Ukraine's Defense Forces carried out a series of strikes on Russian military facilities in Crimea, as well as in the Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia regions. The targets included a railway bridge, command posts, and other facilities, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
On September 6 and the night of September 7, Ukrainian forces struck an important logistics hub used by Russian forces near Vladyslavivka in temporarily occupied Crimea. A railway bridge across the North Crimean Canal, which the enemy uses for military logistics, was hit there.
In addition, in Perekop on the occupied peninsula, the Defense Forces struck a Grenadier automated technical reconnaissance post.
Strikes on command posts and ammunition depots
Ukrainian forces also struck Russian unit command posts in Nyzhnii Naholchyk and Dovzhanske in the Luhansk region, as well as in Azovske in the Zaporizhzhia region. In addition, an ammunition depot used by Russian forces near the settlement of Teple in the Luhansk region was hit.
The General Staff said that the final extent of the damage inflicted on the enemy is currently being assessed.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy earlier said that Ukrainian drones struck three Russian oil refineries, a storage and launch site for attack drones, as well as a target in the Black Sea.
In addition, on the night of September 6, Ukraine's Defense Forces struck the Russian Rostov-on-Don airfield. According to the Ukrainian military, a fire broke out at the enemy airfield after the strike.
