Ukrainska Pravda reports:

"Ukrainian drones attacked the 590th Separate Radio Engineering unit of Military Unit 84680, located in the Russian city of Kovylkino in the Republic of Mordovia, on 17 April...

...The target of the UAV strike was the 29B6 Container, an over-the-horizon radar with a target detection range of about 3000 km and a detection height of over 100 km. The distance from the Ukrainian border to the strike location is approximately 580 kilometres.

The two-coordinate 29B6 Container over-the-horizon radar is part of the air and space reconnaissance and warning system. The first sample of the Container radar was constructed by the Russians in Kovylkino, Mordovia, in 2000-2002.

Residents report hearing explosions around 09:00 through messaging apps. Videos are also being shared online showing a pillar of smoke at the site of the Container radar after the drone strike.

The first attack on the over-the-horizon radar in Kovylkino was reported on 11 April. Media reports indicate that the command post building was damaged during that attack."

Also there was a StormShadow strike on a Moscovian HQ in Luhansk which killed many officers and troops several days ago.

Kazan again.

“Kyiv Post sources confirm that a Wednesday, April 17 UAV attack on an aircraft factory in Tatarstan, Russia, was a special operation by the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine (HUR).

In the morning, HUR drones attacked the Gorbunov Aviation Plant in Kazan, where Russians manufacture and repair Tu-22M and Tu-160M bombers.”
