General Staff of Ukraine’s armed forces explains explosions in Dzhankoi, occupied Crimea

The explosions that rang out on March 20 in the town of Dzhankoi in the north of the temporarily occupied Crimea and damaged the railway tracks were intended to wholly or partially stop the logistical support of the enemy groups in the temporarily captured Melitopol and Kherson.

The head of the Main Department of Combat Strike Systems of the General Staff of the Armed Forces, Colonel Serhiy Baranov, announced this during the briefing "Transformation of Missile Forces and Artillery of the Armed Forces of Ukraine."

" Dzhankoi is one of the junctions that is the branch of the logistics route, which, for example, is going to Melitopol or Kherson. Therefore, one of the reasons for inflicting such damage was precisely either a complete stop or an obstacle to the logistical support of those enemy groups that are on our territory,' Baranov said, answering the question of whether the explosions in Dzhankoi caused damage to the enemy's supply of ammunition to the temporarily occupied Crimea and other territories of Ukraine.
