The strike on the Russian Olenya airfield and oil refinery was an "Olympic achievement" for Ukrainian soldiers.
This was reported by Andriy Yusov, a representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense, during a telethon broadcast.
"This is truly an Olympic achievement of the Ukrainian defense forces, special forces, and Main Intelligence Directorate. We do not comment on what and where, but the supreme commander-in-chief noted the long-range capability. It is clear that the direction is not hard to guess. Regarding the fact of the strike, we confirm the incident, the strike, something hit somewhere," Yusov stated.
The Main Intelligence Directorate representative also confirmed the strike and damage to a strategic bomber. According to him, this was an important target because the enemy lacks the capability to produce such equipment, which is why they try to hide it as far away as possible. This equipment is used for strikes on civilian objects, as well as civilian and energy infrastructure in Ukraine.
"Overall, this weekend was very fruitful. Massive cyberattacks on Russia's financial structure continue. Incidents at Russian oil refineries and other facilities involved in the war against Ukrainians continue. And of course, 'Olenya' is a special piece of news and somewhat of a dessert for Ukrainians this weekend. And there will certainly be more to come," he added.
