The Centre for Strategic Communications reported on this. The artillery strike was carried out around 2:30 p.m. The depot was located on the banks of the Luhanka River, near the Myronivske Reservoir.

Based on the distinctive explosion of the ammunition and the fragment dispersion, it is possible that an M142 HIMARS rocket system could be responsible for the damage.

After the precision strike, the area caught fire, which could have been caused by the striking elements. Militarnyi previously reported that 2S19 Msta-S, 2S5 Giatsint-S self-propelled howitzers, and BM-21 Grad multiple rocket launchers were hit by M142 HIMARS rocket system in the Kharkiv and Donetsk regions.

In addition, an illumination and guidance radar of the Buk-M3 missile system was destroyed. Additionally, based on the unique interface observed, it appears that the rocket artillery was adjusted using a Shark drone.

As previously reported, the Come Back Alive Foundation, in cooperation with the OKKO gas station network, purchased 22 of 25 Shark systems as part of the "EYE FOR AN EYE" project.

Each system consists of two drones, so 44 Shark UASs are operating on the front line as part of the initiative.

The charity project of the OKKO gas station network and the Come Back Alive Foundation was launched on November 1, 2022.
