Ukraine’s Defense Forces reported carrying out a series of strikes on enemy targets, including storage sites for attack drones and ammunition depots, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Strikes near Donetsk

As part of efforts to reduce the offensive capabilities of Russia, units of Ukraine’s Defense Forces carried out strikes on a number of key targets on the eve of and during the night of April 14.

In particular, the strikes targeted storage sites for attack drones near Donetsk airport in the temporarily occupied part of the Donetsk region. The operation was conducted by units of the Ukrainian Air Force using SCALP cruise missiles and GBU-39 guided aerial bombs.

Ammunition depots hit

In addition, Ukrainian strike drones attacked enemy ammunition depots.

The strikes hit areas near the settlements of Azovske in the Zaporizhzhia region, as well as Urzuf and Kulykivske in the Donetsk region.

These actions are aimed at weakening the enemy’s capabilities along the front line.

The consequences of the attacks are being clarified

Information on enemy losses and the scale of damage is currently being clarified.

The Defense Forces stressed that efforts to reduce the offensive potential of Russian troops will continue, along with measures to counter armed aggression against Ukraine.

On Tuesday, April 14, Russian forces struck the Pechenihy reservoir with guided aerial bombs. A video of the attack later appeared online, while the Russian side began spreading misleading information about its consequences.

Ukraine’s Defense Forces struck enemy radar systems in the temporarily occupied territory of Crimea and in Russia’s Belgorod region, and also hit a Tor-M1 surface-to-air missile system in the Luhansk region.
