Kyiv said on Saturday that it had targeted two ammunition storage facilities in Russia in overnight strikes.
New satellite imagery appears to show the aftermath of a long-range Ukrainian strike on an ammunition depot inside Russia on Saturday, as Kyiv continues its persistent cross-border attacks on Moscow’s key military sites.
An image shared by the investigative arm of the U.S.-backed Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty outlet on Saturday seemed to show a blaze at a munitions storage facility in southern Russia, which Ukraine said it had targeted overnight.
Kyiv has doggedly targeted Russia’s military assets, including ammunition sites and air bases, across the border as it tries to damage Moscow’s ability to wage war against its neighbor, more than two and a half years into full-scale war.
Newsweek could not independently verify the veracity of the image, and has contacted to the Russian Defense Ministry for comment via email.
Ukraine’s General Staff said in a statement on Saturday that it had hit a munitions depot near Tikhoretsk, a town in Russia’s southwestern Krasnodar region.
Kyiv’s General Staff said its SBU security service had separately attacked a Russian Defense Ministry ammunition depot close to Oktyabrskiy, a village in the Tver region.
