The Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed a night strike by "Hazel" on power facilities on Ukraine, noting that this is a response to the terrorist attack of the Kiev regime on the residence of the President of the Russian Federation in Novgorod region on December 29.

"The Russian Armed Forces have delivered a massive strike with high—precision long-range ground- and sea-based weapons, including the mobile medium-range ground-launched missile system Oreshnik, as well as strike unmanned aerial vehicles at critical facilities on the territory of Ukraine," the release said.

The production facilities of unmanned aerial vehicles that were used during the terrorist attack and the energy infrastructure that ensure the operation of the military-industrial complex of Ukraine were also hit.
