Ukraine’s military intelligence says it carried out a successful behind-the-lines raid in the Kharkiv region, destroying a Russian ammunition depot.
A special unit of Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence (GUR), the Freedom of Russia Legion, blew up a Russian occupiers’ ammunition depot in the Kharkiv region. The operation took place in December 2025 but has only now been disclosed.
Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence published footage of the raid on February 1.
According to GUR, the unit infiltrated a Russian Armed Forces position known as “Izba” in the Kupyansk district, pushing roughly 7 kilometers into occupied territory. They located a field ammunition depot and destroyed it along with its security personnel, GUR said.
GUR said the destroyed site was “key” to supplying and rotating Russian units around Kupyansk and directly supported their tactical resilience. The strike dealt a significant blow to the enemy and complicated the maintenance of its combat capability on that sector of the front, the agency added.
“Freedom of Russia Legion sabotage-reconnaissance groups are steadily ramping up operations deep in the enemy’s rear - from pinpoint strikes to systemic pressure on logistics, command, and sustainment elements,” GUR said.
Intelligence officials also noted that earlier the legion disabled a logistics route in the Zaporizhzhia sector used to deliver metal to occupied Crimea.
