Fighters from the 1st Corps of the National Guard of Ukraine’s ‘Azov’ unit have released figures on their combat operations against the enemy for August. Over the course of the month within the corps’ area of responsibility, Russian forces suffered 3,897 military personnel killed, 1,371 wounded, and a further 8 occupiers were taken prisoner. During this period, Ukrainian defenders destroyed or damaged 2 tanks, 7 armoured fighting vehicles, 86 artillery systems, 6 multiple launch rocket systems and 643 vehicles.
In addition, 3,461 attack and 192 reconnaissance aircraft-type UAVs, 1,921 attack and 314 reconnaissance helicopter-type UAVs, as well as 649 engineering and fortification structures and command posts, were neutralised.
Using electronic warfare assets, ‘Azov’ fighters additionally neutralised 1,356 aircraft-type attack UAVs and 9,638 copter-type attack UAVs.
Footage of the destruction of enemy targets in August was published by fighters of the 1st Corps of the National Guard of Ukraine "Azov" on their Telegram channel.
Recently, Ukraine’s 1st Azov Corps of the National Guard carried out a second major drone operation against Russian fuel infrastructure and military logistics in the occupied part of the Donetsk region, the unit reported on August 17.
The operation, dubbed “Hell-2,” followed an earlier series of strikes against supply routes, fuel depots, and logistics facilities used by Russian forces. According to Azov, the latest attack completely destroyed facilities involved in storing and supplying fuel to Russian troops.
The corps released footage of the strikes, showing attack drones hitting fuel storage sites across the temporarily occupied Donetsk region.
“A month ago, we warned the occupier: Azov sees its movements and will strike at the right moment. But some units of the Russian Armed Forces continued storing fuel in the temporarily occupied Donetsk region. The burning dots on the map mark facilities involved in storing and supplying fuel to the Russians. A month later, those dots remain only on the maps—in reality, there is now scorched earth there,” the unit said.
