The port of Mariupol was put out of action after a joint operation by the Azov National Guard, the SBU, the CSO A and the SSU. Key infrastructure facilities were destroyed, which significantly limits the possibility of using it for Russian military transport.
- Power substations and radar equipment in the port of Mariupol were destroyed.
- Repair facilities and the control tower were damaged.
- The strike made it difficult for the port to be used for Russian military logistics.
- The cargo ship Lady Augusta, linked to the Russian «shadow fleet», is damaged.
Large-scale attack on the port of Mariupol
During a joint operation by the Azov National Guard, the Security Service of Ukraine, the Central Special Directorate «A» and the Special Operations Security Forces, a critical infrastructure of the Mariupol seaport was attacked. The attack destroyed power substations, radar equipment, repair facilities, a control tower and fuel tanks. The port is completely without power.
Impact on Russia's military logistics
Damage to infrastructure facilities has significantly hampered the port's use for Russian military logistics. Of particular importance is the failure of the control tower that controlled ship traffic and the fuel tanks that ensured the port's continuity of operation. The damage to these facilities limits the Russian military's ability to supply through Mariupol.
Damage to the vessel «Lady Augusta»
The attack also damaged the bulk carrier Lady Augusta, which is linked to the «shadow fleet» of the Russian Federation. This indicates the deliberate destruction of both port infrastructure and the means of military transport.
Strategic importance of the transaction
The disabling of the port of Mariupol is of strategic importance for Ukraine's defence, as it limits Russia's operational capabilities in the region. It also demonstrates the coordinated work of various units of the security and defence forces in conducting effective special operations aimed at destroying key enemy targets.
