General Staff: The Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed the command post of the 8th Army of the Russian Federation.

The Armed Forces of Ukraine carried out successful operations against important military targets of the Russian occupying forces.

A precise strike was delivered to the command post of the 8th Guards Combined Arms Army of the Russian Federation in the city of Khartsyzsk, Donetsk region.

This facility was actively used by the occupiers to coordinate attacks against Ukrainian military and civilian population, particularly the residents of Kurakhove.

In another operation, the 'Kombinat Kristal' oil depot in Engels, Saratov region was attacked.

Numerous explosions and a large-scale fire were recorded at the site. The significance of this operation lies in the fact that the oil depot supplied fuel to the military airfield 'Engels-2', where the enemy's strategic aviation is based.

The operation was carried out jointly by the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and the Armed Forces' drone systems in cooperation with other components of the Defense Forces. The destruction of the oil depot created serious logistical problems for the occupants' strategic aviation and significantly reduced their ability to strike at peaceful Ukrainian cities.
