**Ukraine Strikes Russian Ammunition Depot in Occupied Donetsk Oblast**
Reports are emerging that Ukraine has targeted a Russian ammunition depot in the town of Khartsyzk, located in occupied Donetsk Oblast. According to Russian Telegram channels, massive explosions were seen near the reported ammunition depot on July 2.
Videos posted on social media appear to show the devastating effects of the attack, with huge explosions and smoke billowing from the area. However, The Kyiv Independent cannot immediately verify the reports due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
It’s not clear what damage was caused by the attack or whether there were any casualties. Ukraine’s military has also not commented on the reported strike.
**Ukraine’s Military Campaign Against Russia**
This latest attack is just the latest example of Ukraine’s military strategy against Russian forces. For months, Ukraine has been targeting key military targets deep within Russian-occupied territories in an attempt to weaken Moscow’s fighting power.
On June 30, Ukrainian forces struck a command post of the 8th Combined Arms Army of the Russian Armed Forces in Donetsk Oblast. This attack was part of a broader campaign by Ukraine to disrupt Russia’s military operations and push back against their advances.
**Russia’s Escalating Efforts**
Meanwhile, Russia has been escalating its efforts in the region. They have focused on capturing the embattled town of Pokrovsk in Donetsk Oblast and have recently begun attempts to break through into neighboring Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.
Dnipropetrovsk Oblast is a critical region that has not yet seen combat, but it could become a key battleground as Russia seeks to expand its control. Ukraine has denied reports of a new front opening up in the region, but it’s clear that tensions are running high.
