Long-range drones operated by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) have destroyed two ammunition depots used by Russian forces in the Luhansk region.

According to Ukrinform, the SBU reported that on the night of August 18-19, drones struck two Russian ammunition depots in the town of Bilokurakyne, located in the temporarily occupied Luhansk region. The town sits on a key railway line used to deliver ammunition from Russia to the front, particularly to the Pokrovsk sector.

Preliminary reports indicate the drones hit the depots at least seven times. The explosions triggered a large fire, which was also recorded by FIRMS, the international real-time fire monitoring system.

"The SBU continues systematic strikes deep behind enemy lines to reduce the offensive potential of the Russian army at the front. Destroying enemy ammunition directly helps our warriors bravely holding back Russian assaults. The demilitarization of enemy stockpiles and equipment will continue," the agency said.
