Ukraine’s Defense Forces carried out overnight strikes on several Russian military targets in occupied Crimea and parts of Donetsk Oblast, the General Staff said on May 28.
The statement said a ST-68 radar station used to detect airborne targets was struck in the Russian-occupied city of Feodosia.
According to the statement, the Russian radar system is designed to detect, track and transmit coordinates of aerial targets within Russia’s air defense network.
Ukraine’s Defense Forces also struck UAV command posts near Kalynove and Novohrodivka in Donetsk Oblast.
In addition, strikes targeted Russian logistics depots near Mariupol, Novoselivka Druha and Buhas, as well as an ammunition depot near Hrabove in Donetsk Oblast.
Ukraine’s General Staff said that on May 27, Ukrainian forces struck a Russian command post near Paraskoviivka in Donetsk Oblast. The facility was confirmed destroyed, and preliminary reports indicated 18 Russian servicemen were killed.
On May 25, the General Staff reported that Ukrainian forces had used Storm Shadow cruise missiles to strike a key Russian command-and-communications center in occupied territory of Luhansk Oblast.
