Strike at an oil refinery

Ukrainian fighters attacked Albashneft LLC in Krasnodar Krai.

"This plant for primary oil refining and production of petroleum products is positioned as a "mini-refinery" and is involved in the supply of petrol and diesel for the Russian occupation army," it was said in the statement.

The strike caused the fire at the facility. The results are currently being clarified.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine emphasized that strikes on Russia’s strategic targets would continue.

In addition, the soldiers attacked a Buk anti-aircraft missile system located in the temporarily occupied territory of the Zaporizhzhia region. The target was successfully hit and damaged.

As a reminder, the Head of the Center for Countering Disinformation Andrii Kovalenko said that Albashneft owns a refinery with a refining capacity of up to 320,000 tonnes of oil annually.

The West has also lifted the ban on strikes on the entire territory of the Russian Federation, but Ukraine does not have arms for such distances.
