Ukrainian Military Strikes
In the early hours of February 13, 2026, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) launched coordinated strikes against targets in Russian-occupied territories and within Russia itself. These attacks successfully hit several critical military installations, including a radar station and command posts for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). This operation demonstrates Ukraine's growing capability to project force deep into enemy-held areas.
Primary Targets of the Attacks
- A 55Zh6U 'Nebo-U' radar station located near Yevpatoria.
- UAV operator deployment points in the towns of Mykhailivka and Tokmak, within the Zaporizhzhia region.
- Areas of troop concentration in Solodkovodne and Liubymivka.
- A material and technical support (MTS) storage depot in Selydove.
- An area of military equipment concentration in Komyshuvakha.
Furthermore, on the night of February 12, Ukrainian forces struck an arsenal belonging to Russia's Main Missile and Artillery Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, situated in the Kotluban settlement area of Volgograd Oblast. The attack was carried out using Ukrainian-made FP-5 'Flamingo' long-range missiles.
These strikes form part of ongoing military operations aimed at degrading the enemy's combat potential and enhancing Ukraine's security.
The executed strikes indicate an intensification of military action by Ukraine, which could significantly influence the conflict's trajectory.
The Ukrainian government likely aims to demonstrate its ability to hit strategically vital enemy targets, thereby boosting the morale of its troops and citizens. This development may also compel Russia to reassess its tactics and strategy in the region, as Ukrainian forces continue to focus on eroding the adversary's military capacity.
