On August 16, in temporarily occupied Melitopol, Zaporizhzhia region, an operation by the Ukrainian Defense Ministry’s Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR) destroyed an ammunition depot and a group of Russian occupiers that had been redeployed to the Zaporizhzhia front.
The Ukrainian intelligence agency said this in a statement, according to Ukrinform.
“The explosion occurred as an enemy truck carrying personnel entered the occupiers’ deployment site in the industrial zone near Proizd Korvatskoho Street in Melitopol,” the HUR said.
As a result, at least six Russian occupiers from the naval infantry, as well as the UAV crew of the so-called Kadyrovite Akhmat-Vostok battalion, were eliminated. The exact number of Russian irrecoverable and sanitary losses is being clarified.
