The SBU press service reported the attack, noting: “This town is situated on a key railway line used to deliver ammunition from Russia to the front line, including in the Pokrovsk direction.”

According to preliminary data, the drones hit the depots at least seven times, sparking a fire that was also confirmed by FIRMS, the international service that tracks fires worldwide in real time.

The SBU stressed that the strike is meant to degrade the Russian offensive capabilities.

“The SBU continues systematic strikes deep in enemy rear areas to weaken the offensive potential of Russia’s army at the front. The destruction of enemy ammunition directly supports our soldiers, who are bravely holding back Russian assaults. The demilitarization of Russian depots and equipment will continue,” the agency emphasized.
