Drones of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) have recently attacked the Tambov, Saratov, and Belgorod regions of Russia. Gas compressor stations and a warehouse of missiles for S-300/S-400 were hit, according to sources in the SBU.

Tambov and Saratov regions

Long-range drones hit two gas compressor stations - Davydovskaya in the Tambov region and Novopetrovskaya in the Saratov region.

Video footage shows UAVs hitting industrial equipment at the stations and powerful explosions.

Belgorod region

Drones attacked a field depot of missiles for S-300/S-400 systems near the village of Radkovka, Belgorod region.

The hit caused the active detonation of ammunition.

“The SBU conducted another successful special operation in the enemy's territory, which caused significant damage to the Russian budget, reduced the ability to finance the war against Ukraine and the military potential of the Russian army,” the source said.

Strikes on Russian territory

During a full-scale war, Ukraine hit strategic targets in Russia, including oil refineries, ammunition depots, and more. The attacks, mostly carried out by drones, are aimed at weakening the Russian military machine, making it harder to supply the frontline with fuel and ammunition, and creating tension within Russia.

Recently, Ukrainian drones attacked a Moscow refinery.
