Ukrainian forces carried out a series of strikes over the past 24 hours against Russian targets in occupied territories, hitting an ammunition depot, an MLRS system, and command posts, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
In particular, near Selydove in the Donetsk region, Ukrainian troops struck an enemy ammunition depot and a command and observation post.
In temporarily occupied Melitopol in the Zaporizhzhia region, a Tornado-S multiple launch rocket system came under attack. The extent of the damage is being clarified.
Enemy drone control points were also hit in the areas of Malynivka (Donetsk region) and Huliaipole (Zaporizhzhia region).
Additionally, a Russian military repair unit was struck near Mykolaivka in the Zaporizhzhia region.
Information on enemy losses and the scale of the damage is being clarified.
“The Defense Forces of Ukraine will continue to take measures to reduce the combat potential of Russian occupying troops,” the General Staff emphasized.
Other strikes
The day before, on April 26, the Security Service of Ukraine carried out a large-scale special operation in occupied Crimea. Targets included a naval base in Sevastopol and the Belbek airfield.
According to the Ukrainian side, three warships were hit. A MiG-31 fighter jet and several air defense assets were also damaged.
At the same time, analysts from the Institute for the Study of War note that Ukrainian forces have found a weak point in Russia’s air defense system and are actively exploiting it.
According to them, over the past two weeks, Ukraine has carried out at least 10 strikes on Russia’s oil and gas infrastructure. This is linked to the overloading of air defense systems, as well as increased range and intensity of attacks since March 2026.
