Ukraine’s Defense Forces carried out a coordinated strike on a Russian military logistics support area located about 20 kilometers southeast of Pokrovsk in the Donetsk region.

According to Ukrinform, the 7th Rapid Response Corps of the Air Assault Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported this on Facebook and released footage of the combat operation.

The strike on the enemy’s rear infrastructure was conducted by units operating within the area of responsibility of the 7th Rapid Response Corps in coordination with the East Group of Forces, the Unmanned Systems Forces, and the Alpha Special Operations Center of the Security Service of Ukraine.

As a result of the joint operation, Ukrainian forces struck a logistics and materiel support warehouse located on the grounds of a former mine, as well as an antenna system deployed by Russian troops on top of a spoil tip.

According to available information, the network of radio-technical equipment helped Russian forces launch and guide Molniya strike drones against Ukrainian military positions near Pokrovsk and also provided internet connectivity for enemy troops in the area.

Ukrainian forces used HIMARS systems and medium-range strike drones in the attack.
