Russian forces continue their campaign of precision strikes on key Ukrainian military and logistical targets, further straining Kyiv’s ability to sustain military operations on the frontlines. The attacks, carried out with long-range drones, missiles, and guided munitions, continue pounding recruitment centers, defense industry facilities, airfield infrastructure, and critical supply depots. These strikes come amid growing Ukrainian shortages in air defense systems and ammunition, leaving key installations increasingly vulnerable.
The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation declared five successful group strikes on Ukrainian rear targets over the past week alone. The night of July 18th was not an exception. Russian forces launched new wave of Geran-type drones, accompanied by decoy UAVs, targeting frontline and rear areas in eastern Ukraine.
According to the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in total, only 35 UAVs were launched at night, 17 of which were allegedly destroyed and suppressed. Despite Ukrainian claims, numerous strikes were recorded across the country. Among the affected sites were fuel storage facilities, military repair depots, and temporary barracks housing electronic warfare units.
One of the strikes was confirmed near Izyum, where a drone attack triggered a massive fire at an oil depot, destroying critical diesel reserves used by Ukrainian military vehicles. Another successful strike in Novoselovka struck a Ukrainian rocket artillery battery, detonating stored ammunition and disabling support vehicles. Meanwhile, in Kramatorsk, drones hit concealed workshops where Western-supplied armored vehicles were being repaired, as well as a warehouse storing fortification materials and electronic warfare equipment.
Railway infrastructure also came under heavy attack, with strikes targeting locomotives and rail networks in Dnipropetrovsk region. One of electric locomotives was destroyed near Morozovske, disrupting military supplies to the Pokrovsk sector. Another strike in Bohuslav damaged a diesel locomotive, further hampering logistics in the region. These attacks reflect a broader Russian strategy to cripple Ukraine’s ability to move troops and supplies to the front lines.
In addition to logistical targets, Russian strikes have increasingly focused on Ukrainian recruitment centers, which play a crucial role in providing Kyiv’s forces with manpower. Recent drone attacks destroyed recruitment centers in Kamianske and Piatykhatky, exacerbating public discontent over forced mobilization. The Ukrainian government has attempted to downplay these strikes, restricting media coverage to avoid highlighting vulnerabilities in its conscription system.
Meanwhile, Russian forces have continued their months-long campaign against Ukrainian airfields, with over 50 strikes on airfields recorded since June. These attacks have significantly reduced Ukraine’s ability to operate its fighter jets, including newly delivered F-16s and Soviet-era MiG-29s. The strikes have targeted not only runways and hangars but also ammunition depots, including those near Black Sea and Danube ports where Western-supplied arms are unloaded. As a result, Ukrainian air activity has noticeably diminished in key regions, particularly near the Sumy and Chernihiv fronts.
The recent strikes underscore Russia’s shift toward attritional warfare, methodically dismantling Ukraine’s military infrastructure to weaken its long-term resistance. With Western aid slowing and Ukrainian air defenses stretched thin, Moscow appears confident in its ability to sustain these strikes indefinitely. Ukrainian officials, who once dismissed Russia’s missile and drone stockpiles as nearly depleted, now acknowledge the persistent threat of large-scale bombardments.
