What is happening?
In a series of precision attacks, Ukraine’s army has obliterated key Russian ammunition depots, delivering a major blow to Moscow’s military capabilities.
The strikes, carried out in August and September, targeted warehouses packed with explosive stockpiles in eastern Ukraine.
Massive blasts rock Luhansk and Donetsk
The destroyed depots were located in the occupied regions of Luhansk and Donetsk.
According to Ukraine’s General Staff, the explosions caused by the attacks completely wiped out the facilities, leaving no usable munitions behind.
The information is yet to be verified by independent sources.
Russian tank regiment ammunition goes up in flames
Intelligence services identified one major target near Bohdanivka, Luhansk—a warehouse storing newly arrived munitions for Russia’s 17th Tank Regiment of the 70th Motorised Rifle Division.
The stockpile included thousands of tank rounds, mines, grenades, and high-precision ZUBK-14 shells.
Joint army and SBU operation
The mission to destroy the Bohdanivka depot was a coordinated effort between Ukraine’s regular forces and the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU).
The successful operation severely crippled the regiment’s resupply capabilities in the region.
19,000 Russian drones destroyed in Donetsk strike
Another major success came when soldiers from Ukraine’s Dnipr Special Operations Command struck a warehouse in Donetsk.
Inside, they discovered—and destroyed—more than 19,000 Russian strike drones.
A lethal arsenal of drones neutralized
The Donetsk depot held a wide array of drone models, including Molniya, Boomerang, Novgorod Vandal, and Gorynych.
Alongside the drones were critical components like batteries, communications modules, and video transmitters, all now lost to Russian forces.
Russian officers killed in hit on command post
Earlier in September, Ukrainian forces carried out targeted strikes on several Russian command posts in Donetsk.
These belonged to the Centre Group of Forces and the 41st Combined Arms Army.
Ukrainian reports confirm the death of several high-ranking officers.
The frontline under pressure
The battles are intensifying around Pokrovsk, a critical logistics hub for Ukraine’s eastern front.
Fierce fighting has continued for over a year, but the tide may be turning as Russian forces close in.
Why Pokrovsk matters
Often referred to by Russians as the “gateway to Donetsk,” Pokrovsk’s fall would severely hinder Ukraine’s ability to resupply its troops.
Its capture could pave the way for further Russian advances toward key cities like Kramatorsk and Sloviansk.
Heroic resistance faces mounting challenges
Despite mounting pressure, Ukrainian forces continue to fiercely defend Pokrovsk.
However, the worsening situation is raising alarms, as Kyiv’s defenders face increasingly difficult odds in holding the strategic city.
