Ukraine Strikes Air Defences and Oil Depot in Crimea, Disrupts Drone Command Sites

Ukrainian Armed Forces carried out a series of strikes on Russian military targets throughout April 28 and the night of April 29, hitting air defense systems, an oil depot, and ammunition warehouses, according to a report by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

During an operation at the Kacha airfield in temporarily occupied Crimea, Ukrainian troops struck an MR-10 radar station, an air defense control point, and a Parol-4 ground radar interrogator. In the Zaporizhzhia region, the military successfully targeted a Russian Tor anti-aircraft missile system near Tykhonivka.

The strikes also heavily impacted Russian logistics networks. The Ukrainian Armed Forces have destroyed an ammunition depot near Pervomaiske and hit the TES oil depot in Simferopol in occupied Crimea, the General Staff noted.

A separate focus of the operation was the degradation of the enemy drone command system. Ukrainian forces struck UAV control points in the areas of Huliaipole, Zaliznychne, Tykhonivka, Bondarevske, Komar, and the village of Zaporizhzhia, as well as in the settlement of Tyotkino in Russia’s Kursk region. Workshops for servicing drones were also hit in Bondarevske and Burchak.

Additionally, Ukrainian units carried out a successful strike on a Russian command and observation post near Pokrovsk in the Donetsk region, the General Staff reported.
