In March 2026, the Ukrainian Defense Forces destroyed a storage facility containing surface-to-air missiles near the Russian-occupied town of Dovzhansk in the Luhansk region.

The facility is located at coordinates 48.101990, 39.670564, approximately 150 kilometers from the current line of contact.

Militarnyi previously reported that, during Operation Vivaldi, Ukraine’s 3rd Army Corps destroyed a pipeline that supplied 50% of Russian forces’ diesel fuel needs in the Luhansk region.

The destruction of the pipeline triggered a logistical crisis for the entire Russian West military grouping.

Russian fuel tankers are now forced to travel a 400-kilometer route to Russia to replenish their fuel supplies.
