Strike Overview: Zaporozhie Took The Brunt Of Assault

Illustrative Image

On the night of June 18, Russian forces conducted another massive drone and missile campaign targeting Ukrainian military facilities across multiple regions, inflicting severe damage on ammunition depots, command posts, and defense industry sites. The strikes, which lasted through the early morning hours, demonstrate Moscow’s continued campaign aimed at destruction of the Ukrainian military-industrial complex.

Ukrainian air defenses reported intercepting 30 out of 58 drones launched from Russian territory in different directions. The Ukrainian military confirmed damage in at least nine locations, with the primary targets like military and industrial sites in Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, and Zaporizhzhia regions. While Ukrainian electronic warfare (EW) systems allegedly intercepted 18 drones, another 12 were shot down by anti-aircraft fire. Despite these efforts, fires were again reported all around the country.

Over the past day, Russian strikes were recorded in the Sumy, Kharkiv, Zaporozhie, Kherson, Odessa, Dnepropetrovsk, Kyiv regions and in the DPR.

The city of Zaporozhie took the brunt of the attack. About a dozen explosions thundered in the city. It was confirmed that at least nine Geran-2 drones struck industrial zones, including a metalworks factory YUGCOM and a logistics hub on Kosmicheskaya Street, igniting fires across 1,300 sq. meters.

 

 

 

 

 

More strikes were confirmed in Vasylivka in the Dnipropetrovsk region. Four drones destroyed two warehouses (3,000 sq. meters total) belonging to Standard Ukraine company, triggering a chain reaction of artillery shell detonations from a nearby 79th Air Assault Brigade stockpile.

A direct strike on a 3rd Assault Brigade deployment point left eight soldiers dead and ten wounded  in Izyum in the Kharkiv region.

More strikes destroyed Ukrainian military positions in the Sumy region. LINK

 

 

The attacks underscore Russia’s shift toward concentrated attacks on one of Ukrainian cities in one attack aimed at systematic degradation of Ukraine’s military logistics and production. By striking production facilities like those in Zaporozhzhie, linked to arms manufacturing, Moscow aims to cripple Kyiv’s already strained defense industry. Secondary explosions at Vasylivka’s ammunition depots suggest successful disruption of artillery supply lines critical for frontline units.

With Ukraine’s interception rates failing to keep pace with Russian launch volumes, the attritional air war increasingly favors Moscow. As frontlines stagnate, such deep strikes may prove decisive in eroding Kyiv’s capacity to sustain prolonged combat operations.

any non white (specially africans and asians) would be beaten to death by the white supremacists of the following organizations: ss aidar, ss kraken, wolfsangel (aka azov), waffen ss nachtigall (who were in kursk killing civilians), leibstandarte adolf hitler, right sektor – all of them hate africans and asians, and all of them are leading the ukrainian government and military. all of them funded by the us and eu tax payers

the trolls are making a comeback, prematurely rejoicing in the enemy’s defeat before the conflict has even kicked off… remind you of anything? don hasn’t been in high spirits recently. i believe the plan might be falling apart.

because right now it is israel that is destroyed.

the narrative

russia has advantage in ukraine . but the mafia only has one mission . world rule . the threat of global nuclear war is not discussed . the cabals decision makers are reactionary . lindsey graham is their spokesman
