Ukraine's Defense Forces destroyed an enemy artillery ammunition depot in Huliaipole, Zaporizhzhia region, with an FPV drone strike, according to the 7th Corps of the Ukrainian Air Assault Forces.
"A truck carrying ammunition moving through the city was spotted by neighboring units. They tracked the vehicle as it moved to a shelter — one of the hangars in Huliaipole," the military said.
Less than three and a half hours after the target was detected, Ukraine's Defense Forces launched a strike. The operation was carried out by pilots of the 225th Separate Assault Regiment in cooperation with the 7th Air Assault Corps.
The ammunition truck was hit directly inside the hangar with a single precise FPV drone strike. Immediately afterward, a massive detonation of about 60 152 mm artillery shells occurred inside the shelter.
Pilots from the 414th Separate Brigade of the Unmanned Systems Forces, "Magyar's Birds," recorded the hit and provided objective confirmation of the destruction of the enemy target.
"The task was successfully accomplished thanks to precise coordination between several units of the Defense Forces — from target detection and transmission to its destruction and post-strike reconnaissance," the statement said.
In addition, troops operating in the area of responsibility of the 7th Rapid Response Corps of the Air Assault Forces destroyed several pieces of armored equipment that Russian forces rarely use on the front line.
