The command of the Russian 36th Army imposed ammunition usage limits on its artillery units in June after the Ukrainian Armed Forces struck Russian ammunition depots in the temporarily occupied territories of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions.

This was reported by Vladyslav Voloshyn, spokesperson for the Southern Defense Forces, in a statement to Ukrinform.

“In connection with the strikes on ammunition depots in the temporarily occupied territories of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions, the command of the Russian 36th Army has imposed limits on the use of artillery ammunition by artillery units for June,” Voloshin noted.

He noted that this indicates that Ukrainian medium-range strikes and attacks on enemy logistics routes are achieving their objectives.

As reported by Ukrinform, this week the enemy army began attacking Zaporizhzhia with FPV drones. It is likely that during the current attacks, Russian troops are using LTE modems, which are difficult to jam.
