On the night of Tuesday, October 17, the Ukrainian Defense Forces launched powerful attacks on the bases of Russian troops within the temporarily occupied Luhansk and Berdiansk. Enemy helicopters and equipment at the seized airfields were hit.

This was reported by the Telegram channel of the Center for Strategic Communications. A video of one of the "clashes" was posted online (to view it, scroll down to the end).

"On the night of October 17, the Armed Forces of Ukraine successfully attacked helicopters and equipment of Russian airfields near the temporarily occupied Luhansk and Berdiansk," the statement reads.

The mayor of the temporarily occupied Melitopol in Zaporizhzhia Ivan Fedorov said that half the night on Tuesday, the city's residents listened to the wonderful "tracks" of air defense's work, arrivals and detonations of ammunition near Berdiansk.

"We are waiting for the Ukrainian Armed Forces to give a similar concert in Melitopol," he commented.

A video of a noisy night near Berdiansk in Zaporizhzhia region has been posted online. The man who filmed it spoke obscenely about the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but confirmed that they had hit the occupiers' ammunition.

"Waiting for news from occupied Berdiansk! The Rashi*ts seem to have missed it," the commentary to the vivid footage reads.

There are no other details about the destruction of these enemy targets in Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia.
