Ukrainian special forces strike deep inside Russia blowing up a drone storage site

Ukrainian special forces have attacked a “logistics hub” storing Shahed drones deep behind enemy lines on Saturday.

The SBU Special Operations Center “A” attacked the warehouse in the Republic of Tartastan which is around 1,300 kilometres from Ukraine using a long-range drone.

The warehouse also had foreign produced components which are used to build the drones in the settlement of Kzyl-Yul.

In a statement, Ukraine‘s Security Service wrote: “This morning, long-range drones of the SBU Special Operations Center “A” hit a logistics hub where ready-to-use Shaheds are stored, as well as foreign components for them. This warehouse is located in the settlement of Kzyl-Yul, Republic of Tatarstan.

“After the explosion, a fire broke out. The distance from Ukraine to the point of impact is about 1,300 kilometers. The security service continues its consistent work on the demilitarisation of Russian military facilities deep behind enemy lines.

“The Shahed storage warehouses, with which the enemy terrorises Ukraine every night, are one of the legitimate military targets. Each such successful special operation reduces the enemy’s ability to wage a war of aggression against Ukraine.”
