Over the past two days, Ukrainian forces have achieved significant results during operations in the territories of Crimea, the Donbas, and the Zaporizhzhia region. According to the command of the Special Operations Forces (SOF) of Ukraine, dozens of critically important energy objects of the Russian Federation have been targeted.

This was reported by the Commander of the SOF, Robert "Madyar" Brovdi, on his Facebook. He provided a detailed report on the operations conducted on July 12 and 13.

### Attacks on Energy Infrastructure

According to "Madyar's" report, 11 energy nodes and substations of various capacities were hit in Crimea and other occupied territories. These facilities are key to ensuring the energy supply of the region and its infrastructure.

### Destruction of Air Defense Systems

In addition to energy targets, Ukrainian forces focused on neutralizing the enemy's air defense systems. The Commander specified that five elements of the enemy's air defense were destroyed during the operations.

### Strikes on the "Shadow Fleet"

Special attention was paid to the maritime component. On the night of July 13, SOF fighters hit 15 vessels of Russia's so-called "shadow fleet." Earlier, on July 10, Ukrainian drones struck 13 vessels near Crimea, including tankers, bulk carriers, and ferries.

These actions demonstrate the ability of Ukrainian forces to deliver precision strikes on strategically important enemy objects, including energy infrastructure and maritime assets.
