the SBU stated.

The special service also released footage of the damaged Russian depots in the Luhansk region.

The SBU also carried out a long-range drone strike on a depot containing Shahed drones in Russia's Tatarstan. A fire broke out immediately after the explosion. The distance from Ukraine to the target is approximately 1,300 km.

The depot contained ready-to-use Shahed drones and imported components for their production.

In addition, long-range drones from the SBU Special Operations Center A struck the production facilities of the Plandin Instrument-Making Plant in Arzamas, Nizhny Novgorod Region, Russia.
