Ukrainian military intelligence (HUR) announced on Saturday that it destroyed a Su-30 multirole aircraft at a military airfield in Krasnodar Krai, Russia. The military services emphasised that this is part of the diversionary activities conducted by Ukraine on enemy territory.

The day before the destruction of the Su-30, HUR conducted an operation that resulted in the burning of three locomotives in the city of Krasnodar. Ukrainian intelligence noted that the destroyed railway infrastructure was used by Russia in its invasion of Ukraine.

On Friday night into Saturday, there was also a fire at an oil depot in the Oryol region, which resulted from a Ukrainian army drone attack. The general staff of the Ukrainian armed forces highlighted that the attacked facility is one of Russia's largest oil storage sites, crucial for the Russian military-industrial complex.

Earlier, Ukrainian intelligence reported the death of a Russian, who was a designer of missiles and drones used by Russia to attack Ukraine. Mikhail Shatski, deputy chief designer of the Mars Design Bureau, was killed in Moscow. Ukrainian media indicated that it was an assassination.

The destruction of the Su-30 aircraft and the attacks on railway infrastructure and oil depots are elements of a broader Ukrainian strategy. Ukrainian intelligence emphasises that these actions aim to weaken Russian military and industrial infrastructure. This task is significant in the context of the ongoing conflict.

According to information provided by HUR, these attacks are aimed not only at directly weakening Russian military capabilities but also at disrupting logistics and supplies to the Russian army.
