Defense forces destroy Russian fuel train in temporarily occupied Luhansk region

Servicemen of the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU), together with colleagues from the Armed Forces of Ukraine, eliminated a Russian fuel train in the temporarily occupied territory of Luhansk.

According to Ukrinform, the 3rd Department of the SSU Main Directorate in Donetsk and Luhansk regions stated this on Facebook.

"Soldiers of the 3rd Department of the SSU Main Directorate in Donetsk and Luhansk regions, together with servicemen of the 1st Separate UAV Systems Center of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, destroyed a railway echelon of Russian occupiers carrying fuel," the statement reads.

According to the report, SSU personnel discovered a Russian train carrying petroleum products at one of the stations in the temporarily occupied Luhansk region during a reconnaissance operation. The target coordinates were promptly passed to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who struck the enemy's fuel tanks with precision using strike drones.

The attack caused a large-scale fire, which was recorded, among other means, via NASA's satellite fire monitoring.

"The SSU, together with the Defense Forces of Ukraine, continues to destroy the enemy's logistical chains," the 3rd SSU Department emphasized.

As Ukrinform previously reported, partisans disabled a railway junction near Luhansk, disrupting Russian army supplies.
