RBC-Ukraine previously reported that HUR special forces struck a Bastion missile system in Crimea, which Russia uses to launch ballistic missile attacks against Ukraine.
It was also reported that Ukraine’s Defense Forces and intelligence special forces successfully struck the Novatek-Ust-Luga oil refinery complex in Russia’s Leningrad region on September 1.
In addition, the HUR has evidence that one of Russia’s largest oil refineries in the Nizhny Novgorod region halted operations following a successful strike.
