Ukrainian forces carried out a series of strikes against russian military targets overnight on August 13, targeting facilities involved in air surveillance, drone operations, logistics, ammunition storage, and troop deployment, Ukraine's General Staff reported.
One of the key targets was russian Nebo-U radar station in Sevastopol, temporarily occupied Crimea. The strike targeted a long-range, three-coordinate radar designed to detect and track aerial targets, including aircraft, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles.

Nebo-U system operates in the meter-wave frequency range and is intended to provide russian forces with a broader picture of the airspace around its deployment area. Its loss could therefore reduce russia's ability to monitor aerial activity and detect incoming targets in time.
Ukrainian forces also struck a UAV command post near Myrne in Zaporizhzhia region. Such facilities are used to coordinate unmanned systems, making them an important component of russia's reconnaissance and strike capabilities on the battlefield.
Another strike hit a fuel and lubricants depot near Dovzhansk in Luhansk region. Disrupting fuel storage can directly affect russia's ability to supply and operate vehicles and other military equipment near the front.
The Ukrainian military also reported strikes on an ammunition depot near Novyi Hai in Zaporizhzhia region and a materiel depot near Kalanchak in Kherson region. Both types of facilities support russian forces by storing supplies needed for sustained combat operations.
In addition, Ukrainian forces struck a concentration of russian personnel near Butyrky in russia's Belgorod region. The target set therefore extended beyond frontline positions, affecting several elements of russia's military infrastructure and support network.
