According to a source in GUR, the university supports the activities of several educational institutions in several regions of the Russian Federation, including 7 institutes.

"As a result of the operation, the internal information infrastructure of the object was hit, the target resources of the enemy (websites, databases, file stores) with a total volume of more than 150 terabytes were destroyed," the source said.

In particular, 11 websites, more than seven thousand official PCs, 135 servers and file stores were attacked.

In addition, according to the source, a series of cyberattacks were carried out on a number of targeted internet resources and file stores of enemy organizations. After gaining access to the network infrastructure, a propaganda leaflet in support of the offensive operations of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was published on the affected web resources.
