In an official statement published on February 14, the General Staff said Ukrainian units “continue to deliver strikes against important military targets of the enemy” as part of efforts to reduce Russia’s offensive capabilities.
On February 12, Ukrainian forces hit a BK-16 transport and landing craft near Novoozerne in occupied Crimea. The same day, they struck a RSP-10 radar station near Hvardiiske. The radar system is used to detect aerial targets and support aviation control.
Additional strikes on February 12 targeted a Russian communications hub near Prymorsk in the occupied part of Zaporizhzhia region. On February 13, Ukrainian forces attacked a Russian ammunition depot near Novoekonomichne in occupied Donetsk region.
The General Staff described the BK-16 as “successfully hit” and confirmed the damage to the RSP-10 radar system.
The BK-16 is a high-speed transport and landing craft used by Russian forces for operations in coastal areas. According to the General Staff, the vessel was operating in the waters near occupied Crimea at the time of the strike.
The RSP-10 radar station is designed to detect air targets at distances of up to approximately 150 kilometers and to assist in managing aviation operations. Disabling such systems can complicate airspace monitoring and coordination.
The strike on the communications hub in Prymorsk disrupted Russian command and control functions in the area, according to the General Staff.
The ammunition depot targeted near Novoekonomichne was located in occupied Donetsk region. The General Staff did not specify the type or quantity of munitions stored at the site.
Earlier on February 12, Ukraine’s Armed Forces struck a major Russian ammunition storage site belonging to the Main Missile and Artillery Directorate (GRAU) near Kotluban in Russia’s Volgograd region. Powerful explosions and secondary detonations were reported at the facility, while Russian regional authorities confirmed a fire at a Defense Ministry site and ordered evacuations.
