Drones operated by Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) have successfully targeted Russian ammunition depots in the village of Velyke Orikhove near Khartsyzsk, located in the temporarily occupied Donetsk region.
According to the SBU, explosions erupted at the warehouses starting at 10 p.m. on July 2, followed by a powerful secondary detonation and a sustained fire.
Khartsyzsk, situated near the occupied cities of Makiivka and Donetsk, holds strategic significance as a Russian rear base, reportedly housing command posts, logistics hubs, and ammunition depots. The SBU emphasized that all such facilities are legitimate military targets.
“The SBU continues its systematic efforts to degrade the rear infrastructure of the Russian army. Every special operation like this reduces the enemy’s offensive capabilities. The summer ‘bavovna [explosion] season’ is in full swing,” the SBU said.
As reported by Ukrinform, on June 28, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine confirmed the destruction of Russian ammunition depots in the Bryansk region.
