Last night, the Security Service of Ukraine's drones were active in the Lipetsk and Belgorod regions of the Russian Federation. The attack resulted in a fire at the Oskolneftosnabzhenie oil tank farm near the town of Stary Oskol and at the 500 kV Yelets substation, according to RBC-Ukraine sources.
Russians complained in local publics all night about a series of loud explosions near an oil depot in the Belgorod region. And the governor of the Lipetsk region confirmed a fire at the Eletskaya power substation, which powers Russian Railways traction substations, the Stanova oil pumping station, and ensures transit between the Lipetsk, Orel, and Bryansk power systems.
"Russian industry working for the war against Ukraine will remain a legitimate target for the SBU. Measures to undermine the enemy's military potential will continue," the source says.
