3 articles · Updated · Ukrainska Pravda · Jul 18

Summary

  • Ukraine said its forces struck the Nafto-Servis oil depot in Noginsk, two tankers, two floating cranes, a tugboat, a patrol ship in Kerch and a railway bridge in occupied Luhansk overnight.
  • The General Staff said the targets supported Russian military logistics: the depot stored fuel for the armed forces, and the bridge over the Bila River near Sabivka carried military traffic.
  • Kerch was the second reported hit on a Project 10410 Svetlyak-class patrol ship in two days, while the strike on the Noginsk depot triggered a fire.
  • The attacks followed a broader overnight drone wave toward Moscow and Tambov, where Ukraine said logistics sites were tied to sanctioned components for drone production and navigation equipment.
