According to a statement released by the brigade on November 3, the strikes destroyed a Russian ammunition depot and damaged military infrastructure.
The brigade reported that its units targeted several identified Russian military positions, striking an ammunition storage facility, troop shelters, and Russian personnel.
According to the Ukrainian military, Russian forces also suffered losses in communications and electronic warfare equipment, disrupting systems used to coordinate battlefield operations.
The brigade emphasized that disabling these capabilities complicates Russian command and control, undermines coordination between units, and limits the effectiveness of unmanned aerial systems.
“Despite the challenging situation in the sector and continued Russian attempts to reinforce their forces, paratroopers from the 77th Separate Airmobile Brigade continue to hold their designated positions and strike enemy targets, disrupting preparations for new assaults and hindering further Russian advances,” the brigade added.
The reported strikes come amid broader Ukrainian operations targeting Russian military infrastructure and supply facilities.
On November 2, Ukraine’s 73rd Naval Special Operations Center reported that its operators had struck a Russian military storage facility, triggering a powerful explosion followed by multiple secondary detonations. The blasts were so intense that Russian military personnel questioned whether a nuclear weapon had been used.
The Ukrainian unit also released footage of the operation on its official Facebook page, showing a massive explosion at the targeted facility followed by a series of additional detonations. According to the 73rd Naval Special Operations Center, the strike caused significant damage to the facility and prompted reactions among Russian troops.
