The Defense Forces of Ukraine struck Russian air defense systems, command and observation posts, and areas of enemy troop concentration.

This was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

On the night of March 9, Ukrainian units struck Russian air defense assets — a radar station of the S-300 air defense system near Spokiine, as well as a Buk-M3 surface-to-air missile system near Lymanchuk.

In addition, Ukrainian soldiers carried out a series of strikes against command and observation posts of Russian units.

“In particular, the command and observation post of a unit belonging to Rubikon was hit near the city of Donetsk, as well as enemy command and observation posts in the areas of Zaporizke, Chervonoselivka, Hoholivka in Zaporizhzhia region and Zachativka in Donetsk region”, — the statement said.

Enemy troop concentration areas were also struck near Rodynske and Poltavka in Donetsk region, as well as Petropavlivka in Kharkiv region.

“The extent of the damage inflicted and other results are being clarified. The systematic destruction of air defense assets, command posts, and enemy troop concentration areas weakens the enemy’s ability to command troops and conduct combat operations”, — the General Staff added.
