The journalists have exclusive video footage confirming the operation. <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"> \n<iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_21840\"  width=\"800\" height=\"450\"  data-origwidth=\"800\" data-origheight=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WH2sid3zZAQ?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=1&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe>\n <\/div><\/figure>\n\n<p>According to the Defence Intelligence <strong> of Ukraine<\/strong>, the attacked base was used by the Russian military to produce and test attack UAVs, as well as for the creation of&#8221;camouflaged improvised explosive devices&#8221;. The facility also stored warheads for these devices. <\/p>\n\n<p>The video obtained by the editorial office shows a flag of <strong> the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine<\/strong> not far from the garage, which, according to sources, was used as a Russian base. Shortly thereafter , a massive explosion occurred at the site , followed by the detonation of ammunition. <\/p>\n\n<p>Explosive experts who analysed the video at the request of <strong>InfoLight.UA<\/strong>, believe that the explosion was most likely caused by a rifle bullet rather than an RPG shot. The bullet may have hit the explosives, which, according to the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, had been previously planted inside the facility. <\/p>\n\n<p>As a reminder, that at the end of July 2024 , our sources in the intelligence services reported another operation by the&#8221;Chemist&#8221; unit of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine in Syria. At that time, the target of the attack was Russian military equipment at the Kuwait City airfield , located east of Aleppo. <\/p>\n\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ukrinform.ua\/rubric-society\/3903393-gur-povsudi-neformalna-mereza-provela-akciu-za-kordonom-do-dna-vijskovoi-rozvidki.html\">Kyiv Post,<\/a> <strong>InfoLight.UA&#8217;s<\/strong> own sources .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sources The research and analysis group InfoLight.UA in the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine (DIU) confirm information from the Kyiv Post [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":23456,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","_eb_data_table":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1291],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23459","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/infolight.ua\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/zobrazhennia_2024-09-16_192739657.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/infolight.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23459","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/infolight.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/infolight.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/infolight.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/infolight.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23459"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/infolight.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23459\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23460,"href":"https:\/\/infolight.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23459\/revisions\/23460"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/infolight.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23456"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/infolight.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23459"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/infolight.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23459"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/infolight.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23459"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
