Quote from the source: "Long-range drones operated by the SSU's Alpha Special Operations Centre successfully struck two enemy targets deep in the rear of the Russian Federation."

Details: In particular, the drones reached Arsenal No. 100 of the Main Missile and Artillery Directorate in the Neysky District of Kostroma Oblast. Ammunition detonated there throughout the night, and local authorities began evacuating residents from nearby settlements.

"This was an important arsenal for the enemy, as it supplied ammunition to lower-level depots in the western and central areas," the Ukrainska Pravda source noted.

SSU drones also struck the Gerkon Plus oil depot in the settlement of Streletskie Khutora, Lipetsk Oblast, where an intense fire broke out. In addition to Lipetsk Oblast, this oil depot also supplied petroleum products to Russia's Tambov and Voronezh oblasts.
