The destruction of ammunition depots near the temporarily occupied Mariupol will complicate the provision of Russian units on the combat contact line.
This was stated on the air of the telethon by the spokesman for the Ukrainian Navy, Captain 3rd Rank Dmitry Pletenchuk.

And of course, such actions greatly complicate the rear support of the units that are directly conducting combat operations on the contact line. In this case - in the south of our country.

According to him, this cannot be called something extremely new and recalled the destruction of a warehouse with foreign-made kamikaze drones in the Russian city of Yeysk.
"This is even further away (than Mariupol). Therefore, we can say that this is another successful case with the use of... It must be understood that any such operations are extremely complex in planning and no less
