Officers of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and the Unmanned Systems Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have struck Russian occupation logistics in temporarily occupied Luhansk region, according to the press service of the SBU.
Officers of the Main Directorate of the SBU in Donetsk and Luhansk regions, together with servicemembers of the 1st Separate Center of Unmanned Systems of the Armed Forces, hit another enemy railway echelon and fuel storage tanks, as well as field ammunition depots, repair bases, and telecommunications infrastructure used by Russian forces.
SBU operatives identified precise coordinates of the targets, after which their counterparts in the Unmanned Systems Forces carried out high-precision drone strikes using FirePoint-2 drones on occupation facilities in temporarily occupied Luhansk, Kadiivka, Bilokurakyne, as well as in the Siverskodonetsk and Svatove districts of the region.
As a result of the operations, a Russian troop deployment site, a repair base used for servicing enemy drones, an occupation police building, as well as a significant amount of equipment and fuel supplies were destroyed.

Russian losses in manpower amounted to more than 80 killed and wounded. Satellite monitoring systems even detected large-scale fires following the strikes.
Strikes on Russian targets
As a reminder, on May 23, drones of the Security Service of Ukraine struck the Metafrax Chemicals plant in Russia's Perm Krai.
A few days earlier, the SBU also hit a Russian FSB headquarters on temporarily occupied territory in the Kherson region. As a result, about 100 Russians were killed or wounded.
Earlier, Reuters reported that nearly all major oil refineries in central Russia have either shut down or significantly reduced production due to massive Ukrainian drone strikes.
