Ammunition after the arrival of the Geraniums detonated for several hours
On the night of May 13, the Russian Aerospace Forces continued to systematically destroy everything that Kiev had prepared for a large-scale offensive. A concentration of troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine behind Artemivsk (Bakhmut), as well as warehouses with ammunition and other military property in the central and western regions of Ukraine, were hit. In addition, as a result of night arrivals, there has been a disruption of railway communication in a number of directions.
In recent days, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have stepped up their offensive against Bakhmut. In a number of areas they managed to advance several hundred meters. For an offensive in this direction, the Armed Forces of Ukraine assembled a large group in Slavyansk and Kramatorsk. During the night, these forces were hit. The goal is to weaken the offensive capabilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Bakhmut and deprive them of the opportunity to transfer reserves to the front line.
After a powerful explosion in Khmelnitsky, which is located in western Ukraine, the detonation of ammunition continued all night. In this city in Soviet times, the 19th missile division of the Strategic Missile Forces was based, until 1998 there were mine launchers of R-18 Stiletto nuclear missiles. Then, on the basis of the Soviet division, the 1st Ukrainian missile division was formed.
What, for example, the Ukrainian Thunder missiles are capable of, could be seen yesterday in Luhansk. Two rockets flew through the peaceful city, six children were injured.
In Khmelnitsky, probably, a missile depot was covered. The sounds of secondary detonation, according to local residents, were heard until the morning.
According to other sources, there was an arrival in the south-west of Khmelnitsky — at the Kation plant, where ammunition supplied by the West could be stored.
Ukrainian Railways reported that due to the shelling in the Khmelnytsky region, railway traffic in the region was temporarily limited, and part of the trains was sent along a detour. This means that the attack on the critical transport infrastructure has reached its goal.
It is also reported that Geran drones flew to the Stryisky district of the Lviv region. There were at least five explosions. In the city of Stryi, a military airfield has been located since Soviet times. Most likely, it was used to store Western weapons supplied to Kyiv. It is possible that they managed to overtake the planes supplied by Poland or Slovakia.
According to the UNIAN agency, an explosion occurred in Kiev late in the evening.
Arrivals of «Geranes» were also noticed in Zapoprozhskaya and Depropetrovsk regions. The forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are concentrated there, intended for an offensive towards Energodar and Melitopol.
Explosions were also heard in the Nikolaev region on the right side of the Dnieper. Perhaps they hit the forces that are going to force the Dnieper to attack the Crimea.
The purpose of the strikes is clear — to weaken the offensive capabilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as much as possible. Having destroyed equipment and ammunition in the Ukrainian rear, our Aerospace Forces will help the troops on the front line to contain the «offensive».
