When the train stopped, soldiers of the 14th Separate Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Regiment of the Unmanned Systems Forces began to strike with attack drones, which led to the fire in the tanks.
Thanks to aerial reconnaissance by Ukraine's Defense Intelligence and coordination with the Tavria operational-strategic group, HIMARS missiles targeted the locomotive and outer cars, preventing the occupiers from salvaging any of the fuel.
Finally, the Ukraine's Defense Intelligence specialists finished off the train with attack drones.
As a result of the special operation, a locomotive and 40 tank cars were destroyed, and an important railroad line supplying russian troops was rendered inoperable for an extended period.
