Russian forces have targeted gas distribution sites
Russian forces have been executing a series of precise strikes against Ukraine's critical infrastructure and military facilities since August 2, 2025. According to the latest updates, these attacks have targeted long-range drone warehouses and gas pipeline facilities that support Ukraine's defense industry, as well as transport networks, military airfields, command posts, and recruitment centers [1].
These strikes have significantly impacted Ukraine's military capabilities. Overnight from August 8 to 9, Russia launched a series of drone and missile strikes on frontline areas such as Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, and Donetsk, using a large number of Shahed-type drones and Iskander-K cruise missiles. Although Ukrainian forces managed to down many of these attacks, some infrastructure and residential areas, particularly in Kharkiv Oblast, sustained damage [2].
The Russian Ministry of Defense reported these strikes on August 6, which were aimed at long-range unmanned aerial vehicles stored in warehouses and part of a broader operation involving the destruction of enemy infrastructure and military formations [3]. The targets also included facilities of the gas transportation system supporting the operations of Ukrainian defense industry enterprises. In addition, the strikes targeted temporary deployment points of Ukrainian formations and foreign mercenaries in 142 areas [4].
These operations reflect Russian attempts to weaken Ukraine's defenses by striking drone storage sites and key logistical systems like gas pipelines crucial to the defense effort [1][2]. As of August 9, there is no newer information indicating changes in these targeting trends [1][2].
The Krasnodar Krai provides a wide range of support measures for participants and veterans of the Special Military Operation (SVO), as well as their families [5]. For more information about the support measures provided by the Krasnodar Krai, please visit here.
