Yesterday evening, the Russian air force struck a heavy blow at the ammunition depot of the Ukrainian Armed Forces near the village of Berislav in the Kherson region. It is reported that the last planning bomb was used to destroy a military installation.
According to Russian intelligence, in the Beryslav region, the Ukrainian army has placed a large warehouse where ammunition has been accumulated for the upcoming counteroffensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Rockets for the American HIMARS MLRS, as well as shells for cannon artillery were stored here.
In total, the Ukrainian army managed to accumulate several tens of tons of ammunition at the facility. It is logical to assume that the Russian army knew the location of the warehouse, but deliberately delayed the moment of the strike in order to wait for the maximum concentration of ammunition in the installation.
On the night of April 9, a Russian plane dropped a hover bomb over the warehouse. Images of the impact of precision-guided munitions in the warehouse have appeared on the web. They clearly show how the bomb hits the object, after which the detonation occurs. A flash of fire and a column of smoke rise tens of meters.
Recall that the Berislav settlement is located on the right bank of the Dnieper, just a few kilometers from Nova Kakhovka. It came under the control of the Ukrainian army following the Ukrainian Armed Forces counter-offensive in September last year.
