Intelligence and target identification
During reconnaissance operations, the SBU established that the enemy had concentrated freight trains carrying fuel at railway stations near Luhansk. These supplies were intended to support Russian troops and equipment.
Use of drones
After confirming the targets and passing coordinates to the Unmanned Systems Forces, high-precision strikes were carried out. FP-2 drones produced by Fire Point were used in the attack.
Aftermath of the strike
The strikes destroyed fuel tank cars and damaged railway infrastructure used by Russia to supply resources to the front.
Continuation of operations
The SBU, together with other units of Ukraine’s Defense Forces, continues systematic efforts to deprive the enemy of the resources needed to wage war.
During Russia’s massive overnight attack on April 16, the Dnipro Art Museum was damaged — windows were blown out, and the facade was partially destroyed.
It is also noted that in Kyiv, an auto center belonging to Ukravto Group, which housed Mercedes, Ducati, and Kia vehicles, was hit during the attack. Two employees of the company were killed in the strike.
