Ukrainian forces destroy Russian depot in Donetsk region: Details

According to the General Staff, as part of reducing the offensive capabilities of the enemy, on the night of July 3, units of the Security Service of Ukraine, in coordination with other components of the Defense Forces, struck Russian ammunition depots in the area of Velykyi Orikhiv in the temporarily occupied territories of Donetsk region.

"The target was successfully hit. A powerful secondary detonation was recorded, the nature of which indicates explosions of anti-aircraft guided missiles and munitions for MLRS," the General Staff explained.

At the same time, the reports indicate that more precise results of the fire damage are currently being clarified.

"The Defense Forces continue to take measures to undermine the offensive potential of the Russian occupiers and force the Russian Federation to stop its armed aggression against Ukraine," the General Staff concluded.

Strikes on Russia

On July 1, long-range drones from the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) struck the Izhevsk Electromechanical Plant Kupol. The enterprise produces surface-to-air missile systems and drones for the Russian army.

Already that night, SBU strike drones destroyed Russian ammunition depots near the temporarily occupied Khartsyzk in the Donetsk region.

Today in the afternoon, an explosion also occurred in temporarily occupied Luhansk.

Furthermore, reports earlier confirmed information about explosions in the city of Yelets in Russia's Lipetsk region. As it turned out, drones again attacked the Energia plant. The facility manufactures batteries used for missile guidance and control, as well as for the Iskander missile systems.
