The Ukrainian army targeted a Russian ammunition depot in the seized settlement of Sorokyne, Luhansk Oblast.

Quote from Lysohor: "A munitions warehouse exploded in the occupied Sorokyne (Krasnodon). This is the third emergency in the rear of the Russian forces in Luhansk Oblast this week.

Their military might manage some time without fuel supplies, but the ammunition, which burned very brightly in Sorokyne today, is used up by the enemy quite quickly.

It will take much time to accumulate it somewhere other than the front lines.

The invaders believed that this warehouse was reliable because it was positioned near the Russian Federation's border, about 130 kilometres from the line of contact. But the explosion took place even there.

The Russian military in this area now has a restricted supply of ammunition, which will likely have an impact on their offensive activities."

INTELLIGENCE UPDATE
UPDATE ON UKRAINE 13 May 2024

Since the start of 2024, Russia has highly likely increased its use of light vehicles, such as all-terrain vehicles and off-road motorbikes to transport personnel to the frontlines, and conduct attacks on Ukrainian positions, particularly at night.

In November 2023, Russian President Vladimir Putin personally inspected newly acquired Chinese Desertcross 1000-3 all-terrain vehicles from Odes Industries. Russia has reportedly purchased over 2,100 of these vehicles.

It is likely that Russian forces have increasingly resorted to the use of lighter, faster vehicles to conduct reconnaissance of Ukrainian defensive positions, to allow for subsequent engagement using artillery, first-person view (FPV) or one-way attack OWA drones in an effort to consistently degrade Ukrainian forces.

However, in sacrificing armour and firepower for increased mobility, light vehicles are far more vulnerable than their armoured counterparts to an array of weapon systems. Ukrainian FPV drones have already demonstrated their ability to effectively target such light vehicles.
