It is one of the largest Russian oil refineries, processing up to 15 million tons of oil and condensate per year. The refinery is involved in supplying the Russian armed forces.
In addition, Ukrainian defenders hit an ammunition depot near the village of Avdiivske, as well as areas where enemy personnel were concentrated in the Myrnohrad and Rodynske districts of the Donetsk region. Enemy losses are currently being clarified.
"The Armed Forces will continue to take measures to undermine the offensive potential of the Russian invaders and force the Russian Federation to end its armed aggression against Ukraine," the General Staff emphasized.
