Ukraine Strikes Major Russian Ammunition Depots

Ukraine has launched successful drone strikes on two significant Russian ammunition depots located in Tikhoretsk and Oktyabrsky, as part of its ongoing strategy to disrupt Russian military logistics. These strikes, which occurred overnight, targeted facilities housing thousands of tonnes of munitions, including supplies reportedly sourced from North Korea, and are among the largest storage sites for the Russian military. The Ukrainian General Staff noted that the Tikhoretsk depot is crucial to Russia's military operations, further emphasizing the scale of the operation. In response to the strikes, Russian authorities announced evacuations in the Krasnodar region due to fires and explosions following the drone attacks. Additionally, these developments mark an escalation in Ukraine's capabilities to strike deep within Russian territory, as Kyiv seeks more advanced long-range weaponry from its Western allies. The situation remains tense, with ongoing missile exchanges as both sides engage in retaliatory attacks.
