HIMARS effect: Russian ammo depot vanished after Ukrainian strike PHOTO

This composite satellite image from Planet Labs PBC shows the aftermath of a Ukrainian strike on an apparent Russian ammunition depot in Nova Kakhovka, Kherson region.

Ukrainian authorities said on July 12 that their forces targeted the Russian ammunition depot in southern Ukraine overnight, resulting in a massive explosion captured on social media, per Sky News. 

There was considerable speculation that the attack had involved the US-supplied HIMARS rocket launcher, which the Ukrainians have said on social media is increasingly being used against Russian forces.
