Ukraine’s General Staff said Saturday its forces had hit an early-warning radar station in occupied Crimea and a Russian ammunition depot in Kherson region overnight, part of a run of strikes on targets behind the front line.
The radar site was near Olenivka. The depot was near Novosemenivka. Both claims, posted to the General Staff’s channel, have not been independently verified.
Ukrainian units also hit six Russian drone control points, the statement said: near Bilovody in Ukraine’s Sumy region, Lyednyevo in Russia’s Bryansk region, and four locations across occupied Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk regions, Kamianske, Novoivanivka, Myrne, and Komar. A command post near Kazachya Lisitsa in Russia’s Belgorod region rounded out the list. Russian officials did not respond to the claims.
ArmyInform, a Ukrainian military outlet, put a number on the broader effort: 16 separate concentrations of Russian troops struck over the same stretch, though it gave no locations.
Kyiv has leaned on strikes like these, against radar, storage, and drone infrastructure far from the trenches, as it argues it can still degrade Russia’s ability to sustain missile barrages on Ukrainian cities, even as the ground war itself has barely moved in months. “Ukraine is trying to show it can still shape the war’s tempo without shifting the front line,” said one Western defense analyst who tracks the conflict, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The General Staff said the campaign would continue, causing additional strain on Russian economy.
