Ukrainian defenders destroyed Russian fuel tanks in Zaporizhia region

According to sources, initially, military counterintelligence officers of the SBU blew up the tracks while a Russian train with tanks was moving near the village of Oleksiivka, Bilmatskyi district.

When it stopped, fighters from the 14th Regiment of the Unmanned Systems Forces began attacking with drones, which led to some of the tanks catching fire.

After that, the GUR aerial reconnaissance, in coordination with the Tavria OSUV, attacked the outermost cars with HIMARS missiles so that the enemy could not stretch the tanks and save some of the fuel.

In the end, GUR specialists finished off the train with attack drones.

In addition to the destruction of the locomotive and 40 tank cars, an important railway line that supplied Russian troops was put out of action for a long time.
