Ukraine has confirmed carrying out long-range strikes against Russian targets, including an oil refinery and an Ozon online retailer warehouse in the Samara region, and an oil complex in Krasnodar. The Ukrainian military also reported destroying a Russian Su-24M bomber in an earlier attack on the Saki military airport in Crimea.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also mentioned Ukrainian attacks in the Black Sea, without providing specific details. He announced the destruction of the Su-24M bomber during a Ukrainian strike on the Saki military airport on the occupied Crimean peninsula. Explosions were reported near the airport on August 20.

In the Bryansk region, signal repeaters that guide the drones used by the invaders to attack peaceful Ukrainian cities and towns have been eliminated.

Additionally, Ukrainian forces reportedly "eliminated signal repeaters" in the Bryansk region, which guided Russian drones used to attack Ukrainian cities. Zelenskyy expressed gratitude to those who are helping to deprive Russia of a "strategic rear."

The full impact of these attacks is currently being assessed. Reports indicate the targeted port has an annual cargo capacity of approximately 6.8 million tons and is involved in supplying the Russian military.
