Russian Military Trucks and Troop Buses Go Up in Flames After Ukrainian Strike on Donetsk Depot

Ukrainian Defense Forces carried out a large-scale strike on a Russian military vehicle depot in the temporarily occupied city of Donetsk overnight, destroying at least 10 vehicles and severely damaging dozens more, according to Petro Andriushchenko, head of Ukraine’s Center for the Study of Occupation.

The attack targeted a transport depot in Donetsk’s Kirovskyi district that Russian forces had been using to station military vehicles, Andriushchenko reported on Telegram on November 11.

According to the information available to him, at least five trucks and five buses used to transport Russian military personnel were completely destroyed by fire.

Several dozen additional vehicles reportedly sustained critical damage and, according to preliminary assessments, are no longer operational.

“As a result, Russian forces lost not only vehicles used to transport cargo but also some of their means of transporting military personnel,” head of Ukraine’s Center for the Study of Occupation added

Andriushchenko noted that the full extent of the damage has yet to be established, with further assessments needed to determine the final number of vehicles lost.

The reported attack follows another Ukrainian operation targeting Russian military equipment in the occupied part of the Donetsk region.

In a separate strike, Ukrainian drone operators targeted a Russian TOS-1A Solntsepyok heavy thermobaric rocket launcher concealed inside a military equipment shelter.

The operation was carried out by drone operators from the 4th Battalion of Ukraine’s 413th Raid Brigade, part of the Armed Forces’ Unmanned Systems Forces.
