Defense forces of Ukraine hit another important object of the Russian invaders

On the night of August 18, an attack was made on the "Kavkaz" plant in the Rostov region of the Russian Federation. Oil and oil products were stored here, which were also supplied for the needs of the occupation army of the Russian Federation.

At least two sources of ignition were recorded on the territory of the facility. More detailed information on the consequences of the damage is being clarified.

The task was carried out by the forces and means of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine in cooperation with the Armed Forces and other components of the Defense Forces of Ukraine.

Measures to undermine the military and economic potential of the Russian Federation continue.

Next will be...

Glory to Ukraine!

The UN’s nuclear watchdog warned on Saturday that the safety situation at Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant was “deteriorating” after a nearby drone strike.

Earlier on Saturday, Russia accused Ukraine of dropping an explosive charge on a road near the occupied plant in southern Ukraine.

The plant, which was seized by Russia’s forces early in the war, has come under repeated attacks that both sides have accused each other of carrying out.

International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) experts on site were informed of the detonation near essential plant facilities on Saturday and immediately visited the area, the agency said in a statement.

Arriving in Kurshchyna, the walking corps from the 155th brigade of the Russian Federation got lost. Stupidly, the armored personnel carrier rolled onto the track.

That's where the armored personnel carrier burned. The Wings of Hell warriors destroyed it with your drones.

After the devils from the 155th cut off the head of a fallen Ukrainian soldier, they became priority targets. And dying from a drone will be an even better option for them.

The hunt continues.

Russian convicts from the Storm Z unit drank too much brew and opened fire at a group of their fellow soldiers. They immediately shot back at them in a friendly manner. One was killed, a few wounded, the rest just beaten and tied up.
