Ukrainian armed forces announced Wednesday they had successfully targeted multiple Russian energy facilities, including an oil terminal, refinery, and gas processing facility, as the country resumes its campaign against Russian energy infrastructure following a brief pause in operations.
According to Ukraine’s General Staff and drone forces commander Robert Brovdi, who posted updates on Telegram, the attacks targeted the Tamanneftegas terminal in Russia’s Krasnodar region and a gas processing facility in Astrakhan, both located in southern Russia.
The operations resulted in fires breaking out at fuel storage reservoirs, military officials reported.
Ukrainian forces also targeted a refinery facility in Yaroslavl, situated northeast of Moscow, with strikes hitting primary oil processing units, according to military statements.
These attacks are part of Ukraine’s ongoing strategy to target Russian petroleum facilities, as Moscow relies on income from its substantial oil and gas resources to fund its military operations in the conflict that has now entered its fifth year.
