The Russian army says it struck Ukrainian targets, reporting the destruction of two storage facilities used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The claim comes from the Telegram channel of the Russian Ministry of Defense, which provides continuous updates on military activity and resulting damage.
The ministry states that the operation involved air assets, including aviation, unmanned aerial vehicles, missile forces, and artillery. The described strikes were part of a coordinated campaign aimed at disabling Ukrainian military logistics and storage capabilities, according to the official briefing.
Officials from the Ministry of Defense announced that the warehouses belonging to the 7th Marine Brigade and the 65th Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian forces were targeted and destroyed. The locations cited were in the Daryevka district of the Kherson region and the Volyansk area of the Zaporozhye region. In addition to these facilities, the ministry said that Ukrainian manpower and military equipment across 128 districts were affected by the broader strikes being carried out in the area.
It was further noted that air defense systems intercepted three HIMARS projectiles and 26 unmanned aerial vehicles, according to the ministry. This detail is presented as evidence of active air defense engagement during the operations, with the implication that some threats were neutralized on the ground or in the air before reaching their targets.
On the day prior, Russian forces claim to have neutralized a checkpoint dedicated to unmanned aerial vehicles in the Kherson direction. Concurrently, the reports indicate the destruction of three Gvozdika self-propelled artillery systems, marking another element of the ongoing counter-battery activities described by the Russian side.
Further statements describe a counter-battery engagement in the Kherson direction that affected two Ukrainian D-20 towed howitzers and two Gvozdika self-propelled artillery mounts. The report also mentions the downing of two Msta-B howitzers as part of the broader artillery and air defense operations in this sector.
Earlier updates are cited as showing the presence of Russian Msta-S self-propelled guns in the Kupyansk direction, with claims of additional damage being inflicted on Ukrainian armored formations. The cumulative narrative emphasizes intensified strikes against Ukrainian command, control, and combat support assets as part of a persistent military campaign in the contested border areas.
