Four coordinated attacks on military installations carried out by the Russian Defense Ministry, as stated in their recent report
In a series of escalating attacks, Russian forces have targeted several key facilities in Ukraine over the course of several days, according to reports from the Russian Ministry of Defense.
On September 17th, the day saw a flurry of activity as Russian forces targeted a drone assembly facility, a significant fuel storage facility, a major ammunition depot, a transportation hub, and temporary deployment points for Ukrainian armed formations. A military command post was also struck, and a critical communication center was targeted the previous day, on September 16th.
The strikes, executed using precision weapons and strike drones, were part of a larger campaign aimed at significant facilities for the Ukrainian military, including energy, fuel, and transport facilities, as well as drone assembly, storage, and launch sites.
The Russian military units involved in these attacks employ a variety of weapons, including large-scale drone attacks (notably Shahed kamikaze drones), ballistic hypersonic missiles (like Kinzhal), cruise missiles (Iskander), and multiple rocket launchers. These attacks are likely conducted by specialized Russian army aerospace and missile troops, along with irregular and regular forces assigned to hybrid warfare and long-range precision strikes.
The attacks have had a devastating impact on Ukraine's infrastructure and military capabilities. The targeted ammunition depot, for instance, was hit with such force that it caused a significant explosion. The strikes on the fuel storage facility and transportation hub are expected to disrupt the flow of goods and resources within the country.
These attacks are not isolated incidents. Russian forces have been targeting Ukrainian energy, fuel, and transportation infrastructure facilities since September 13th. The attacks continue to pose a significant threat to Ukraine's stability and sovereignty.
As the situation in Ukraine continues to unfold, it is crucial for all parties involved to prioritise diplomacy and dialogue in order to find a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
