Petro Andriushchenko, head of the Center for Studying Occupation, told 24tv that there were multiple hits. The target area contained several military bases of the Russian occupiers, sites for lifting equipment, and railway facilities.

The attack also aimed to disrupt Russian railway logistics. In the village of Nikolske, up to six impacts were recorded, where there was a concentration of Russian personnel. According to Andriushchenko, there are dead and wounded; occupied hospitals are receiving wounded occupiers.

Concrete results cannot yet be published for security reasons, Andriushchenko said. He emphasized: “It was very loud. That was not air defense, but impacts.” There were also attacks on military logistics near the occupied city of Melitopol in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, including trucks and the railway. Power supply in Melitopol was disrupted.
