Ukrainian defense forces carried out a series of large-scale strikes on strategically important objects on Russian territory during the night and morning of July 25. Operations were conducted in several regions, including the Urals, the Volga region, and the South, as well as in the Caspian Sea. Official confirmation of the attacks came from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
Strikes on industrial and logistics centers
During the night operation, drones struck key infrastructure facilities supporting the enemy's war machine. The targets included:
- Tyumen: A hit was recorded at an oil refinery.
- Yekaterinburg: A large warehouse complex of the Wildberries marketplace was attacked. A fire was recorded at the scene of the incident.
- Kirov: An enterprise supplying components for weapons used by Russia to strike Ukraine was struck again. The facility is located 1,200 kilometers from the state border.
- Rostov-on-Don: A hit was inflicted on a train carrying fuel and lubricants.
In addition, strikes were carried out on Engels and occupied Luhansk, where fires also broke out.
Results in the Caspian Sea
Significant successes were also recorded on the water surface. In the Caspian Sea, Ukrainian drones struck a military ship, as well as vessels involved in transporting military cargo from Iran. These actions are aimed at breaking the logistics chains of weapons supplies.
Official position of Kyiv
Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine continues to apply "long-range sanctions" in response to Russian attacks.
