Two key electricity supply stations in Russia have been destroyed amid a suspected Ukrainian drone attack behind enemy lines. Stunning footage taken overnight showed how the bombing of the power stations had created a huge inferno which spiralled high into the night sky. 'In Belgorod and the Belgorod region, two fires were recorded at civilian facilities,' he said, adding there had not been any casualties. The suspected strikes came as Ukraine is reportedly preparing a counteroffensive to grab back territory from invading Russian forces. But officials in Kyiv have also spoken of using sabotage tactics to cause fires and disrupt logistics in Russia.
