JAKARTA - Russian special forces stormed a warehouse in Ukraine, securing a number of military equipment, from armored vehicles to important documents, in disguised buildings.

The Russian National Guard seized military equipment and weapons belonging to Ukrainian soldiers in the Kharkov Region in a warehouse disguised as a storage base for agricultural machinery, the agency's press service told TASS.

"During reconnaissance and search activities in the Kharkov Region, special forces of the Russian National Guard discovered an arsenal of equipment and weapons belonging to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which was carefully disguised as a storage base for agricultural machinery," the statement read, quoted from TASS April 7.

The department also noted that the National Guard seized two armored reconnaissance and patrol vehicles, and one of them had an anti-tank guided missile installation and was equipped with 15 anti-tank guided missiles.

"In addition, in this warehouse, Russian special forces found the ZU-23-2 double-barreled anti-aircraft autocannon based on the ZIL vehicle, ten boxes for anti-aircraft installations with equipped belts, 17 zinc cartridges of various calibers, and documentation from the Ukrainian army with the coordinates of the intended target," the agency concluded.

To note, Russia's six-week invasion of Ukraine has forced more than 4 million people to flee, killed or injured thousands, and left cities devastated.
