Ukrainian forces blew up a Russian ammunition depot in the Kharkiv region.

The video was released by the Office of Strategic Communications (StratCom) of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Tuesday July 26, along with a short statement saying: ‘In the Kharkiv region, another field ammunition store and personnel were destroyed.'

Ukrainian forces have had considerable success in recent weeks blowing up Russian ammunition depots in a strategy that is geared towards hobbling the invader's ammunition supply chains.

Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24 in what the Kremlin is calling a ‘special military operation'.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that between February 24 and July 26, Russia had lost about 39,870 personnel, 1,737 tanks, 3,959 armoured combat vehicles, 880 artillery units, 258 multiple launch rocket systems, 117 air defence systems, 222 warplanes, 189 helicopters, 722 drones, 174 cruise missiles, 15 warships, 2,835 motor vehicles and fuel tankers, and 75 units of special equipment.

Russia has claimed that its casualties have been much lower, but provides infrequent updates on its latest figures.

Ukraine has said that it hopes to begin exporting grain again via its ports in the coming days.

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has accused Russia of ‘barbarism' after the port of Odesa, on the Black Sea, was hit by a missile.

Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said that he expects both Ukraine and Russia to uphold the recently signed grain export agreement.
