MOSCOW, August 30. /TASS/. Russian forces delivered a strike by Iskander tactical missiles, destroying the Ukrainian army’s railway cars with ammunition at an unloading station in the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) over the past day in the special military operation in Ukraine, Russia’s Battlegroup East Spokesman Oleg Chekhov reported on Wednesday.

Russian attack drones destroyed two pickup trucks with Ukrainian militants near the Oktyabr state farm and the settlement of Levadnoye, the spokesman said.

"A Lancet loitering munition eliminated an Akatsiya artillery system near the settlement of Novosyolka," the spokesman said.

In addition, Russian combat aircraft struck amassed Ukrainian manpower and military hardware near the settlements of Staromayorskoye and Urozhainoye and north of Nikolskoye while the teams of Osa air defense systems shot down a Ukrainian Leleka unmanned aircraft system, he said.
