Fresh satellite images have emerged showing the aftermath of the destruction of the Russian Shahed drones depot near Yeysk.
Radio Svoboda, which published the photos, said they had been taken on October 11 by the Planet Labs satellite.
The photos show the aftermath of a Ukrainian drone attack on depots in Krasnodar Krai of the Russian Federation.
The satellite recorded damage to the warehouse buildings, including the destruction of the roof of one of them, and traces of fire.
On October 9, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine announced that they had attacked the depots near Yeysk with the forces and means of the Ukrainian Navy and the Security Service of Ukraine.
The target is the depots in the village of Oktyabrskoye, which, according to the General Staff, were used to store Shahed attack drones.
“According to the available information, about 400 attack drones were stored there. According to the results of objective control, an accurate hit on the target was recorded. A secondary detonation was observed on the territory of the facility,” the General Staff said.
On October 9, Russian media reported explosions in the Oktyabrsky district near Yeysk after a UAV attack.
Later, videos of the explosions and fire appeared online.
The local authorities did not comment on the consequences of the strike, but said that “the drone attack was successfully repelled.”
It is possible that the Ukrainian R-360 Neptune cruise missiles, which are in service with the Ukrainian Navy, were used in the attack.
Back in April of this year, a representative of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry said that designers had been working on modifying the Neptune anti-ship missile to hit the ground targets. As part of the project, the adapted missile was to receive a new guidance system, which had not yet been developed at the start of the invasion.
