A significant coordinated drone strike orchestrated by Ukraine's military intelligence (HUR), the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), and the Special Operations Forces (SSO) struck eight Russian oblasts overnight on April 20, according to NV sources.

The Russian Defense Ministry has confirmed that an onslaught involving 50 drones targeted the region. "It was a jolly night," remarked sources familiar with the operation.

The Ukrainian drones targeted the energy infrastructure that powers Russian military facilities, according to these sources. Following the attacks, some areas experienced problems with electricity and water supply.

The attacks damaged at least three substations and a fuel storage base, resulting in fires.

"SBU drones once again proved their effectiveness and demonstrated results — successfully targeting infrastructure that ensures the smooth operation of military facilities on Russian territory," a source in the security services said.

The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.

Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.

For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
