Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces carried out a series of precision strikes on Russian military support facilities in occupied territories, including an S-400 air defense base area and fuel depots, the unit said in a statement on Telegram on March 5.
“Front-strike units of the Special Operations Forces continue to destroy the ‘circulatory system’ of enemy forces in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. In recent days, SOF units have carried out a series of high-precision strikes on enemy supply facilities,” the statement said.
According to the Special Operations Forces, Ukrainian troops destroyed a base area of an S-400 surface-to-air missile system in occupied Orlivka in Crimea.
Three fuel and lubricant depots were also struck — in Mariupol and Novoamvrosiivske in Donetsk Oblast — while a logistics supply warehouse was destroyed in Amvrosiivka.
In addition, a repair and recovery unit facility of Russian troops was destroyed in Zachatkivka in Donetsk Oblast.
“The destruction of fuel and logistics depots significantly undermines the enemy’s offensive potential,” the Special Operations Forces said.
On Feb. 25, it was reported that Special Operations Forces units struck Russian air defense positions in occupied Crimea. As a result, an S-400 launcher, a 92N6E radar station and a Pantsir-S1 air defense missile and gun system protecting the site were destroyed.
