Russia - Ukraine War News Round-Up -- April 25, 2022

Flames light up the night sky over Bryansk, a Russian city some 70 miles from the Ukraine border, after suspected Ukrainian missile strikes hit oil storage facilities there overnight  

Daily Mail: 'Ukrainian missile strikes' blow up oil facilities in Russia supplying troops in Donbas as British intelligence says Putin's forces have 'yet to achieve a significant breakthrough' and many units are 'exhausted' 

* Explosions rocked two oil storage facilities - one of that at a military base - in Russian city of Bryansk overnight 

* Blasts, though to have been caused by Ukrainian missiles, sparked huge fires which raged into the morning 

 * Bryansk is a logistical hub supplying Russian forces in Donbas, where Putin's main offensive is taking place 

* UK says Russia has yet to achieve any 'significant breakthrough' of Ukrainian defences in the region, because of poor logistical support and ongoing fighting in Mariupol tying up troops 

Flames lit up the sky over Russia in the early hours after suspected Ukrainian missile strikes blew up two oil storage facilities supplying Putin's troops fighting for control of Donbas. 

The Transneft-Druzhba Oil Depot, located in the city of Bryansk around 70 miles from the Ukrainian border, caught fire at 2am local time before a second fire broke out at a nearby military facility around 15 minutes later, Russian state media said this morning.
