"It was a joint operation of SSU, DIU and SOF": three power substations and a fuel storage base hit in Russia overnight

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

The nighttime explosions in Russia were the result of a joint operation by the SSU, the DIU and the Armed Forces of Ukraine. OBOZ.UA learned about this from its own sources in the special services.

On the morning of April 20, the Russian occupiers from the so-called "Ministry of Defense" of the Russian Federation announced that they 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 Defense Ministry did not comment on the consequences of the attack, but according to OBOZ.UA's sources in the Ukrainian special services, at least three power substations and a fuel storage base were hit in Russia at night, where fires broke out.

According to the sources, it was a joint operation of the SSU, the DIU and the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The target of the attacks was the energy infrastructure that feeds the Russian military-industrial complex. The attacks caused problems with electricity and water supply in some areas.

"The SSU drones have once again proved their effectiveness and demonstrated the result: they have successfully defeated the infrastructure that ensures the smooth operation of military facilities in Russia," the source said.

According to the Russian edition of the vchkogpu, the Kardymovo oil depot in Smolensk region was on fire at night. It belongs to the Russian company Lukoil.
