UK Defence Intelligence has shared its conclusions on the aftermath of a Ukrainian strike on a Russian ammunition depot in Russiaʼs Voronezh Oblast on 7 July.

Details: The analysts reiterated that open sources reported a Ukrainian drone strike on a Russian weapons depot in Sergeevka, Voronezh Oblast, which led to the almost total destruction of everything inside.
UK Defence Intelligence calls it a significant loss for the Russian army, as the depot covered about 9 square kilometres.
Quote: "The depot was highly likely storing a mixture of surface-to-surface munitions as well as small arms to be used by personnel on the frontlines. This will further stretch Russia's already struggling logistics chains and force more dispersals due to the continued threat of Ukrainian strikes."
The analysts also noted that this once again indicates that Russia has problems covering important facilities even in areas with a significant air defence density, as this is an area within 80 kilometres from the border with Ukraine.
Quote: "Russia can ill afford such losses considering the attritional warfare strategy it has adopted, which shows little regard for the lives of its soldiers. This approach requires huge amounts of ammunition. Russia is now relying on its limited foreign partners for this supply due to its own defence industry struggling to meet the frontline demand."
Background: UK Defence intelligence has described the deployed forces of the National Guard of Russia in Ukraine and their main tasks, as well as the fact that Russia is increasingly using irregular military formations in offensive operations.
