Intelligence unit HUR said its raid late on Friday dealt a “serious blow” to Russia's military logistics.

The 250-mile Koltsevaya pipeline supplies gasoline, diesel and jet fuel from plants in Ryazan, Nizhny Novgorod and Moscow.

The operation destroyed all three fuel lines.

“Our strikes have had more impact than sanctions,” said Kyrylo Budanov, the head of HUR, referring to international sanctions on Russia.
