This is a significant loss for the Russian army, since the warehouse occupied about 9 square kilometers, — noted in the intelligence note.
— This warehouse was very likely a storage site for surface-to-surface ammunition, as well as small arms for use at the front. This will further complicate Russia's already problematic supply chains and will encourage further dispersal of such facilities due to the constant threat of Ukrainian strikes, — noted in the review.
Analysts also noted that this once again indicates that Russia has problems covering important installations even in areas with significant air defense density, since this is an area within 80 km of the border with Ukraine.

— Russia cannot safely afford such losses, given its chosen strategy of war of attrition… This approach requires huge amounts of ammunition. Russia now relies on its few foreign partners for supplies as its own defense industry struggles to meet demands at the front — scouts note.
Recall that British intelligence previously reported that Russia has recently begun to deliberately launch missile attacks on Ukrainian airfields, fearing the future arrival of F-16 fighters.
Intelligence also recalled that a series of coordinated Ukrainian attacks on targets in Crimea led to the destruction of critical elements of the Russian S-300 and S-400 surface-to-air missile systems.
