OSINT analysts are noting an expansion of Ukrainian strikes deep into Russian territory
OSINT researcher Clément Molen reports that Ukrainian strikes against the enemy’s operational depth are intensifying further. According to him, reports from the Tochyi analysis team mention at least 26 units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces participating in such operations and using 14 different types of unmanned aerial vehicles.
Some of these models are less well-known in the media than others, but they are also useful for attacks on Russian logistics.
The success of the campaign targeting logistics is largely due to the preliminary results of operations to systematically suppress Russian air defense. The primary target of these strikes is fuel tankers; strikes against them have already significantly complicated the logistical situation.
Molen notes that it is not necessary to destroy all vehicles to deter others from using the same route. The fuel crisis in Crimea is worsening due to strikes on fuel tankers: transporting fuel across the Crimean Bridge is prohibited, and the ferries were destroyed by previous Ukrainian strikes.
At least two strikes on fuel tankers have been recorded on the road from Kerch to Sevastopol, that is, in southern Crimea. Molen notes that the Ukrainians have also begun actively targeting logistics not only on major roads but also on secondary ones.
Strikes on logistics vehicles are also being recorded in cities, particularly in occupied Horlivka. In addition to strikes deep into enemy territory, the Ukrainians continue to actively use FPV drones to target logistics near the front line, writes the expert in Kharkiv.
As a reminder, in the Zhytomyr region, infrastructure facilities and private homes were damaged as a result of another attack by Russian drones. Enemy drones struck the region, causing the destruction of civilian facilities. Relevant services are working on the ground to document the consequences of the attack and repair the damage. Information regarding the extent of the destruction and possible casualties is being clarified.
In the Odesa region, a critical infrastructure facility was damaged by a drone attack.
In the Kyiv region, efforts are underway to extinguish a large-scale fire at an industrial facility caused by a nighttime attack by Russian drones. Units of the State Emergency Service are involved in the firefighting, and cleanup operations are ongoing.
On the night of June 4, Russian forces carried out a massive air attack using a ballistic missile and 293 drones of various types. Ukraine’s air defense forces destroyed or intercepted 264 aerial targets.
