The Special Operations Forces have struck another blow against russia's military logistics in temporarily occupied Crimea. On the night of August 21, operators of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine carried out a mission near the railway station in Dzhankoi.
During the operation, Ukrainian fighters successfully targeted russian rolling stock carrying fuel. These supplies are critical for maintaining russian forces in the southern theater of operations, making the strike a significant disruption to enemy logistics.

The Special Operations Forces emphasized that the attack was part of ongoing systematic efforts to weaken the war machine by striking its vulnerable supply chains. In this case, destroying fuel reserves undermines the occupiers' mobility and operational capacity.
Dzhankoi is a key logistics hub in northern Crimea, linking supply lines from russia to occupied parts of southern Ukraine. By striking trains in this area, Ukrainian forces directly challenge russia's ability to sustain its grouping of troops in the south.
The damage to fuel stocks complicates the supply of russian armored vehicles, trucks, and artillery systems. Without a steady flow of fuel, Moscow's capacity to maneuver and reinforce its units in the Zaporizhzhia and Kherson directions is significantly reduced.
This operation underscores the strategic importance of Ukraine's Special Operations Forces. Their ability to carry out precise missions deep in temporarily occupied territory highlights both professionalism and the continued vulnerability of russian rear areas.
