The main results of the operation:
- Crimea: in occupied Orlivka, the base area of the S-400 anti-aircraft missile system was destroyed.
- Mariupol: a large fuel and lubricants warehouse was destroyed.
- Donetsk region: 2 more fuel depots were destroyed in Novoamvrosiivke, and a logistics warehouse was destroyed in Amvrosiivka.
- Zachativka (Donetsk region): A Russian repair and restoration unit facility was hit.
Why it matters
The Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine command emphasizes that the destruction of fuel and lubricant depots and supply bases significantly undermines Russian offensive capabilities.

"Special Operations Forces continue to deliver asymmetric strikes to strategically deplete Russia's ability to wage war against Ukraine," the Ukrainian military says.
Other strikes on Russian military facilities
Recently, Ukrainian units destroyed Russian air defense systems in Crimea. The defense forces have already reported what exactly was hit.
At the end of February, Special Operations Forces conducted an operation behind Russian lines and set up an ambush, resulting in losses for the Russian troops. In addition, they destroyed a Buk missile system, a Uragan multiple launch rocket system, and a Russian army command center.
Ukrainian fighters also struck Russian important military targets in Crimea and the Luhansk region. Rare radar stations and other targets were hit.
