Ukraine’s military says it has carried out strikes on one of Russia’s main explosives factories and an oil terminal in occupied Crimea, escalating long-range attacks on key sites supporting Moscow’s war effort.
Ukraine’s General Staff said on Monday that “numerous explosions” were reported after a strike on the Y. M. Sverdlov explosives factory in western Russia, which produces materials used in a wide range of ammunition for the Russian army.
A separate attack targeted an oil depot in the port city of Feodosia, eastern Crimea, setting off a large fire, according to the statement. Ukrainian forces also reported hitting an ammunition depot elsewhere on the peninsula, which has been under Russian occupation since 2014.
