Among the successful strikes, Ukrainian forces hit a radar station from the S-400 air defense system (96L6) near Krasnohirske, located in the temporarily occupied part of the Zaporizhzhia region. Additionally, the “Nebо-SVU” radar station was targeted in the Gvardiske area, which is also under Russian occupation in Crimea.

Furthermore, fuel tanks near Mariupol were destroyed, and material and technical resources were obliterated in the areas of Rybynske and Topolyne.

In the related development, Ukraine’s Defense Forces launched a series of precision strikes on Russian unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) storage sites near Donetsk Airport on the night of April 14. The strikes, which aimed at reducing Russia's offensive capabilities, were carried out using SCALP cruise missiles and GBU-39 precision-guided bombs.

According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the operation was led by Ukrainian Air Force units as part of a broader strategy to disrupt Russian military logistics. The targets were located in the temporarily occupied Donetsk region and were used for storing attack drones.

Alongside the SCALP missiles, Ukrainian forces deployed guided aerial bombs and strike drones to hit critical Russian logistics hubs and ammunition depots. The strikes were confirmed in several locations, including Azovske in the Zaporizhzhia region, and Urzuf and Kulykivske in the Donetsk region.

At the same time, the ATESH partisan movement has claimed responsibility for a sabotage operation deep inside Russian territory, targeting a critical communications node used by the Russian military in the Sverdlovsk region.

In a statement issued on April 15, the movement revealed that their operatives successfully destroyed a telecommunications cabinet linked to a major communications tower in the settlement of Gorny Shchit. This facility, described as essential for maintaining secure command and data transmission channels, is believed to play a central role in Russia’s military logistics operations.

“Our agents continue to strike the aggressor’s military infrastructure deep behind the lines,” the statement read. “In Gorny Shchit, we successfully destroyed a telecommunications cabinet connected to a key communications tower that supports the operational control and secure data channels of the Central Military District headquarters.”
