Ukrainian troops have struck important Russian military facilities in occupied parts of Ukraine, the General Staff of Ukrainian Armed Forces said on Saturday.
Two air defence assets were Russian-held Crimea Peninsula. Ukrainian Defence Forces struck Nebo-U radar station worth around $100 million in Yevpatoria, and a Pantsir-S1 surface-to-air missile and gun system near the settlement of Khutorok. In addition, a Russian UAV warehouse was struck in Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk region.
Earlier, on January 13, Ukrainian forces carried out a missile strike using domestically produced weapons on the Atlant Aero facility in Taganrog, located in Russia’s Rostov region. The site supports the entire production process of Molniya strike-reconnaissance drones, from design and manufacturing to testing, and also produces components for Orion drones deployed by Russian troops. The large-scale attack came two days after Ukrainian forces launched precision attacks on infrastructure backing the Russian military, targeting energy supply, logistics, and air defense capabilities. The strikes reportedly hit three Lukoil drilling platforms in the Caspian Sea, a Buk-M3 air defense launcher in the occupied Luhansk region, and a logistics warehouse operated by Russia’s 49th Army in the Kherson region.
Meanwhile, the General Staff of Ukrainian Armed Forces reported 164 combat clashes with Russian troops on Saturday. According to the General staff, Russians launched 71 air attacks, releasing 189 glide bombs. Russian forces also carried out 3,644 artillery strikes, including 49 using multiple launch rocket systems, and deployed 7,621 loitering munitions.
