Drones operated by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) struck the Vtorovo oil pumping station in Russia's Vladimir region for the second time this month. The facility supplies fuel to Moscow.
The station is part of Transneft-Upper Volga JSC and serves as a key logistics hub for pumping refined petroleum products to export ports and domestic consumers.
It is used to transport diesel fuel to the Moscow Ring Product Pipeline, from where it is delivered to major oil depots around Moscow. The station also supports petroleum product exports through Baltic Sea ports.
