Ukraine continues to strike targets that help Russia wage war. This time, a helicopter, a bridge, warehouses, and command posts were hit, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The Ukrainian military struck an enemy helicopter in the waters of the Sea of Azov. The extent of the damage is currently being assessed.

The Defense Forces also struck a railway bridge across the Siverskyi Donets River near Stanytsia Luhanska. Russia had been using this route to transport personnel, weapons, ammunition, and logistical supplies.

The Defense Forces also struck two command posts of Russian forces near Shakhtarsk in the Donetsk region. A drone depot in Tytarivka, a repair unit in Starobilsk, and a fuel depot in Luhansk were also targeted.

“The Ukrainian Defense Forces will continue to systematically carry out measures aimed at stopping the armed aggression of the Russian Federation,” the General Staff concluded.

On the night of July 4, the Ukrainian Defense Forces attacked an oil terminal in St. Petersburg. A massive fire broke out at the facility after the drones struck.

The port in Kronstadt, an important Russian military target located more than 850 kilometers from the Ukrainian border, was also hit.
