DIU organised large-scale explosions in Russia
According to the DIU representative Andrii Yusov, the fire at the oil depot in the Klintsy of the Bryansk region on January 19 is a consequence of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Thus, he confirmed that the DIU organised this special operation. It is worth noting that earlier Ukrainian journalists wrote about this regarding their intelligence sources.
Nice rumble, nice explosions. Such events regularly occur at military facilities of the aggressor state. It is clear that when we are talking about the oil depot, which is involved in the supply of fuel and lubricants to the occupying corps, it complicates the logistics for the occupiers, it disrupts the supply schedules and provides additional opportunities, increases the room for maneuver for our defenders, Andrii Yusov emphasised.
In addition, there was also a drone attack on the Tambov powder factory on January 19.
Even though the Russians blame everything on the Armed Forces of Ukraine, journalists have already learned that this is another special operation of the DIU chief team's Kyrylo Budanov.
Initially, the Russian authorities claimed that the plant was not damaged in any way, but new videos from the scene confirm the fact that the enemy is lying again. The destruction isevereus.
