The Russian Ministry of Defense released new footage showing the destruction of a field warehouse that housed ammunition belonging to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The footage appears to depict the moment when munitions stored in a temporary depot were targeted and neutralized, emphasizing the ongoing efforts to disrupt Ukrainian supply chains in active combat zones.
According to the defense ministry, artillery units from the Southern Group of Forces were responsible for striking the field warehouse carrying ammunition assigned to the 80th separate air assault brigade of the Ukrainian forces in the Artemovsk direction. The description highlights the strategic objective of degrading logistic capabilities and reducing ammunition availability for Ukrainian assaults in that sector.
Earlier, the press service of the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that in the Donetsk direction, aviation and artillery support helped repel three attacks by Ukrainian attack aircraft in the Kleshcheevka and Pervomaisky areas within the Donetsk People’s Republic. The statements underscore a pattern of defense and counterattack operations designed to hold ground and deter Ukrainian offensive maneuvers in contested settlements.
Oleg Chekhov, head of the press center for the Russian Armed Forces group Vostok, stated that Russian troops have achieved an improved tactical position in the South Donetsk direction. The update points to adjustments on the battlefield, with authorities noting better coordination between air and ground forces and a consolidation of front-line positions in response to Ukrainian activity.
On the eve, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported strikes against personnel and equipment of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Ugledar and Vodyanoe settlements. The messages suggest a focus on reducing both the immediate combat effectiveness of Ukrainian units and their ability to maneuver through key frontline points along the southern sector of the front.
Earlier assessments also recognized that Russian forces had strengthened their positions in the Avdeevka area around the city of Donetsk. The updates reflect a broader trend of fortifying control in strategically significant locales while continuing to contest Ukrainian advances across multiple corridors in the region.
