Ukraine’s military said on Tuesday that its forces had carried out a series of strikes targeting Russian infrastructure and assets, including two oil depots, a technical observation post in the Black Sea, and several reconnaissance drones.
According to a statement released by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Telegram, the attacks were part of efforts to “reduce the offensive potential” of Russian forces.
The statement said Ukrainian units struck the Dmitriyevskaya oil depot in Russia’s Tambov region overnight on December 3, describing the site as a facility used to supply Russia’s military operations. The report said the target was hit, causing a fire and damaging several fuel storage tanks.
In a separate incident, Ukrainian forces reportedly targeted a technical observation post on the MSP-4 offshore platform in the Black Sea. “According to preliminary information, the occupiers’ UAV crew was destroyed, and the surface-environment radar on the Sivash self-elevating drilling rig was hit,” the statement added.
Ukraine’s military also said it destroyed three Orion reconnaissance-strike drones during a November 27 strike on the Saky airfield in Crimea, claiming each drone was worth around $5 million.
Additionally, Kyiv confirmed that its forces carried out a December 2 strike on the Livny oil depot in Russia’s Oryol region, which resulted in fires at two storage tanks.
Russia has not publicly commented on the reported strikes, and the claims could not be independently verified.
The Ukrainian military said the operations were aimed at undermining Russia’s military and logistical capabilities.
Meanwhile, Ukraine’s General Staff reported continued fighting along the front lines, saying Russian forces had suffered personnel and equipment losses over the past day. Moscow has not released its own figures, and both sides routinely provide differing accounts of battlefield developments.
