Ukrainian sources claim that the attack resulted in the complete destruction of the depot, located at the Kadamovsky training ground in Russia’s southern Rostov region, causing it to erupt in flames.
The large-scale operation was orchestrated by Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) on the night of December 21-22.
A source within the SBU told Ukraine’s private news agency Interfax-Ukraine: “SBU long-range drones carried out a ‘hellish’ airstrike on the ammunition depot at the Kadamovsky training ground. This training ground is one of the largest in Russia and is located near the city of Novocherkassk in the Rostov region.
“It was a depot used by the enemy to supply their forces operating near Kramatorsk. Thanks to the SBU's efforts, the Russians now face serious logistical difficulties that significantly impact their combat capability.”
“The SBU continues to actively demilitarize Russian rear areas, from which weapons are sent to the front line,” the source said, adding: “Drone strikes against the Russian military will continue.”
Ukraine has stepped up its use of drones against Russia this year as the conflict approaches its third year.
Kyiv relies on long-range drones to target Russian strategic and military targets, including ammunition depots and oil facilities.
