Drones hit three electrical substations and a fuel storage base in Russia.

On the night of April 20, explosions were heard in eight regions of the Russian Federation. At least three electrical substations supplying the Russian military-industrial complex and a fuel storage base were hit.

The night “bavovna” in Russia is the result of a joint operation by the SSU, the Defense Intelligence and Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. OBOZ.UA learned about this from its own sources in the intelligence services.

The Russian Ministry of Defense announced on the morning of April 20 that it had repelled a drone attack over a number of Russian regions. 50 drones, Russia assured, were allegedly shot down over eight regions of the Russian Federation: Belgorod, Bryansk, Kursk, Tula, Smolensk, Ryazan, Kaluga and Moscow regions.

The Russian Ministry of Defense did not talk about the consequences of the attack, at the same time, according to OBOZ.UA sources in the Ukrainian special services, at least three electrical substations and a fuel storage base were hit in Russia at night, and fires broke out there.

According to sources, this was a joint operation of the SSU, the Defense Intelligence and Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The target for the strikes was the energy infrastructure that powers the Russian military-industrial complex. After the attacks, some areas experienced problems with electricity and water supply.

“The SSU drones have once again proven their effectiveness and demonstrated results — they have successfully worked on the infrastructure that ensures the uninterrupted operation of military facilities in Russia,” the source noted.

According to the Russian publication VChK-OGPU, the Kardymovo oil depot in the Smolensk region burned at night: it belongs to the Russian company Lukoil.
