, January 10→Oreshnik strike in Lviv oblast
Reports indicate the Bilche-Volitsko-Uhersky underground [[gas]] storage facility in Stryi was struck, which has a storage capacity of 17.05 billion cubic meters or more than 50% of the total capacity of all storage facilities in Ukraine.<ref>Gas is stored in natural porous sandstones covered by impermeable clay layers: this prevents not only gas leakage but also protects the reservoir from external impact.

The [[infrastructure]] depth ranges from 690 to 890 meters (for comparison: American bunker-busting bombs GBU-57, which were used on [[Fordow]] and other facilities in [[Iran]], can penetrate up to 61 meters). But the '[[geological]] structure has its vulnerability: the Bilche-Volytsko-Uherske underground gas storage area is characterized by a complex tectonic structure with many faults.

Even without explosives, "Oreshnik" can carry 6 to 10 separating blocks, each containing 6 sub-munitions (up to 36 striking elements in total), accelerating to 10 Mach speeds, which may cause seismic waves and disrupt geological integrity along tectonic fault lines.</ref>
