As a result of a massive Russian drone attack on the night of May 18, the Ukrnafta gas station in the Dnipropetrovsk region was destroyed, according to the Naftogaz oil and gas company.
According to the company, several Russian drones struck critical infrastructure facilities belonging to the Naftogaz Group in the Dnipropetrovsk region last night.
Due to ongoing Russian strikes, it is currently impossible to fully assess the extent of the damage.
As a result of the Russian attack on the gas station, two female employees were injured. The victims are receiving necessary medical care. The gas station building and equipment have been destroyed.
Naftogaz emphasizes that all the targeted facilities are exclusively civilian infrastructure and have no connection to military objectives.
All relevant services are working on the ground. The full extent of the attacks is still being assessed.
