Operators of the 413th Raid Operational-Tactical Group struck drone warehouses and a pre-flight preparation point for drones in Stepne, the temporarily occupied territory of the Donetsk region.
On April 7, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that following a strike on the Sheskharis oil terminal in the Krasnodar Krai of Russia, many infrastructure elements supporting oil transshipment and loading were damaged.
In addition, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine confirmed that Ukrainian defenders struck the oil terminal in the port of Ust-Luga, located on the Baltic Sea coast, again overnight.
Earlier, Unmanned Systems Forces operators, together with the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), struck the Alchevsk Metallurgical Plant, halting production there, and at the end of March, Ukrainian troops in the Donetsk sector thwarted the launch of Gerbera drones and destroyed a Tor air defense system.
Over the past month, Ukrainian defenders have demonstrated record-breaking effectiveness. The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reported that the number of Russian targets struck in March exceeded 151,000.
