Fresh Strikes by Ukraine’s Military
On the night of 4 August 2026, Ukrainian defenders carried out coordinated strikes against several strategic targets, including a temporary base used by an FSB unit in Shchaslyvtseve, Kherson Oblast. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said the operations were aimed at halting Russia’s armed aggression, and the information was shared via Telegram.
During the same night, Ukrainian troops hit two bridges that Moscow had been using to move military supplies:
- A road bridge over the Seym River near Zvane in Russia’s Kursk Oblast.
- A railway bridge over the Molochna River close to Svitlodolynske in Zaporizhzhia Oblast.
Both crossings were critical to the enemy’s military logistics.
Additional targets included Russian repair units in Vovchanske, Zaporizhzhia Oblast, and Vilne, Donetsk Oblast. In occupied Crimea’s Olenivka, Ukrainian forces hit a communications and power hub for a relay station used by Geran/Gerbera strike drones. Another strike in Artemivka, Crimea, destroyed a tower equipped with electronic warfare systems, while in Bakhmut, Donetsk Oblast, the target was a command post and communication node.
Casualties in Shchaslyvtseve are still being assessed. The General Staff emphasized that Ukraine’s Defense Forces will continue systematically taking action to end Russia’s armed aggression. The report was also picked up by the outlet ‘Khvylia’.
Why These Strikes Matter
The attacks highlight a renewed push by Ukrainian forces in the war against Russia and their focus on destroying key enemy infrastructure. Targeting bridges and military facilities could seriously hamper Russian supply lines and shape the course of future operations. They also reflect growing confidence among Ukrainian troops as they counter Moscow’s invasion.
The recent strikes are part of a broader strategy by Ukraine’s military to target critical infrastructure that supports Russian operations. This follows earlier attacks, such as the one on July 26, where the Armed Forces targeted key facilities in Crimea, including strategic energy assets. Such coordinated efforts are essential for disrupting enemy supply lines and maintaining pressure on Russian forces.
