The corps released footage showing drone attacks on Russian railway assets, highlighting an ongoing campaign to disrupt the transportation networks supplying Moscow’s frontline forces.
Ukrainian drone operations have reached railway junctions in Russian-occupied Volnovakha, Debaltseve, Yasynuvata, Yenakiieve, and Dovzhanske, extending beyond areas immediately adjacent to the front line.
These railway hubs form part of the supply network used to transport fuel, ammunition, and military equipment to Russian forces operating in eastern Ukraine.
According to Azov, Russian troops have deployed mobile air defense teams and electronic warfare systems to protect railway routes, but these measures have not prevented Ukrainian drones from striking trains and railway equipment.

Fuel transportation remains a particular focus of the campaign. By targeting locomotives and tanker cars, Ukrainian forces aim to restrict fuel deliveries to Russian armored vehicles, military trucks, and other equipment operating near the front.
Azov also credited the Come Back Alive Foundation and individual donors for providing 440 Starlink Mini satellite communication terminals, which help Ukrainian drone units maintain communications during operations far from their positions.
The railway strikes come amid a broader Ukrainian campaign targeting Russia’s military supply chains and defense industry. On October 24–25, Ukrainian drones and missiles struck five Russian defense-related facilities producing components for Iskander missiles, air defense systems, and other military equipment. The attacks are part of Ukraine’s efforts to disrupt Moscow’s weapons production and frontline logistics.
