Ukraine destroys depot that occupiers filled with generators, after Russian state TV filmed them
Russian propagandists inadvertently filmed the target themselves.
Russian state television captured the location of a Ukrainian logistics hub that Russian forces had equipped with generators and other military equipment. The target was part of a former hardware store in the city of Melitopol, which sits on a crucial land corridor to the occupied Crimea region. The Ukrainian 422nd Separate Unmanned Systems Regiment was ordered to destroy the hub after footage of the delivery was broadcast on Russian state television, providing confirmation of the shipment.
The regiment commander, Major Mykola Kolesnyk, stated that the hub was primarily used to support Russian troops fighting directly against Ukrainian forces. Operators tracked the target before striking, ensuring that no civilians were harmed in the operation. The destruction of the hub will reduce Russia's ability to equip shelters and support the ongoing drone war.
The generators at the hub were essential for charging batteries for unmanned aerial vehicles, making it a legitimate target. Ukrainian forces plan to continue targeting logistics hubs that feed Russia's war machine.
