Ukrainian soldiers also struck the locations of the repair units in the areas of the settlements of Manhush (temporarily occupied territory of the Donetsk region), Tokmak (temporarily occupied territory of the Zaporizhzhia region), and Hrafske (temporarily occupied territory of the Donetsk region).
Strikes on Russian oil refineries
On April 16, the Security Service of Ukraine reported a strike on the Tuapse oil refinery and oil transport infrastructure facilities in the port of Tuapse during an operation conducted jointly with the Defense Forces.
We also reported that the Nizhny Novgorod refinery (NORSI), the fourth largest in Russia, suspended operations after a Ukrainian drone attack on April 5.
And a series of strikes on Russia’s key oil terminals in the Baltic inflicted losses of nearly $1 billion, and it's only lost export revenue.
