As part of continuing campaign against arms depots and military infrastructure, Ukrainian forces blasted a military installation in Russia’s Bryansk Oblast.
Ukrainian military intelligence forces launched drone strikes against Russian military installations in the Bryansk Oblast on Saturday morning, marking Ukraine’s Constitution Day with what officials described as continued “demilitarization” operations.
According to Ukraine’s Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR), strike drones targeted facilities belonging to the 120th arsenal of Russia’s Main Missile and Artillery Directorate. The attack occurred on June 28, coinciding with Ukraine’s Constitution Day celebrations.
Local residents in Bryansk reported hearing heavy gunfire and multiple explosions throughout the morning. Social media posts from the area described the sounds of unidentified unmanned aerial vehicles followed by loud detonations.
“Oh, how terrifying it was twice! They specifically targeted us,” read messages on local public forums from residents who witnessed the aerial activity and explosions. Russian local authorities declined to provide official comment on the explosions, instead issuing reminders about prohibitions on filming or sharing videos of what they termed “consequences of air defense work.”
The Ukrainian intelligence service said that information regarding the full extent of damage from Saturday’s strike is still being assessed. Intelligence sources characterized the operation as part of ongoing efforts to target Russian military infrastructure.
This latest attack follows a similar strike just two days earlier, when HUR drones hit fuel storage facilities at the 1061st Material and Technical Support Center of the Russian Armed Forces in Bryansk on the evening of June 26. That facility housed rocket fuel and other petroleum products used by Russian military forces.
The strikes are part of Ukraine’s continued strategy of targeting Russian military logistics and supply infrastructure deep within Russian territory, using long-range drone capabilities to disrupt military operations supporting the ongoing conflict.
Russian authorities have not released casualty figures or detailed damage assessments from either attack. The Ukrainian military typically does not provide specific details about weapons systems or operational planning for such strikes.
