Russian Shahed Depots Ablaze After Ukrainian Drone Attack in Donetsk, Video

Ukrainian drone operators from the 14th Regiment of Unmanned Aerial Systems have released footage showing strikes on Russian ammunition depots and storage sites used for Shahed-type attack drones in the occupied city of Donetsk on December 15.

The combat video shows precision drone strikes hitting facilities used by Russian forces to stockpile weapons and loitering munitions.

According to the unit, the operation was aimed at reducing Russia’s ability to launch attacks on Ukrainian cities and frontline positions.

“Today, weapons from these warehouses will no longer terrorize Ukrainian cities or shell our positions,” the regiment said in a statement accompanying the footage.

The unit added that its drone crews continue to conduct regular strike missions against Russian military infrastructure.

“We burn the enemy every day and every night. Watch the process,” the regiment wrote.

Donetsk remains one of the key logistical hubs for Russian forces operating in eastern Ukraine, with ammunition depots and drone storage sites frequently targeted by Ukrainian long-range and strike UAV units as part of efforts to degrade Russia’s rear-area capabilities.

Earlier, Ukrainian Special Operations Forces carried out a high-precision deep-strike operation on a storage and launch area for Shahed attack drones near Cape Chauda in temporarily occupied Crimea.
