Jun 23, 2025
Kiev [Ukraine], June 23: Ukraine's HUR military intelligence service on Sunday said it had conducted a successful operation to disrupt fuel supplies to Russian occupying forces in the south-east of the country.
According to the report, a Russian military tanker train was destroyed by drones in the Zaporizhzhya region.
The tank wagons were hit by drones "one after the other as if on a bowling alley," the HUR wrote on Telegram.
Dense clouds of smoke formed over the area as around 20 tank wagons were reportedly destroyed, it said. Russian railway workers managed to bring part of the train to safety by pulling it towards the city of Melitopol using a diesel locomotive, according to the HUR.
The information could not be independently verified.
Meanwhile, three people have been killed in a Russian missile attack on a Ukrainian military training area, the Ukrainian armed forces said on Sunday.
Another 11 people were injured in the attack, with further casualties prevented due to a timely warning by airspace surveillance, the Ukrainian army command said on Facebook.
It comes just a few weeks after at least 12 recruits were killed and dozens injured in a Russian attack on a military training area in Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region. (DPA)
