Yesterday, on Oct. 28, a local administration building burned down in Megion, a town in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug of Russia. At least five police cars were also set on fire, according to RBC-Ukraine sources in the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine (DIU).
During the DIU operation, the executors poured napalm into the broken windows on the first floor of the town hall, after which it was set on fire.
The FSB hotline received a bomb threat to the building. While the security services were trying to find out if there were explosives in the building, firefighters were waiting for permission to start working. In the meantime, the fire spread rapidly, destroying the bureau, the deputy mayor's office, and several other rooms.
While all the attention and resources of Megion's special and rescue services were focused on extinguishing the fire in the town hall, napalm had already been spilled on police cars in the guarded parking lot. At least five local police vehicles were destroyed in this second fire.
DIU operations
Since the beginning of the full-scale war, the DIU has been conducting operations in Russia aimed at destabilizing the military and political structures of the country.
Ukrainian intelligence is actively working in hybrid warfare, using reconnaissance, sabotage, and information operations, often with the help of drones, cyberattacks, explosions in strategic locations, as well as attacks on logistics centers, oil tanks, railways, and air bases.
RBC-Ukraine has reported on the most significant operations conducted by Ukraine's intelligence. In the current year alone, the agency managed to damage or destroy Russian oil refineries, air bases, military-industrial complex facilities, and war criminals.
