Ukrainian Drone Attack Strikes Russian Ammunition Depot
Ukrainian forces launched a drone attack on a Russian ammunition depot in Kotluban, Volgograd region. The attack occurred shortly after Iran delivered missiles to the site.
Russia previously received Iranian missiles earlier this month, raising concerns among Western allies. Ukrainian officials believe these missiles were targeted in the attack.
The Ukrainian military reported the attack’s success despite Russian anti-aircraft defenses. The strike caused a fire and ammunition explosions.
The attack is part of Ukraine’s ongoing efforts to target Russian ammunition depots deep within enemy territory. These strikes have disrupted Moscow’s supply of weapons and caused significant damage.
Ukraine relies on homemade long-range drones for these attacks, as Western-provided missiles cannot be used to strike Russian territory. Ukrainian officials continue to advocate for the removal of these restrictions, arguing they hinder their ability to effectively combat Russia.
