Agents of the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine’s Defense Ministry carried out a sabotage operation in the city of Königsberg (Kaliningrad). As a result of the attack, key Russian military-industrial and army facilities were cut off from power.
This was reported by RBC-Ukraine, citing intelligence sources.
According to RBC-Ukraine’s sources in Ukrainian intelligence, around 4:00 a.m. on June 14, an attack targeted an industrial power substation in the city of Königsberg.
The strike completely disrupted the electricity supply to local consumers, including facilities of Russia’s military-industrial complex and armed forces located in the operation area. The estimated damage to Russia from the sabotage amounts to nearly $5 million.
Sources note that HUR agents drained the coolant from the substation’s power transformer and then set the facility on fire. The blaze caused significant damage and led to a power outage at nearby enemy military-industrial sites.
"We once again remind that Russia no longer has a rear — neither in the east, nor in the west, nor in any point of the planet. Everything Russian involved in the war against Ukraine will burn, sink, and be destroyed regardless of its level of protection or location," a Defense Intelligence source emphasized.

As a reminder, Kaliningrad is a Russian city that serves as the administrative center of Kaliningrad region. This region does not border mainland Russia and is surrounded by NATO countries—Poland and Lithuania. To the north and west, the region is bordered by the Baltic Sea.
In April 2024, a Russian missile ship, the Serpukhov, caught fire in the Kaliningrad region. The missile carrier ignited at the naval base in Baltiysk.
