Explosions in Russia

Detonations frequently take place in Russia at fuel storage facilities, power stations, military stockpiles, and industrial complexes for defense production. Such occurrences happen not only in frontier zones but also far inside the nation’s territory, even close to cities like Moscow.

Several assaults have been carried out as part of actions conducted by the Security Service of Ukraine along with other Ukrainian intelligence agencies, utilizing drones extensively to target critical adversary assets. These strikes aim to undermine Russia’s supply lines and military facilities.

For instance, in early April, Ukrainian drones struck the Russian facility known as Promsintez, which is among the top producers of explosives.
