The operation began near the village of Oleksiyivka in the Bilmatsky district, where the 13th Main Directorate of the SBU’s Military Counterintelligence sabotaged the railway tracks.
The strike derailed a train carrying 40 tank cars of fuel. As some tanks caught fire, HIMARS missile systems from the "Tavria" operational-strategic group launched precision strikes, destroying the locomotive and critical railcars, ensuring the fuel could not be salvaged.
