Ukrainian Neptuns hit enemy's rear: military facilities in Oryol knocked out of power

On the night of October 31, the Ukrainian military launched a successful missile strike on a combined heat and power plant (CHPP) in Oryol, russia.

This was reported by the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The attack was carried out with Neptun cruise missiles. The Novobryansk electrical substation was also hit.

Both facilities provided power to military enterprises in the region, so their incapacitation was a serious blow to the logistics of the occupiers.

"The Ukrainian military continues to demonstrate that no enemy rear is safe," the Navy emphasized.
