Ukrainian Forces Strike Russian Command Posts in Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia Regions

Ukrainian Strikes on Occupied Territories

According to ХВИЛЯ: On the night of February 2, 2026, the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) conducted strikes against targets in the occupied territories of Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia oblasts. According to the General Staff of the UAF, the primary targets were enemy infrastructure facilities in the Kurakhivka district of Donetsk Oblast. These operations are part of Ukraine's ongoing campaign to degrade Russian military capabilities deep behind the front lines.

During the operation, two command posts at the regimental and divisional levels, along with an ammunition depot, were hit. Strikes were also carried out against unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) control points located near Uspenivka and Huliaipole in Zaporizhzhia Oblast. Intelligence units are currently assessing the enemy's losses in personnel and equipment.

Systematic Actions by the UAF

The military command emphasized that the defense forces are systematically undermining the offensive potential of the Russian occupiers with the goal of halting the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine. This operation is part of the UAF's efforts to protect Ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty. The conflict, now in its fourth year, has seen Ukraine increasingly target Russian command and logistics networks.

These strikes reflect the continuation of active Ukrainian military actions aimed at reducing the enemy's military potential in the occupied territories. Within the context of the ongoing armed conflict, such activity can significantly impact the strategic balance of power in the region, as well as the morale of Russian Federation troops. The situation remains tense, and the UAF's subsequent actions may shape the course of the war in the near term.
