Ukrainian defense forces have destroyed a major Russian ammunition depot in the occupied settlement of Bohdanivka, Luhansk region, eliminating stocks of precision tank rounds and large quantities of drones.
According to the General Staff of Ukraine on September 22, Russian troops had organized the site as a distribution point for the 17th Tank Regiment of the 70th Motor Rifle Division.
The facility stored ammunition of multiple types, including guided ZUBK14 tank rounds designed to strike armored targets at distances beyond conventional tank munitions.
The General Staff reported that the depot contained thousands of shells for artillery and tanks, along with tens of thousands of mines, grenades, and cartridges.
Deliveries also included over 19,000 drones of various models intended for Russian units operating in Donetsk. Among them were the “Molniya,” “Boomerang,” “Vandal Novgorodskiy,” and “Gorynych” systems, together with supporting equipment such as batteries, communications modules, and video transmitters.
The ZUBK14 rounds, also destroyed in the strike, are notable for their extended range of about 4–5 kilometers. After being fired from a tank gun, the projectile activates a sustainer engine and guidance system, allowing it to adjust course toward its target.
Earlier, on the night of August 19, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) conducted a precision drone strike on two Russian ammunition depots in Bilokurakyne, a key logistics hub in occupied Luhansk.
According to the SBU, the town lies on a major railway route used to supply Russian forces near Pokrovsk. The attack, involving at least seven drone strikes, caused extensive fires confirmed by NASA’s FIRMS satellite monitoring system. The operation was part of Ukraine’s broader effort to degrade Russian logistics and reduce their offensive capabilities.
