The Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine successfully hit the enemy control center located on the ship.
The video of the strike was published by the Air Force Commander Mykola Oleschuk. The military also thanked the pilots for successful combat work against the enemy control point.
According to media reports and experts, the Armed Forces managed to hit the tanker “Mechanic Pogodyn”, located on the left bank of the Kherson Region.
Back in 2018, Ukrainian law enforcement officers blocked this Russian vessel in the port of Kherson. After the occupation of Kherson in 2022, the Russians tried to withdraw the sanctioned tanker, but were unable to do so and ran aground.
As “Militarnyi” notes, since that time the ship was located near the village of Vynogradne and after the deoccupation of the right-bank Kherson region, it fell into the so-called “gray zone” between the forces of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and the occupying forces of the Russian Federation.
“It is quite likely that the vessel was used by Russian units on the left bank as a fortified facility for the placement of electronic reconnaissance and surveillance equipment,” Militarny writes.
