The photos show the destroyed railway tracks, overturned wagons, and buildings damaged by the detonation of projectiles near the storage site of Russian Federation military ammunition, as a result of the accurate strike by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

According to local residents’ testimonies, the Russians have been storing various weapons here in large quantities since the summer of 2022.

It was delivered to the Partizani railway station, located on the Dzhankoy-Melitopol-Fedoryivka line of the Prydniprovsk Railway, from Crimea and further supplied to the occupiers’ army in the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia directions.

It is noted that the occupiers had organized large ammunition depots on the territory of the elevator, which directly adjoins the Partizani station and the residential area of the village of Rykove, posing a potential threat to the civilian population.

As a result of the ammunition detonation, which scattered on the adjacent streets, many buildings were affected.

Local chats report that up to 20 tons of ammunition survived in the depots on the territory of the elevator (according to other information, in its underground premises).

Presumably, the occupiers plan to detonate these ammunition to avoid accidental explosions.

On the same day, June 18, the detonation of ammunition from a missile strike by the Ukrainian Armed Forces lasted more than six hours.

Ukrainian military reported that there are many casualties and injuries among Russian military personnel as a result of this strike.

Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the Ukrainian Armed Forces!
