New satellite images taken over a 10-day period have revealed significant damage to bridges, roads and oil storage facilities in Crimea and parts of Russia as Ukraine expands its long-range strike campaign.
The images show destruction to key infrastructure believed to support Russian military logistics, highlighting Kyiv’s efforts to disrupt supply routes used to sustain operations on the front lines.
Among the damaged sites are transportation links and fuel storage facilities in Russian-controlled Crimea and other areas inside Russia. The strikes are part of Ukraine’s broader strategy to weaken Russia’s military capabilities by targeting critical infrastructure far from the battlefield.
Ukrainian officials have increasingly focused on long-range drone and missile attacks aimed at military installations, ammunition depots, oil facilities and transport networks, arguing that such targets are essential to Russia’s war effort.
The latest satellite imagery underscores the growing reach and effectiveness of Ukraine’s deep-strike operations, which have intensified in recent weeks despite Russia’s continued aerial bombardment of Ukrainian cities.
Russian authorities have acknowledged some attacks on energy and transport infrastructure but have not provided a comprehensive assessment of the damage. Meanwhile, military analysts say the strikes could complicate Russia’s logistics and increase pressure on its supply chain as the conflict continues.
The war, now in its fifth year, has seen both sides increasingly rely on long-range weapons to target strategic infrastructure beyond the front lines.
