Watch Ukrainian drones hit gas storage site deep in Crimea. Same operation took out radars, tankers, and Russian command post

Ukraine has struck the Hlibivske underground gas storage facility on Crimea's Tarkhankut Peninsula, Unmanned Systems Forces (SBS) Commander Robert "Madiar" Brovdi says.

The Hlibivske facility regulates seasonal and daily gas consumption on the Crimean peninsula and supports pressure in the peninsula's gas transport system.

The Hlibivske strike extends Ukraine's ongoing campaign to degrade Russian logistics and energy infrastructure in occupied Crimea, with Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov saying earlier this week that Ukraine's drones are turning the peninsula into "an island" through systematic strikes on supply routes and infrastructure.

Additional targets included radar stations, armored transporter-tractors, fuel logistics, and command posts of named Russian military units.

Tarkhankut strikes degrade Crimea's gas distribution and radar infrastructure

The Hlibivske underground gas storage facility in Dozorne is one of the key gas infrastructure nodes on the Crimean peninsula. Its associated research center in Vnukove was hit in the same operation.

Both sites sit on the Tarkhankut Peninsula in western Crimea, where Ukrainian drone forces hit the Valday anti-drone radar system in Chornomorske in December 2025 as part of an ongoing campaign against Russian air defense and surveillance assets. The strike also hit a Russian Repeynik radar station in Kamianske and a locomotive in Rozdolne, continuing the systematic degradation of Russian radar and rail capabilities in occupied Crimea.

Multi-oblast strikes hit named Russian unit command post 

The mainland strikes spanned the Donetsk, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhia oblasts. SBS drone forces struck a P-18 "Terek" enemy radar station in Novovasylivka, Zaporizhzhia Oblast and several ZU-23 lightly armored multipurpose transporter-tractors of the Russian army in Smolianynove and Tarasivka in occupied Luhansk Oblast. Russian fuel tankers across all three eastern oblasts, a fuel and lubricants tank in Briyanka, Luhansk Oblast, and Russian logistics transport in Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia Oblasts were also targeted.

The named unit target was a command-observation post of a sub-unit of the 656th motorized rifle regiment of Russia's 29th Guards Combined Arms Army in Velyka Novosilka, Donetsk Oblast. 

Crimea isolation campaign accelerates under Logistics Lockdown

The campaign operates under the Logistics Lockdown framework, which Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov launched on 27 May 2026 with $113 million in additional procurement funding for middle-strike drones. Between 7 and 13 June, Ukrainian drones hit the Chonhar bridge, the Henichesk-Arabat Spit crossing, four bridges near Armiansk, and the Dzhankoi checkpoint as part of the campaign.
