On the night of November 6, units of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine struck Russian logistics facilities, in particular the Hvardiiske oil depot, in the temporarily occupied Crimea, according to the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
"Special Operations Forces drones struck the Hvardiiska oil depot near the village of Hvardiiske, temporarily occupied Crimea. An RVS-400 tank was destroyed. It was full at the time of the strike," the Special Operations Forces say in a statement.
At the same time, two trains with tank cars on a loading rack were hit in the same area. At the time of the strike, the rolling stock was loaded with petroleum products.
Special Operations Forces drones also hit several oil depots and fuel storage facilities in Simferopol and the surrounding area, in the village of Bitumne. Tank farm facilities were destroyed. Numerous fires were reported.
"Special Operations Forces continue to act asymmetrically in countering the enemy's military capabilities," the Special Operations Forces say.
Strikes on military facilities in Crimea
In early November, the Ukrainian Defense Forces struck important Russian facilities. Among them were oil facilities in Crimea.
Three fuel and lubricant storage facilities in the temporarily occupied Crimea were attacked. In particular, at the oil depot in the village of Hvardiiske, a strike on a tank and cisterns on a loading rack was confirmed.
Ukraine's General Staff emphasized that the Defense Forces are consistently implementing a set of measures to destroy critical elements of Russia's military-industrial infrastructure, both on its territory and in the temporarily occupied territories.
The key goal is to deprive Russia of its offensive capabilities and the ability to continue its aggression.
