Ukrainian Forces showcased dramatic footage of a massive fiery explosion caused by the destruction of russian ammunition depot in Kharkiv region. The video, published on August 27 by the 10th Army Corps, revealed the scale of the detonation, with a huge fireball rising into the sky.
The strike took place in the Kupiansk direction, one of the most active sectors of the front. Reconnaissance units detected a well-camouflaged field ammunition storage site belonging to the enemy. Once identified, Ukrainian forces swiftly executed a strike that turned the depot into a blazing inferno.

The precision attack was carried out with a single FPV drone, a relatively low-cost but highly effective weapon in Ukraine's growing arsenal of unmanned aerial systems. Despite the modest size of the platform, the strike triggered secondary detonations that signaled the destruction of a substantial cache of enemy munitions.
The operation was conducted through close coordination between the 10th Army Corps and the 77th Separate Airmobile Brigade. The aerial reconnaissance teams provided real-time intelligence and targeting data, ensuring that the drone operator delivered a pinpoint strike. Ukrainian officials emphasized that this kind of synergy between reconnaissance and strike units exemplifies the modern combat capabilities.
The resulting explosion was not only a tactical success but also a symbolic one. The enormous fireball, captured on video, spread quickly across social media, serving as a stark reminder of Ukraine's ability to strike deep into russian logistics networks even under conditions of intense fighting.
As Defense Express previously reported, special operations units of Ukraine's Defense Intelligence continue to demonstrate relentless pressure on russian forces, conducting precision strikes across multiple sectors of the front line. Their mission is clear – to eliminate enemy manpower, destroy military hardware, and dismantle fortified positions wherever possible.
