On the night of January 14, Ukraine's Defense Forces carried out a massive strike on the occupiers' military facilities located 200 to 1,100 km deep within the territory of the russian federation, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) on January 14.
Targets in the Bryansk, Saratov, and Tula oblasts, as well as the Republic of Tatarstan, were hit.
"The fuel storage base 'Kristall Complex' in Engels, the Saratov oblast, was successfully attacked again. The fire, which had just been extinguished after burning for five days following the previous strike, was reignited by units of Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces and the Main Intelligence Directorate", - the statement reads.
Additionally, the Bryansk Chemical Plant in the city of Seltso, a strategic facility of russia's military-industrial complex, was struck. The plant produces ammunition for artillery, multiple rocket launcher systems, aviation, engineering munitions, and components for Kh-59 cruise missiles. Secondary detonations at the plant lasted for several hours. Two enemy anti-aircraft missile systems, the "Tor" and "Buk", were also destroyed during the attack.
The General Staff reported that the operation involved units from the Unmanned Systems Forces, Special Operations Forces, Security Service of Ukraine, Missile Forces, Air Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense.
Furthermore, the Main Intelligence Directorate and the Security Service of Ukraine targeted strategic military-industrial complex facilities, including the Saratov Oil Refinery and the Kazanorgsintez plant. Fires broke out at both sites.
"To be continued..." - promised the General Staff of the AFU.
Meanwhile, the military department of the aggressor country vaguely reported that "an attempt was made from Ukrainian territory to launch a missile strike on objects in the Bryansk oblast using six operational-tactical ATACMS missiles produced in the USA, six air-launched Storm Shadow cruise missiles produced in the UK, and 31 aircraft-type unmanned aerial vehicles".
